Brandon Ingram enters Lakers starting lineup, Luol Deng moves to four
Los Angeles Lakers forward Brandon Ingram is starting for Julius Randle (personal) against the Miami Heat on Thursday night while Luol Deng will move to power forward.
Ingram is averaging 35.7 minutes played in eight previous starts this season, making the second-overall pick a solid DFS option for tonight's matchup with Miami. Deng is also worth the look, as is Thomas Robinson, who could push for 30 minutes off the bench in an increased role.
numberFire's metrics are extremely bullish on Robinson for FanDuel purposes on Thursday night, ranking him as the best value play on the board, with 22.1 projected fantasy points (FP) at a $3,600 price tag. Deng ($4,600) is expected to turn in 22.2 FP, according to our models, while we believe Ingram is good for 17.0 FP of his own.
