76ers' Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot making first start of career Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot will start for Robert Covington (hand) to face the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday.

What It Means:

"We'll go with Timmy tonight, and give him a taste of starting in the NBA," head coach Brett Brown said of his rookie. Luwawu remains no more than a deep-league option, but he could be worth a punt play on DFS in his first starting gig.
