Magic giving Mario Hezonja first start of season
Orlando Magic guard/forward Mario Hezonja will start in place of the injured Aaron Gordon against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday.
What It Means:
Hezonja has barely played under head coach Frank Vogel, earning only 10.7 minutes per game this season. He gets his first start of the season and could be in line for more minutes as Gordon is likely to be out until the All-Star break. Jeff Green will also earn some time at the three spot on Thursday.
Hezonja looks like an excellent value in DFS Thursday as our models project him for 11.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.3 3-pointers for 21.9 fantasy points at a minimum price tag of $3,500 on FanDuel. He's one of numberFire's top-three value plays tonight.
