Dante Cunningham replacing Terrence Jones (thumb) in Pelicans' first unit
New Orleans Pelicans forward Dante Cunningham will start for Terrence Jones (thumb) against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday.
What It Means:
Cunningham will take a walk down narrative street on Friday night for a revenge game against his former employer. He and Donatas Motiejunas are both worth a look as budget DFS plays versus Minnesota.
With Jones out, our models slightly prefer Cunningham for fantasy purposes, as we expect him to record 18.0 fantasy points (FP) across 29.7 minutes. Motiejunas is projected to turn in 16.7 FP over 20.6 minutes. They both cost the minimum $3,500 on FanDuel.
