LaMarcus Aldridge (heart) in Spurs' starting lineup versus Portland

San Antonio Spurs forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (heart) will return to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

What It Means:

Aldridge isn't expected to have any sort of minutes limit after the two-game absence. His return to the starting lineup will likely sap away the majority of David Lee's value and also knock down Kawhi Leonard's usage rate.

numberFire's models project Aldridge for 17.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 blocks in 32.9 minutes of action in his return on Wednesday.
