Richaun Holmes draws 76ers' start, Jahlil Okafor off the bench
Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Richaun Holmes will start against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday, and center Jahlil Okafor will come off the bench.
What It Means:
With Dirk Nowitzki at the five, head coach Brett Brown would rather have a defensive five man in Holmes out there. He should be looking at minutes in the 20's with Okafor behind him. This will be just the second time Okafor will come off the bench in the last two months. He had started all nine games he appeared in since the All-Star break. Okafor's playing time shouldn't be impacted significantly.
Holmes costs $4,600 on FanDuel tonight and our models expect him to score 25.1 fantasy points (FP). Okafor ($5,400) is projected for 23.3 FP.
