Justin Anderson to take Robert Covington's (knee) spot in 76ers' lineup Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington (right knee soreness) will not play on Wednesday, and Justin Anderson will start against the Atlanta Hawks.
What It Means:
Covington had an MRI on his right knee and the results have not been revealed yet. With the 76ers well out of the playoffs, it's possible they choose to be very conservative with his health. Justin Anderson gets a massive boost here, finally getting his chance to start, as he should be looking at huge minutes. The 76ers will have to play shooting guard Nik Stauskas at the one to open up some wing minutes and may even need Anderson to play minutes at the four.
Anderson becomes one of the best DFS values tonight at minimum cost ($3,500) on FanDuel. We project him for 13.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 30.1 minutes.
