Portland putting Shabazz Napier, Pat Connaughton in first unit Monday
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Shabazz Napier and guard/forward Pat Connaughton are currently being listed as starters for Monday's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs.
What It Means:
The absences of Damian Lillard (foot) and C.J. McCollum (hand) create some nice fantasy appeal for Napier in what would be his first start since March 7, 2015 when he was a rookie with the Miami Heat. The third-year guard costs the minimum $3,500 on FanDuel.
numberFire's models project Napier to record 9.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.1 3-pointers in 30.6 minutes on Monday night.
