Kelly Oubre gets first start of season for Wizards in place of an injured Jason Smith
Washington Wizards forward Kelly Oubre is making his first start of the season as he fills in at power forward in place of Jason Smith on Friday night.
What It Means:
Smith sprained his shoulder in the season opener on Wednesday, leaving after just 7 minutes of action. Oubre filled in at power forward, scoring 14 points with 8 rebounds in 32 minutes against the Philadelphia 76ers. He is getting his first start of the season, and just the 15th in 144 games played in his three-year NBA career.
Our models project Oubre for 9.8 points and 5.7 rebounds in 31.9 minutes of action for 22.2 FanDuel points versus the Detroit Pistons on Friday.
