Corey Brewer

Corey Brewer making his first start of the year for the Lakers on Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Corey Brewer is starting at small forward on Friday night.

What It Means:

Brewer replaces Luol Deng in the starting five after playing 16 minutes on Thursday night. The move is temporary as Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will join the starting lineup when first eligible to do so on Sunday.

Our models projected Brewer for 6.8 FanDuel points in 9.6 minutes before word of his new role for Friday was announced.
