Stanley Johnson (back) to start Wednesday for Detroit
According to The Athletic's James Edwards III, Detroit Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy said guard/forward Stanley Johnson will start Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks.
What It Means:
Jonson told reporters that he expected to play today so this isn't all that surprising. The 21-year-old will be returning from a three-game absence caused by back complications, which sends Reggie Bullock back to the bench and likely limits Luke Kennard's minutes and impact off the bench.
At a price of $5,200, Johnson is projected to produce 18.3 FanDuel points over 28.3 minutes on Wednesday night.
