Clippers to go with committee approach at power forward
Los Angeles Clippers head coach Doc Rivers "wouldn't commit to staring any one player in Blake Griffin's spot," reports ClutchPoints' Tomer Azarly.
What It Means:
Without one true starter, it's likely that Rivers feels out lineups using Sam Dekker, Montrezl Harrell and Willie Reed. Dekker's played the most minutes (19) beside DeAndre Jordan this season so he should be first in line. However, there's a chance that the Clippers try Danilo Gallinari (glute) at the four when he returns.
Over 57 games, our models like Dekker to log the most minutes (1,333) of the three for the remainder of the 2017 season.
