Miami's Wayne Ellington starting in place of Goran Dragic (knee) on Saturday
According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Miami Heat guard Wayne Ellington will be in the starting lineup with Goran Dragic ruled out for Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets.
What It Means:
Ellington isn't a true point guard, so it's likely that Josh Richardson does most of the ball-handling for Miami. Still, Ellington will get up his shots and likely see at least 35 minutes on Saturday. Derrick Jones should serve as his primary backup while logging additional minutes from the bench.
Across a projected 35.3 minutes, Ellington's expected to produce 24.4 FanDuel points at a cost of $4,400 on the Saturday slate.
