Nemanja Bjelica replaces Jimmy Butler (knee) in Timberwolves' starting lineup
Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Nemanja Bjelica is starting at small forward for Jimmy Butler against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday.
What It Means:
This will be Bjelica's first start of the season and just second of his career. There will be plenty of opportunities to go around on offense for the Timberwolves with Butler on the sidelines, so he could have some short-term value depending on the extent of the injury.
numberFire's models project Bjelica to score 9.2 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,500.
