Derrick Jones Jr. draws start for Heat on Wednesday to fill in for Kelly Olynyk (shoulder)
Miami Heat small forward Derrick Jones Jr. will start on Wednesday night against the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Kelly Olynyk is out with a shoulder injury, so Jones will step into the first unit alongside Goran Dragic, Josh Richardson, Justise Winslow, and Hassan Whiteside. He's averaging 4.3 points and 2.9 rebounds in 21.9 minutes across seven previous starts this season.
numberFire's models project Jones to score 12.8 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,500 on Wednesday.
