Jordan Mickey starting with Bam Adebayo (ankle) ruled out Tuesday for Miami
According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Miami Heat power forward/center Jordan Mickey will be in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game.
What It Means:
With Bam Adebayo (ankle) and Hassan Whiteside (hip) out, Mickey will draw his first start of the year. However, Kelly Olynyk should see more time as James Johnson also gets more minutes in the frontcourt.
Averaging 9.9 FanDuel points and 12.1 minutes a game, Mickey is projected for 8.8 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,500 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
