Shabazz Napier replaces Damian Lillard (paternity) in Trail Blazers' lineup versus Grizzlies
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Shabazz Napier is starting on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies.
What It Means:
Damian Lillard is flying home to tend to the birth of his child, so Napier will make his eighth start of the season. Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts also said Pat Connaughton will see additional minutes and that Wade Baldwin should see a boost.
numberFire's models project Napier to score 27.7 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,500 on Wednesday.
