Orlando's C.J. Watson (Achilles) will not suit up Thursday
Orlando Magic point guard C.J. Watson (Achilles) will not suit up for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
What It Means:
Watson made an early exit with the injury in Orlando's final game before the All-Star break, and it looks like the week off wasn't enough for him to heal up. Look for Elfrid Payton to draw the start at point guard on Thursday.
Our models project Payton for 13.5 points, 6.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 2.0 3-pointers in 29.6 minutes of action on Thursday.
