Emeka Okafor

Emeka Okafor is back on the Pelicans' bench on Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans center Emeka Okafor will come off the bench on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers.

What It Means:

Okafor started on Monday over Nikola Mirotic and this looks like it could be a matchup-based situation moving forward if the big man sticks on the Pelicans' roster. The 35-year-old veteran is averaging 5.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in 14.3 minutes across three games for New Orleans this season.

numberFire's models project Okafor to score 13.5 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,600 on Wednesday.
