Al Jefferson

Pacers' Al Jefferson will start Saturday against Wizards

Per Clifton Brown of the IndyStar, Indiana Pacers center Al Jefferson will draw the start with Myles Turner (ankle) ruled out Saturday night.

What It Means:

Turner suffered his ankle injury last time out, which caused Al Jefferson to play 25 minutes in the absence of Turner and Domantas Sabonis (ankle). Sabonis is out again for this one, so Jefferson could see similar minutes as he'll probably be backed up by T.J. Leaf.

Prior to the news, Jefferson was projected for 11.3 FanDuel points in 10.4 minutes. He comes at a cost of $4,300 against the Washington Wizards.
