Portland's Kent Bazemore starting in place of Rodney Hood (back)

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Kent Bazemore is in the starting rotation on Tuesday in the team's game against the Sacramento Kings.

What It Means:

Rodney Hood was a surprise inactive on Tuesday night with back spasms, and Bazemore will take over his starting spot on the wing. It's unclear how long Hood will be sidelined, but in the meantime, Bazemore should get extended run.

Our models project Bazemore for 7.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 17.5 FanDuel points across 21.0 minutes of action.
