Pistons' Blake Griffin (hamstring, knee) starting on Friday; Markieff Morris to bench
Detroit Pistons forward/center Blake Griffin is in the starting rotation on Friday in the team's game against the Charlotte Hornets.
What It Means:
Griffin is returning from a one-game absence, and that absence happened to be the second night of a back-to-back set. He's not at 100% health yet, as evidenced by the team not playing him two days in a row, but he'll be out there against Charlotte. Griffin's return means Markieff Morris will return to the second unit.
Our models project Griffin for 36.8 FanDuel points across 30.6 minutes of action.
