Hassan Whiteside likely to play off Portland's bench
According to Highkin head coach Terry Stotts said, "in all likelihood" the Portland Trail Blazers will start Carmelo Anthony and Jusuf Nurkic.
What It Means:
Stotts added he "hasn't ruled out starting Nurk and Whiteside together" but it looks like Whiteside will come off the bench when play restarts in Orlando. Expect Whiteside to see around an even split in minutes at the center position with Nurkic active.
In 1911 minutes this season, Whiteside is averaging 1.38 FanDuel points per minute and a usage rate of 19.5%.
