Lakers' Rajon Rondo (back) questionable for Friday's Game 1 matchup against Nuggets
Los Angeles Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo (back) is questionable to play in Friday's Game 1 playoff matchup against the Denver Nuggets.
What It Means:
Rondo's injury is somewhat concerning after back spasms previously sidelined the veteran point guard for two playoff games. Expect Alex Caruso to play more minutes off the Lakers' bench if Rondo is ruled out.
Rondo's current Game 1 projection includes 8.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 6.0 assists for a total of 22.1 FanDuel points.
