Magic's Cole Anthony making first NBA start on Friday
Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony will start on Friday in the team's game against the Houston Rockets.
Anthony has been coming off the bench so far in his young NBA career, but that's all changing Friday against the Rockets. Usual starting point guard Markelle Fultz will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL, leaving a gaping hole in the lineup. For now, Anthony will fill that role, though head coach Steve Clifford said that he won't fill a full workload of minutes just yet.
Our models project Anthony for 14.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 30.5 FanDuel points across 32.1 minutes of action.
