Larry Nance Jr. (illness) sits out Cavaliers practice
Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Larry Nance Jr. (illness) did not practice on Wednesday.
What It Means:
Nance was ruled out late last game and it looks like he may be uncertain for Thursday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. Dean Wade replaced Nance in the starting lineup in the previous outing and scored 7 points with 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks over 34 minutes. Taurean Prince could be more involved Thursday if Nance remains out.
numberFire's models currently project LNJ for 23.7 FanDuel points on Thursday. Wade is averaging 21.4 FanDuel points across six starts this season. The 76ers are allowing the sixth-fewest FanDuel points per game to the power forward position over the last seven games.
