Kings' Tyrese Haliburton starting for late-scratched Buddy Hield (illness)
The Sacramento Kings have ruled out Buddy Hield (illness) for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans and will instead have Tyrese Haliburton in the starting lineup Monday night.
What It Means:
Hield was an unexpected scratch, but his absence does open up an opportunity for his exciting rookie teammate to rejoin the starting lineup.
Haliburton is now a very appealing option for daily fantasy with a $5,700 salary on FanDuel. Our models project him for 32.3 fantasy points off of 15.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 5.4 assists.
