Willy Hernangomez starting for Pelicans Friday in place of injured Steven Adams
New Orleans Pelicans center Willy Hernangomez is in the lineup Friday in the team's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
Hernangomez is getting the nod at center against Joel Embiid and the 76ers. With Steven Adams sidelined with a toe injury, Hernangomez figures to be the main option down low.
Our models project Hernangomez for 10.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 27.4 FanDuel points across 28.1 minutes of action.
