Daniel Gafford starting for Wizards Friday night; Thomas Bryant (ankle) to bench
Washington Wizards forward Daniel Gafford will start Friday in the team's game against the San Antonio Spurs.
What It Means:
Head coach Wes Unseld hinted at a lineup change, and here it is. Gafford had been coming off the bench for the last couple weeks, but coming out of the All-Star Break, he is being elevated to a starting role. In a corresponding move, Thomas Bryant - who is dealing with an ankle injury but was declared active a short while ago - will come off the bench.
Our models currently project Gafford for 6.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 15.7 FanDuel points across 13.1 minutes of action, but it seems as though he's in store for a larger role.
