T.J. McConnell moving to Indiana second unit Thursday
Indiana Pacers point guard T.J. McConnell is not in the starting lineup on Thursday versus the Los Angeles Lakers.
What It Means:
McConnell is moving back to the bench as Tyrese Haliburton (knee/elbow) returns from a multi-game absence. He's averaging 29.1 minutes per game when Haliburton is inactive this season, but only 17.3 minutes when they are both active.
numberFire's models project McConnell for 19.6 minutes and 19.8 FanDuel points on Thursday, and he has a $6,300 salary on the Main slate. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Lakers’ implied total (119.0) is No. 4 out of 14 active teams today and the game total (240.5) is the highest on the board.
