De'Anthony Melton (back) officially probable Friday for Philadelphia
Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) is probable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
What It Means:
The 76ers are officially listing Melton as probable, but head coach Nick Nurse said Thursday that he will return from an 18-game absence and play versus the Cavaliers. Melton will likely be on restricted minutes after the extended absence. However, his return is still expected to take playing time away from Cam Payne.
numberFire's models project Melton for 22.7 minutes and 20.5 FanDuel points on Friday. Per our NBA Heat Map, the 76ers' implied total (112.0) is No. 14 out of 20 active teams today.
