C.J. Watson (Achilles) will return Friday in Orlando
Orlando Magic guard C.J. Watson (Achilles) will play Friday night against the Miami Heat.
What It Means:
Watson has only missed three games after being injured right before the All Star Break. His minutes were trending downward before he got hurt, but he could still have a solid role off the bench or starting for Orlando tonight. With Elfrid Payton and D.J. Augustin still around this is an avoidable situation in fantasy right now. Payton should still have the most run tonight as long as he starts.
Our models project Payton for 13.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.2 steals over 29.4 minutes against the Heat.
