Markelle Fultz will serve as Sixers' backup point guard for Game 3
Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz will be the team's backup point guard in Game 3, reports Derek Bodner of The Athletic.
After playing 14 minutes in Game 1, Fultz logged just five minutes on Monday night. Coach Brett Brown believes that the rookie learned from the physicality of Game 2, so he will carry a slightly heavier workload on Thursday. His minutes shouldn't reach higher than the mid-teens, but this should mean fewer minutes for a guy like T.J. McConnell.
At $3,700, we project Fultz for 17.0 FanDuel points in tonight's road matchup with the Miami Heat.
