UPDATE: Morant is available to play Monday vs. the Timberwolves.

Ja Morant ($8,400) missed Friday’s game due to foot soreness. He’s listed as questionable for Monday’s contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Interestingly, Taylor Jenkins changed things up on Friday. Scotty Pippen Jr. had been an auto-replacement for Morant when he’s been out. On Friday, Luke Kennard ($4,800) entered the starting lineup and played 26 minutes while Desmond Bane ($7,600) was the defacto point guard. Bane garnered a 25.7% usage rate and contributed 22 points, six rebounds, 14 assists and three steals, good for 57.5 FPTS.

Zach Edey ($4,100) left Friday’s game after seven minutes due to a nose injury. He’s off the injury report and should get the start.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
