Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is the "likely candidate" to replace Avery Bradley (COVID-19 concerns) in the starting lineup, writes Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com.
Bradley had emerged as a full-time starter for the Lakers and was averaging 30-plus minutes over the last five games before the season was suspended. Caldwell-Pope has averaged 28.1 minutes over 20 starts this season, compared to 24.2 per game off the bench. He's also logged the most minutes (1,363.3) for the Lakers whenever Bradley is off the court.
KCP has a 11.5 percent usage rate and averages 0.55 FanDuel points per minute when sharing the floor with Bradley. Those numbers rise to 14.7 percent and 0.69 FanDuel points per game when KCP is playing without Bradley.
