Houston's D.J. Augustin starting for injured Kevin Porter Jr. on Friday night
Houston Rockets point guard D.J. Augustin is starting in Friday's lineup against the Milwaukee Bucks.
What It Means:
Augustin will make his first start with Houston this season after Kevin Porter Jr. was ruled out with a left ankle sprain. In a fast tempo matchup against a Bucks' team playing with a 103.5 pace, our models project the veteran to score 14.0 FanDuel points at the salary of $3,500.
Augustin's projection includes 6.6 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists.
