DeAndre Jordan starting for Lakers Sunday in place of injured Anthony Davis
Los Angeles Lakers center DeAndre Jordan is in the lineup Sunday in the team's game against the Chicago Bulls.
What It Means:
Jordan has been coming off the bench for a while now, but due to the Lakers being severely shorthanded, that will change. Anthony Davis is expected to miss roughly a month due to an MCL sprain, and Dwight Howard is in the COVID-19 health and safety protocols. In their absence, Jordan will be elevated to the starting center role.
Our models project Jordan for 7.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 23.8 FanDuel points across 22.3 minutes of action.
