John Wall (injury management) expected to sit Monday for Clippers
Los Angeles Clippers point guard John Wall (injury management) is not expected to play on Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, per head coach Tyronn Lue.
Wall will likely be rested on the second end of the Clippers' back-to-back. He played 28 minutes on Sunday and scored 12 points (6-15 field goals) with 3 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals. Reggie Jackson (thigh) could also sit out Monday, which would leave the Clippers short on traditional point guards. Terance Mann will likely see more backcourt minutes if Wall and Jackson are both out. Wall has the second-highest usage rate (28.9%) in the Clippers' rotation this season behind Paul George (31.3%).
Jackson is numberFire's sixth-best value in the NBA on Monday with Wall ruled out. He has a $4,500 salary and is projected for 26.6 FanDuel points over 36.9 minutes. However, the Cavs are allowing the second-fewest FanDuel points per game to the point guard position this season, and according to our NBA Heat Map, the Clippers’ implied total (104.5) is second-lowest in the league today.
