76ers' De'Anthony Melton (back) out indefinitely
Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) is out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.
What It Means:
76ers head coach Nick Nurse said he isn't sure when Melton will be able to return after exiting Tuesday's game early due to back spasms. In the meantime, there will be more playing time available for Kelly Oubre, Cam Payne, and Ricky Council.
numberFire's models project Oubre for 27.7 minutes and 26.2 FanDuel points on Friday. Payne is projected for 15.7 minutes and 15.2 FanDuel points. Per our NBA Heat Map, the 76ers' implied total (112.5) is No. 9 out of 14 teams on the Main slate.
