Portland Trail Blazers guard Rayan Rupert is starting in Saturday's lineup versus the Denver Nuggets.
Banton will make his first NBA start after Anfernee Simons was ruled out. In a matchup against a Denver defense allowing 40.1 FanDuel points per game to his position, our models project Rupert to score 16.6 FanDuel points.
Rupert's current projection includes 8.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.2 assists.
