76ers' rule out De'Anthony Melton (back, injury recovery) for Game 2 Monday
The Philadelphia 76ers ruled out De'Anthony Melton (back, injury recovery) for Game 2 of the first round playoff series against the New York Knicks.
What It Means:
Melton missed the 76ers' first game as well, and his early rule-out here doesn't bode well for his availability in this critical playoff series. His absence should keep Kyle Lowry's heavy workload in place on Monday.
Without Melton in the lineup, our model has Lowry projected for another 20.7 FanDuel points in Monday's clash with the Knicks, with 7.6 points, 3.5 boards, and 4.6 assists. His salary is set to $4,700.
