Robert Sacre Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections
Robert Sacre starting for the injured Roy Hibbert
Robert Sacre will be starting tonight for Roy Hibbert. Sacre is a tough option to recommend tonight but is a viable punt play due to his minimum salary. Sacre will likely not see over 20 minutes but if he can stay out of foul trouble he has a chance to exceed value. With Sacre starting, Tarik Black will be his backup and is a viable option as well. Julius Randle will likely play most of the minutes at PF tonight so Byron Scott could have Brandon Bass also playing center alongside him. The Pacers are a team we like to target big men against but the only sure thing is Randle, with the other three players only being low-end tournament options.
Roy Hibbert (ankle) expected to be out tonight
Roy Hibbert has been listed as doubtful for tonight with a sprained ankle. With Lakers Coach Byron Scott being completely irrational, it'll be tough to know who he will start in his place. Robert Sacre started the second half against the Spurs on Saturday but Tarik Black is still a possibility. Black has the higher upside and we can also see the Lakers bring in Brandon Bass for some extended minutes tonight. Bass saw the most minutes out of those three players on Saturday and will likely see around 28-30 minutes tonight if the Lakers can keep it close. Bass, Black, and Sacre are only tournament options and should be used sparingly.
