It also lists several players out for the night — Jose Alvarado (oblique), Dejounte Murray (leg), Benedict Mathurin (thumb), Isaiah Jackson (concussion), Sam Merrill (hand), Darius Garland (foot), Josh Giddey (hamstring), Zach Collins (toe), Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and Anthony Edwards (foot) — and says those absences could open opportunities for others.

McClure, described as a DFS professional with more than $2 million in career winnings and a predictive model that simulates every minute of every game 10,000 times, is reportedly stacking McConnell with center Jay Huff; the outlet notes Huff has averaged 8.4 points across 41 games and recently scored 20 points in multiple outings.
