3 years agoPortland Trail Blazers small forward Elijah Hughes has shifted into the starting lineup for Monday's contest vs. the Thunder due to the team's widespread injury issues. The start will be Hughes' third since joining Portland, and he figures to receive a sizable minutes total with limited healthy wings in the mix. In 16 games since joining the Blazers, Hughes has reached double digits in scoring just once; he has shot 30.7 percent overall in that span. While Hughes would not traditionally be seen as having scoring upside, the combination of a decimated lineup and limited options will give him upside DFS appeal.--Jesse Borek
