4 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside is expected to come off the bench during the upcoming NBA restart. Head coach Terry Stotts said that "in all likelihood" Jusuf Nurkic will start with Carmelo Anthony. Trevor Ariza has decided to opt out, which means Anthony will likely start at small forward. Zach Collins would be the favorite to start at the power forward spot. Whiteside had a fantastic season, but his fantasy value is going to take a hit with Nurkic back on the court. Whiteside won't be as desirable off the bench, but he could still be an option for DFS contests.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller
