Mo Wagner (sore back) expects to play on Wednesday

Moritz Wagner
PF, Washington Wizards

Coach Scott Brooks said that Mo Wagner (sore back) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Mavs "unless something crazy happens overnight."

Wagner should have a real role as a backup big man in a depleted frontcourt and makes for a decent late-round flier in deeper leagues.

Joel Embiid
C, Philadelphia Sixers

The Sixers are planning on making an offer to Doc Rivers to become their next head coach following the end of Game 1 of the NBA finals tonight.

The Sixers' management moves fast. They've swung from Tyronn Lue, to Mike D'Antoni and have now apparently settled on Doc Rivers just days after the Clippers let him go. The news is not official yet, but keep an eye out following the end of Game 1 tonight.

LeBron James
SF, Los Angeles Lakers

LeBron James (sore right groin), Anthony Davis, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Danny Green (left volar plate injury) and Dwight Howard have been named as the Lakers starters for Wednesday's Game 1.

James and Green were probable heading into this announcement and there's little surprise that these two vets would be able to take the floor. It's a full-force starting five for L.A. as they hope to secure the initiative in this seven-game series.

Dwight Howard
C, Los Angeles Lakers

Dwight Howard has been selected to start at center for the Lakers in Wednesday's Game 1 vs. the Heat.

The Lakers opt to go big, pairing Howard with Anthony Davis. The duo will be a headache for the Heat to deal with in the paint, but it's a good thing Miami has players who are able to guard multiple positions.

Dwight Howard
C, Los Angeles Lakers

Frank Vogel has yet to name the Lakers' starting center for Wednesday's Game 1 of the NBA Finals vs. the Heat.

The Lakers have had three different starting lineups thus far that all include LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Danny Green and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Dwight Howard got the last two starts against the Nuggets while Markieff Morris was inserted for the final two games vs. the Rockets and JaVale McGee logged the other 11. Seeing as though McGee has started in every Game 1 so far, it puts him as the frontrunner to get the nod on Wednesday. However, it wouldn't come as too much of a surprise if they put Howard out there instead.

Kris Dunn
PG, Chicago Bulls

New Bulls GM Marc Eversley told the media that Kris Dunn didn't participate in the Bulls' minicamp because he is still "not healthy" as he continues to recover from an MCL injury that he suffered on January 31.

Dunn is a restricted free agent this offseason and definitely improved his stock in 2019-20 by proving that he can play multiple positions on the court and does not need to be pigeon-holed into the point guard position. He should garner some interest around the league and it will be interesting to see how much money the Bulls' new management is willing to invest in the 26-year-old.
