What It Means:

Drummond had his first practice with the Lakers on Tuesday and he will enter the starting lineup in his first game, per head coach Frank Vogel. “The level of excitement is at an all-time high,” Drummond said. Marc Gasol will presumably move to the second unit and Montrezl Harrell's usage is likely going to take a hit. Drummond hasn’t played since February 12, when the Cleveland Cavaliers decided they would hold him out until they traded him or bought the big man out.

numberFire's models currently project Drummond for 32.3 FanDuel points in 23.1 minutes on Wednesday. He averaged 42.6 FanDuel points with 17.5 points and 13.5 boards in 28.8 minutes over 25 games for the Cavaliers.
