76ers' Richaun Holmes: Likely on track to start Friday

With coach Brett Brown labeling Jahlil Okafor (knee) as doubtful for Friday's game against the Bulls, Holmes is expected to enter the starting lineup at center, Jessica Camerato of CSN Philadelphia reports.

Analysis:

Okafor and Holmes typically cannibalize the fantasy utility of one another when both are active, but Holmes will represent an intriguing low-cost DFS option Friday in the event Okafor sits. When Okafor was last held out Monday against the Magic, Holmes erupted for his best performance of the season, turning in 24 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 42 minutes. A repeat performance shouldn't necessarily be expected, but Holmes has shown on multiple occasions that this season that he's capable of flirting with double-double production when he's handed the bulk of the minutes at center.
