Bucks' Jevon Carter coming off bench Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jevon Carter is not in the starting lineup on Thursday versus the Boston Celtics.

WHAT IT MEANS:

Khris Middleton is replacing Carter in the starting lineup after sitting out last game. Carter will play limited minutes off the bench.

Carter has a $4,300 salary on Thursday’s two-game slate and numberFire's models project him for 10.3 FanDuel points over 14.1 minutes. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Bucks’ implied total (120.0) and the game total (237.5) are both the highest of the day.
