Fantasy Impact:
In place of Sampson, look for Bitadze to potentially step-into a larger role. However, with this being his first action since recovering from a right ankle sprain, it wouldn’t be wise to think that he would put up a line that would significantly if at all, bring a winning dynamic to your lineups. Instead, look for the Pacers to get creative in addressing the position and skill gap with Myles Turner and Sampson out. Trusted Doug McDermott and Justin Holiday have been viable options in the past and should continue tonight. Both Holiday and McDermott have produced nearly identical stats so far this season; however, Holiday has been more efficient and has a tad more production in multiple statistical categories. Both are worth taking a chance on as a cheap flier in DFS formats.
