Amir Johnson Expected to Start on Saturday
7 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers forward/center Amir Johnson is expected to draw the start at center on Saturday. Head coach Brett Brown confirmed on Friday that Joel Embiid (eye) will not play in Game 1 versus the Miami Heat. There is a chance that Embiid does return during this series. Johnson is expected to join the starting five, while Ersan Ilyasova and Richaun Holmes will see increased playing time off the bench. DFS players are going to want to target either Ilyasova or Holmes for this contest. Johnson is going to start, but won't make a big enough impact to help in DFS.
