Deng Adel makes first career start

Deng Adel tallied two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes in Cleveland's 103-96 loss to the Celtics on Tuesday.

Fantasy Implications: Adel got the start because of the multitude of Cleveland's frontcourt injuries. Coming into tonight's contest, the undrafted Louisville rookie had a limited role in only seven games. Unfortunately, he was unable to make much of an impression during his first career start, and did little to improve upon his seasonal average of 2.1 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.3 assists.
