Julian Phillips: Starting WednesdayPhillips (illness) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Kevin Huerter (hamstring) has been ruled out against the Nets on Wednesday.Huerter exited early from Monday's game, which allowed Julian Phillips to start the second half in his place, though he only contributed 10 points and three rebounds in 20 minutes. Tre Jones ended up setting a new season high for scoring with 20 points and would be a much better streaming option, even if he doesn't start.
