Sixers C Jahlil Okafor Will Start Monday

After sitting out the team's past four game with a sore knee, Jahlil Okafor will be in the Philadelphia 76ers starting lineup Monday against the Sacramento Kings. 

It's a strange decision, as the Sixers have been going with Nerlens Noel as the starter with Joel Embiid sidelined to a knee contusion. In fact, Okafor didn't play Sunday night because head coach Brett Brown indicated he was not in game shape. 

Okafor, a second-year player from Duke, is averaging just 11.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. He doesn't figure to be a DFS relevant option going up against DeMarcus Cousins in Embiid's stead on Monday.
