Markelle Fultz will start against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday in the season opener, according to coach Brett Brown. Fultz will start with Ben Simmons, Robert Covington, Dario Saric, and Joel Embiid meaning JJ Redick will come off the bench. (Jon Johnson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Fultz is one of the players expected to make the most leap in his second season in the NBA. With Fultz now in the starting five, he should be added in all leagues and will be a solid cheap value play to open the season. Redick gets a downgrade with this news but is still in play for three-pointers.
