PT TODAY: Díaz to fill in for Peña in Houston

 

(NOTE: Readers will notice some subtle changes in our PT TODAY coverage that will allow our team analysts more flexibility in logging their changes to our playing time percentages that fuel our rest-of-season projections. Two specific notes: First, the header for each item links to that organization's Team View page, which you can view our projected PT% for each player, and access their individual PlayerLink pages. Second, incorporating all of the day's PT% changes into this article (as in the previous version) is still to come. In the meantime, we've asked the analysts to include a sense of these changes in their analysis.)
