Bulls without Pau Gasol (hand) for matchup with Nuggets
Chicago Bulls forward/center Pau Gasol (hand) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Denver Nuggets, with Cameron Bairstow starting in his place.
What It Means:
Bairstow hasn't done much at all this season. While he'll be drawing the start tonight, Bobby Portis offers a lot more upside and is a much more attractive DFS target. The Bulls are on the first game of a back-to-back set, so Gasol may miss Saturday's game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler will be busy on offense sans Gasol.
Gasol has a solid 6.3 nERD, which ranks 24th, in 46 games played this season. He's averaging 16.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.0 blocks per game while posting a 52.8 True Shooting Percentage.
