Chicago's Cam Payne starting in place of injured Kris Dunn (toe) Saturday night
Chicago Bulls point guard Cameron Payne will start on Saturday, reports K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune.
What It Means:
Kris Dunn (toe) was ruled out yesterday, so this was expected. Jerian Grant, who has been out of the rotation, will back up Payne, with each player's minutes unknown. Denzel Valentine could also pick up some ball-handling duties in the starting lineup.
In his first start of the year, Payne will come at a cost of $4,400. He's averaging 19.5 FanDuel points in 11 games this season.
