Cameron Payne draws start for Bulls Thursday night
Chicago Bulls point guard Cameron Payne is starting in Thursday's season opener versus the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
Kris Dunn is out for personal reasons, so Payne will start. He averaged 9.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.6 3-pointers, and 1.9 turnovers on 38.6 percent shooting in 14 starts for the Bulls last season. Zach LaVine may also run the point a little more with Dunn unavailable.
numberFire's models project Payne to score 25.1 FanDuel points in 28.5 minutes at a cost of $4,000 on Thursday.
