Chicago Bulls point guard Cameron Payne is starting in Thursday's season opener versus the Philadelphia 76ers.
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.
