Bobby Portis opens for Bulls with 20 points, 11 boards in loss
Chicago Bulls forward/center scored 20 points (8-of-15 field goals, 1-of-2 free throws) with 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, and 3 3-pointers in 33.1 minutes of a 127-108 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers in Thursday's season opener.
Portis came out swinging with a quick 13 points in the first quarter before settling down. Lauri Markkanen (elbow) is out and Jabari Parker was objectively bad in his Bulls debut, so Portis should continue to thrive for the time being. Next up is a Saturday game versus the Detroit Pistons.
Portis scored 42.2 FanDuel points on Thursday, beating out numberFire's projection of 29.7 FanDuel points.
