Bulls' Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) ruled out on Saturday
Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic.
What It Means:
As expected, Markkanen has been downgraded to out after being considered unlikely to play and will not face the Magic on Saturday. He injured his shoulder during Friday's clash with Orlando and will not recover in time. With Markkanen sidelined, rookie Patrick Williams and Thaddeus Young could see additional minutes on Saturday.
The Bulls are 1.5-point favorites over the Magic on Saturday. Their implied team total of 113.25 points is the eighth-highest team total on Saturday's main slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map.
