Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) doubtful for Bulls Monday
Chicago Bulls power forward Lauri Markkanen is doubtful to play Monday against the Washington Wizards due to a right shoulder sprain.
What It Means:
Markkanen is headed for a second absence after injuring his shoulder during Friday's game. Denzel Valentine figures to draw another start Monday while Thaddeus Young, Garrett Temple, and Patrick Williams could also take on additional minutes. Valentine scored 20 points with 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 4 triples over 37 minutes as a starter on Saturday.
numberFire’s models project Valentine for 24.6 FanDuel points versus the Wizards and he has a salary of $4,400 on Monday. Williams is projected for 26.4 FanDuel points with a salary of $4,500 and is our second-best value at the power forward position on the eight-game slate.
