Cristiano Felicio

Jimmy Butler, Justin Holiday and Cristiano Felicio starting for Bulls

Chicago Bulls center Cristiano Felicio will start on Monday versus the New Orleans Pelicans.

What It Means:

The Bulls will roll with a starting lineup of Jimmy Butler, Justin Holiday, Mike Dunleavy, Nikola Mirotic and Felicio. With Pau Gasol (knee) and Taj Gibson (ribs) out for the season, the Bulls will give Felicio plenty of minutes in the final two games of the season. He had 16 points on 7-of-7 shooting with five boards, one assist and two blocks in 23 minutes in his previous outing, so he's worth a look for any owner in need of a big. He's also a nice cheap option in DFS.

Felicio is averaging 9.1 minutes through 29 contests this year, earning a 0.8 nERD on the year, which ranks 67th. Our models project him to have 7.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.0 blocks tonight against the Pelicans.
