Bulls starting Jerian Grant, McDermott versus Wizards
Chicago Bulls guard Jerian Grant and small forward Doug McDermott will be in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards with both Dwyane Wade (rest) and Jimmy Butler (illness) unavailable.
Grant and McDermott will join Michael Carter-Williams, Taj Gibson and Robin Lopez in the starting five for Chicago, with Rajon Rondo handling sixth-man duties. Denzel Valentine and Isaiah Canaan could also see extended run. With a plethora of cheap salaries and increased opportunity, there's a lot of DFS value to be had on Tuesday night. Grant, McDermott, Carter-Williams and Gibson seem to be the best investments, while Cristiano Felicio is also worth a look as a deeper punt play.
numberFire's models think Grant is a fantastic DFS play at his $3,600 cost on FanDuel. We project him for 11.8 points, 3.8 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.8 3-pointers in 33.2 minutes versus the Wizards. McDermott ($4,000) is also an attractive option, and we have him pegged for 15.0 points, 3.1 3-pointers and 4.5 rebounds in 38.1 minutes.
