Denzel Valentine (flu) ruled out as Bulls prepare for Knicks
Chicago Bulls small forward Denzel Valentine (flu) will not play Thursday against the New York Knicks.
What It Means:
Valentine was reportedly throwing up and had to go back to the hotel. He dropped a career-high 19 points on Tuesday after missing the three previous games with an ankle injury, so hopefully he can get back out there soon. Jimmy Butler (illness) and Nikola Mirotic (illness) are also out for the Bulls, meaning Rajon Rondo will be in the rotation and could be a decent DFS dice roll.
numberFire's metrics project Rondo for 7.0 points, 6.4 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 26.7 minutes tonight versus the Knicks. He comes with a $4,400 price tag on FanDuel.
