Nikola Mirotic

Bulls' Nikola Mirotic (back) practices on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic (back) practiced on Wednesday, and will be questionable for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics.

What It Means:

Mirotic has missed two games with his back injury, but practicing today is a good sign that he will be able to return to the lineup on Thursday. His retur would likely be a downgrade to the fantasy values of both Bobby Portis and Doug McDermott.

Mirotic has had a rough season, averaging 9.0 points and 5.1 rebounds per game while shooting a career-worst .471 effective field goal percentage. His -1.4 nERD is the fourth-worst mark among Bulls players and ranks 350th in the NBA.
