Chicago Bulls center Robin Lopez and Toronto Raptors forward/center Serge Ibaka have been suspended for one game for throwing punches at each other during Tuesday night's contest.
It's a little surprising that the punishment was only one game. Lopez will miss tonight's contest against the Detroit Pistons, opening up a starting opportunity for Joffrey Lauvergne. Look for Nikola Mirotic and Bobby Portis to also benefit. On Toronto's side of things, Ibaka will sit out Thursday versus the Miami Heat, creating more minutes for Jonas Valanciunas and Patrick Patterson.
With a projection of 25.6 fantasy points (FP) at a $4,000 cost on FanDuel, numberFire's models believe Portis is the best DFS value play of the night. Lauvergne (21.1 FP, $3,500) and Mirotic (26.3 FP, $4,400) round out the top-three budget options.
