Jahlil Okafor (knee) won't play as 76ers battle Bulls

Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor (knee soreness) will not play against the Chicago Bulls on Friday night.

What It Means:

Okafor has been bothered by soreness in his right knee for the better part of the last 12 months, so this could be an extended absence. Richaun Holmes is a must-start fantasy play with Okafor out of the lineup. Dario Saric could also get a little run at the five, but Shawn Long will be Holmes' primary backup.

numberFire's algorithms project Holmes for 14.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.9 blocks across 29.1 minutes of action.
