Bulls' Denzel Valentine (knee) to be game-time decision on Saturday
Chicago Bulls forward Denzel Valentine went through shootaround on Saturday but is a game-time decision, per The Athletic's Darnell Mayberry.
What It Means:
Valentine hasn't practiced since Thursday's game due to pain in his knee. Coach Fred Hoiberg did say that he's still experiencing some pain which could force him to hold Valentine out on Saturday. Justin Holiday would probably get even more minutes in a thin Bulls backcourt.
At $5,200, Valentine is projected for 18.1 FanDuel points in 28.5 minutes against the San Antonio Spurs.
