Chicago Bulls power forward Lauri Markkanen is projected for 15.8 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.9 threes in 31.9 minutes Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs.
Forced into a starting role in his rookie debut, Markkanen performed admirably given the opponent and situation. In a road game against the Toronto Raptors, he accounted for 17 points, eight boards and two made threes in 33-plus minutes.
Basically, our models like him to replicate Thursday's performance. At $6,400, they have Markkanen down for 29.7 FanDuel points and a return of 4.64x value in the matchup.
