Chicago's Bobby Portis double-doubles in season debut
Chicago Bulls forward/center Bobby Portis scored 21 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in his season debut against the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night.
In a 119-114 loss, Portis received 24 minutes of run and did not disappoint. In addition to his double-double figures, the 22-year-old contributed four assists and three triples. Coach Fred Hoiberg said it was "important" for Portis to get on the floor and get some work in. While Nikola Mirotic (face) is out and possibly headed elsewhere, Portis could steal minutes away from both Lauri Markkanen and Robin Lopez at the power forward and center spots.
At just $3,400, Portis' 40.6 FanDuel points provided one of the biggest returns of the night and far surpassed his original projection of 12.9 FD points. In his next game, we project Portis for 7 FD points in 8.9 minutes against the Indiana Pacers.
