Nikola Mirotic explodes for 24 points Monday in Chicago
Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic went off for 24 points on 9-for-14 shooting Monday, to go with 8 rebounds and 1 block over 32 minutes in a 108-85 win over the Boston Celtics.
What It Means:
It was easily the Bulls' best win of the season, and it was nice to see Mirotic come out firing in just his third game back from injury. Lauri Markkanen was a late scratch, which helped Mirotic's production, but when the rookie comes back it will once again muddy the power forward rotation in Chicago.
Our early models for Wednesday assume Markkanen will play, so we project Mirotic for just 10.5 FanDuel points at a cost of $4,500.
