Per K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic will start at power forward with Lauri Markkanen scratched on Wednesday.
Johnson had reported that coach Fred Hoiberg could make Markkanen a late scratch, and he did. Whether he wanted to give him one more day or whatever the reason, Nikola Mirotic will start a second straight game for Chicago.
Before being inserted into the starting lineup, Mirotic was projected for 20.4 FanDuel points at a $4,800 price tag Wednesday night.
