With Bobby Portis (suspension) and Nikola Mirotic (face) both out for a while, Lauri Markkanen will see some great opportunity. The rookie played well in his NBA debut. He saw 33 minutes and scored 17 points. He also grabbed three rebounds and had a block. He could be a bright spot for this Bulls team that is rebuilding.

Fantasy Impact:

Markkanen looked good enough to add to watch lists, but he should only be owned in deeper leagues right now. His true value will be in DFS to start the season. With the Bulls shorthanded at power forward, Markkanen should see plenty of minutes.
