Isaiah Canaan, PG, Chicago Bulls

FanDuel Price: $1,800
Projected FanDuel Points: 18.3
Projected FanDuel Value: 10.19

It took two games, but it appears the Chicago Bulls have finally found a solution for replacing Rajon Rondo. Game 3 and 4 starter Jerian Grant played just five minutes in Game 4, instead ceding nearly all of his playing time to Isaiah Canaan, who came out hot and ended up starting the second half.

Canaan played 34 minutes and scored 23.9 FanDuel points for Chicago, whose offense seemed to flow much better with an additional shooter to space the floor. Canaan hit three of seven attempts from downtown, and his presence allowed Chicago to employ Jimmy Butler as the primary ball handler, which is something they appear eager to attempt to replicate in Game 5.

It is worth noting that Rondo is really pushing to play in Game 5, despite initially being ruled out. Keep a close eye on his status as we near tip. If Rondo is out, Canaan is close to a must-play as all he will need to do to reach 5 FanDuel points per $1,000 in salary is score nine FanDuel points.
