Bobby Portis, PF, Chicago Bulls

FanDuel Price: $4,200
Projected FanDuel Points: 26.2
Projected FanDuel Value: 6.25

As we already know, the Bulls face a tall task Friday night. As 18.5-point underdogs, Chicago owns the second-lowest implied total (98.5 points) of the night at Oracle Arena. And the same situational advantage that benefits Blakeney also applies to teammate Bobby Portis, who has come off the bench behind Lauri Markkanen and Robin Lopez.

The Bulls' reserves could see more time, and our models agree. While Portis has averaged only 20.5 minutes per game over the last five, we project him to log more than 25 minutes on Friday. When he's played 24 or more minutes, the big man has been productive with an average of 32 FanDuel points, which shouldn't be all that surprising. Portis has a usage of 26.7% on the year and his 26.1% rate in his last five is fourth of all power forwards on the slate. He could go off given the circumstances of Friday's game.
