Shaquille Harrison, SG, Chicago Bulls

FanDuel Price: $3,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 20.3
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.65

Zach LaVine sat out on Sunday with a knee injury and will not play on Tuesday as well for the Chicago Bulls. His absence opens up plenty of minutes in the Bulls' backcourt as he is averaging over 34.5 minutes per game.

While multiple players will be used to fill the void, Shaquille Harrison saw the most significant bump in playing time on Sunday, with LaVine out, eclipsing the 30 minute mark for the first time this season. He typically averages 22 minutes a night. In the game, Harrison finished with a solid line of 11 points, 2 rebounds, and 7 assists, for 22.9 FanDuel points -- not bad for a player who cost the minimum.

On Tuesday, Harrison’s salary has increased by just $100, and his outlook against the Los Angeles Lakers is just as bright. The Lakers appear to have given up since the All-Star break, ranking 28th in the NBA in defensive rating (114.3) and are allowing over 117 points per game in their last nine contests. That all suggests a shootout between the Bulls and Lakers on Tuesday, leaving Harrison a solid low-priced option to insert into your lineups tonight.
