Chicago Bulls DFS Spin
The Bulls have listed Zach LaVine (left knee) as questionable for Wednesday’s season opener against the Heat. LaVine has spoken openly about how healthy he feels, and there haven’t been any indications that he’d be limited to start the season after arthroscopic knee surgery back in May. If LaVine is unable to go, DeMar DeRozan would get a major boost in the scoring department, while guys like Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White could see more run as well. Keep a close eye on LaVine’s status leading up to Wednesday’s tip-off.
Miami Heat DFS Spin
Victor Oladipo will be sidelined for Wednesday’s tilt with the Bulls. It’s not a good sign that Dipo is set to miss time already after his history of significant injuries. In his stead, Max Strus and Gabe Vincent should see an uptick in playing time.
