Orlando Magic vs Chicago Bulls Obvious Starts
Paolo Banchero-PF ($8,300 DK/ $8,800 FD)
The Duke product averages 22.8 points and 6.9 rebounds a game. However, against a depleted Bulls team, he going to post higher numbers tonight. While the questionable status is for players on the Bulls backcourt, regardless, you have to like the frontcourt matchups. At 41.9 FPPG, you can’t go wrong with Banchero!
Franz Wagner– SF ($7,200 DK/$8,100 FD)
The German native is coming off of an impressive performance. Against a team that gives up the 19th most fantasy points to his position, he’ll likely have an encore tonight! Against the San Antonio Spurs, he scored 34 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists on three of four shooting from beyond the arc. He’s averaging 36.8 FPPG so even if he isn’t able to match his previous effort, he’ll still have a great showing for the Orlando Magic.
Orlando Magic vs Chicago Bulls Start ‘Em
Wendell Carter Jr.– C ($5,400 DK/$ 5,900 FD)
Another Duke product, go figure! Regardless of his attending college, he is having a solid year for fantasy players. But because he is facing 18th-ranked opponents against the center position in fantasy, expect him to have an even larger night. As is, he contributes 24.2 FPPG, so you know this is the low-end production that you will see from him tonight.
Ayo Dosunmu– PG/SG ($5,600 DK/$6,200 FD)
The Illinois product is on a surge lately. Over the last 10 days, he is averaging 26.4 FPPG. Although Alex Caruso and Coby White are probable to play, Dosunmu will still have a large role tonight. Especially with one of those two teammates picks up a minor tweak, he can see his minutes stay above 30 for the time being.
Sit ‘Em
DeMar DeRozan- SF/PF ($7,900 DK/$8,400 FD
Although he can fill a stat sheet, the matchup will be a little tougher against the Orlando Magic. Additionally, the home side gives up the least amount of fantasy points to his position. He often operates as the entirety of the offense, and defenses know to focus on him. Particularly against a good defensive unit with size in the Magic, don’t be surprised if he has an off game tonight.
Orlando Magic vs Chicago Bulls Lock of the Day
Jalen Suggs– PG/SG ($4,700 DK/$5,700 FD)
The former number-five overall pick out of Gonzaga is coming off a good production night. He scored 17 points against the Spurs, including going three for six from three-point range. Additionally, over the past 10 days, he averages 24.4 FPPG. Since they’re playing the Bulls, it’s easy to see him having back-to-back good games for the Orlando Magic.
