Bulls PF Nikola Mirotic (Illness) OUT for Monday

Hours before the Chicago Bulls suited up for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets, Chicago ruled out power forward Nikola Mirotic with an illness. Mirotic, who is seeking a trade out of Chicago, will likely only miss a game due to the illness.

In his absence, Lauri Markkanen and Bobby Portis will see an uptick in minutes. Both are on the DFS radar as value plays, though Markkanen is the better play. The rookie offers the upside for 30-plus fantasy points in DFS, so be sure to get some shares.
