4 years agoChicago Bulls power forward Lauri Markkanen, point guards Tomas Satoransky and Ryan Arcidiacono, and small forward Chandler Hutchison (COVID-19 protocols) have all been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Mavericks due to testing for the league's health and safety protocols. The absence will mark the third straight game that the quartet will be unavailable, pushing Otto Porter into a short-term season-long asset, as well as DFS play, with Coby White and Zach LaVine likely to see significant minutes allotments due to the decreased backcourt depth. With Dallas yielding the fourth-lowest PPG average (103.8) to begin the year, balancing Bulls players upside with their matchup will be paramount. The next chance that Markkanen and Co. have at taking the floor is Tuesday against the Blazers.--Jesse Borek
