Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (left knee soreness) is questionable to play Monday versus the Oklahoma City Thunder.
LaVine met the Bulls in Oklahoma City in hopes that he will be able to return from his five-game absence and play in the second leg of Chicago's back-to-back. Coby White or Ayo Dosunmu will relinquish their starting spot if LaVine is cleared to play, and DeMar DeRozan's usage rate will take a hit. That being said, Lonzo Ball (left knee) and Alex Caruso (right wrist) are both out for extended periods, so there's still extra opportunities available on offense.
numberFire’s models project LaVine for 33.0 minutes and 35.2 FanDuel points, and he has a $7,100 salary on Monday’s four-game slate. DeRozan has a 38.4% usage rate this season in floor situations without both LaVine and Lonzo, and he has scored over 44 FanDuel points in four of the five games LaVine missed.
