What We Know

Rajon Rondo has been ruled out against the 76ers

Rondo has been a huge part of the Bulls offense as of late, so this will be interesting to see. Jerian Grant will get the start and definitely deserves some ownership in tournaments. Jimmy Butler will also play a lot of point guard and we will get to him later. Nikola Mirotic could also see an uptick in usage.

What We're Waiting to Know

Paul Millsap is likely to play against the Celtics

Millsap came back and played 26 minutes last game. he should see around 30 in this one and if he plays, I will avoid him. If Millsap is out, Dwight Howard is a solid option.Schroder would also pick up some usage and be interesting against Isaiah Thomas.

Sean Kilpatrick is questionable against the Magic

The Nets have a million different guards, so nobody will see extra minutes either way. The Nets have been spreading minutes out like crazy and I have no interest in anyone besides Jeremy Lin.

The "Every Lineup" Guys

Isaiah Thomas

Isaiah and the Celtics got destroyed by LeBron in crew last game and ended up playing only a portion of his regular minutes. The Celtics want the 1 seed and Thomas will see a ton of minutes here. Dennis Schroder is one of the worst PG defenders in the league and the Hawks have ranked 27th since the ASB against PG's. Thomas is the only real reliable offensive option on the C's and they will rely on him heavily in this one.

Jimmy Butler

With Rajon Rondo already confirmed out, you have to think Jimmy Butler will be playing a ton of point guard here. The 6'ers are obviously not the team to slow down Butler, who has been on fire as of late. The Bulls are in must-win mode and Butler is the only guy who can score on a consistent basis. While Butler is going to be one of the more popular guys on the slate, I will just make sure I have more than the field. You can lock Butler in for 45 with the upside for 70.
