LaVine is coming off two below-average fantasy performances, putting up 33.5 and 34.4 FanDuel Fantasy Points against the Orlando Magic and Portland Trail Blazers, respectively. The former All-Star has been better on the road than at home this season, averaging 27.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.4 assists as the visitor, compared to 22.7, 4.3, and 4.2 at home.
Coby White could see increased usage if LaVine's back becomes an issue against the Raps. White has played above-average minutes in 10 of his past 11 outings, averaging 14.8 points per game over that stretch.
The Bulls are coming off consecutive victories but have split their previous ten outings, going 5-5. They enter tonight's contest as +3.5 underdogs, per the line info from FanDuel Sportsbook.
