Bam Adebayo (knee) ruled out again for Heat Friday
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) will not play Friday against the Chicago Bulls.
Adebayo did not travel with the team to Chicago following Thursday's home game versus the Orlando Magic and he will miss a third straight contest. Adebayo's next chance to play will be on Sunday versus the Magic in Orlando. Kelly Olynyk should continue to benefit from Adebayo's absence and KZ Okpala will likely draw another start Friday. Olynyk is averaging 19.0 points, 8.5 boards, 4.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 4.0 3-pointers over the last two contests.
Olynyk has a salary of $4,500 on Friday and is numberFire's third-best overall value on the seven-game slate. Our models project Olynyk for 27.1 FanDuel points versus a Bulls team that is allowing the sixth-most FanDuel points to the center position this season.
