The Bulls continue to be a fantasy-friendly opponent for NBA DFS. They have played at the second-fastest pace (104.39) in the league, while also recording the eighth-worst defensive rating (115.4). The Pelicans have also struggled on the defensive end, posting the third-worst defensive rating (117.7).
The Bulls could be thin at guard with G Coby White (neck) and G Ayo Dosunmu (calf) both listed as questionable. White has been one of their top scorers, averaging 18.4 points and 3.1 three-pointers per game. The Pelicans will continue to play without F Brandon Ingram (ankle) and F Herbert Jones (shoulder).

Suns vs. Hawks
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
How to Watch: NBA TV
The Hawks check in right behind the Bulls, playing at the third-fastest pace in the league (104.35). The Suns (115.1) have the ninth-worst defensive rating in the league, while the Hawks are nipping at their heels with the 10th-worst defensive rating (114.3). While the Suns have struggled on the defensive end, they have the 10th-best offensive rating (113.7).
The Hawks will once again be without F Jalen Johnson (shoulder), who will be sidelined for the fifth time over their last six games. To complicate matters, Hawks G Trae Young (Achilles/illness) and Hawks G Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) are listed as questionable. The Suns will also be shorthanded with C Jusuf Nurkic (illness) out, so Mason Plumlee will start at center.

Thunder C Isaiah Hartenstein vs. 76ers: 3.5 Assists — More
Thunder C Isaiah Hartenstein is averaging 4.2 assists per game this season. In terms of this projection, Hartenstein has registered at least four assists in seven of his last nine games. During that span, he averaged 5.0 assists per game. The Thunder have played at the seventh-fastest pace (100.49) in the league, which should leave Hartenstein with plenty of opportunities to surpass this projection.
Pacers G/F Andrew Nembhard vs. Cavs: 13.5 Points — More
Pacers G Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for this matchup. He played just 18 minutes against the Cavaliers on Sunday because of his injury, which contributed to Pacers G Andrew Nembhard scoring 19 points across 28 minutes. With added shot attempts likely coming his way Tuesday, Nembhard has a favorable opportunity to surpass this projection.
Nuggets G Russell Westbrook vs. Mavericks: 12.5 Rebs+Asts — More
Nuggets G Russell Westbrook will be facing the Mavericks for the second time in as many games. When these two teams faced off Sunday, Westbrook logged 10 rebounds and seven assists. He has combined for at least 13 rebounds and assists in nine straight games. While Nuggets G Aaron Gordon is back, he played just 18 minutes in his return from injury Sunday. He will likely be kept under 30 minutes Tuesday, so Westbrook should receive ample opportunities to surpass this projection.
