DraftKings. This should be a nice spot for Coby White, who has cleared this line in five of seven games. The Bulls will be without both Ayo Donsunmu and Kevin Huerter in the backcourt, which should bump White’s usage even more. The Hornets struggle defensively on the perimeter, and White should benefit both as a pick and roll imitator, and on the fastbreak.

Hornets rookie Sion James should see decent minutes Friday against a Bulls team that plays at the second-fastest pace. With LaMelo Ball, Collin Sexton and others out for Charlotte, I bet James to score at least seven points. On Nov. 28 vs. Chicago, James scored nine points in 20 minutes.

Kon Knueppel is averaging 5.5 rebounds per game for the season. He should play a lot Friday with LaMelo Ball, Collin Sexton and Tre Mann all out. Ball has missed eight games this season and Knueppel recorded at least five rebounds in six of them. The two times that he didn’t, he had four rebounds each against two good rebounding teams in the Nuggets and Thunder. The same can’t be said for the Bulls, who have allowed the sixth-most rebounds per game in the league. When he played the Bulls a couple of weeks ago, he finished with five rebounds over 32 minutes. Despite the juice, I like this over.
