On Tuesday, Chicago Bulls executive vice president John Paxson laid out a few changes for the team going forward. In a nutshell, it's a youth movement in Chicago. As one of two key changes to the starting lineup, 25-year-old David Nwaba will replace 28-year-old Justin Holiday as the team's starting small forward "for a significant time."

This season, Holiday has started all but one game while Nwaba's been limited to just 3 starts, 45 games and 21.5 minutes per game this season. The last time Nwaba started a game was in early November, and all three of his starts took place in the absence of Zach LaVine. In those starts, though, Nwaba proved that he can be relevant in daily fantasy. Over 28.1 minutes a game, he yielded an average of 26.7 FanDuel points with solid production in just about all areas.

Nwaba is at the minimum on FanDuel tonight, so it won't take much time for him to pay that off. He's averaging 0.79 FanDuel points per minute and when playing at least 30 minutes, he averages 27.4 FanDuel points per game. He'll be a highly-owned commodity but one worth rostering in cash games.
