Denzel Valentine

Denzel Valentine logged 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-8 3PT), three rebounds, and two assists in Wednesday's win over the Pelicans.

Fantasy Impact

With Lauri Markkanen and Wendell Carter Jr. both out of the lineup, Valentine has started the last three games as the Bulls are trotting out a small-ball starting five. He's seen a boost in minutes over his last five games and has turned that increased opportunity into 14.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.0 steals per game. That type of production makes him for a value DFS play with a sturdy floor as long as Markkanen and Carter remain sidelined.

Denzel Valentine recorded 20 points (8-17 FG, 4-10 3PT), four assists, three rebounds, and one steal in Saturday's win in Orlando.

Fantasy Impact

With Lauri Markkanen out with a shoulder injury, Valentine saw a season-high in minutes and points in Saturday's win. His shooting clips this season are pretty in-line with his career averages but he's playing just 18.3 minutes per game. His usage peaked in 2017-2018 when he was seeing 27.2 minutes per game. Unfortunately, he was only able to average 10.2 points per game with that opportunity though. He'll make for a decent budget DFS play in games where he's starting, but he isn't worth a pickup in any season-long formats.

Denzel Valentine racked up 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3PT), four rebounds, and three assists in a Sunday night loss to the Clippers.

Fantasy Impact

Valentine is averaging just 18.4 points so far this season and that's with the Bulls dealing with a slew of injuries. The fourth-year guard out of Michigan State probably won't end up in a position where you'll be relying on him in and season-long formats this season.

Denzel Valentine recorded 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3PT, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, and two steals in Friday's 126-96 loss to the Bucks.

Fantasy Impact

After not seeing any action for the season's first three games, Valentine now has 28 points over his last three. The veteran guard is shooting an insane 6-of-9 from deep, a number that will assuredly fall back to earth soon. Don't expect too much from the former 14th-overall pick who is just averaging 16 minutes per game.

Denzel Valentine registered three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3PT), four rebounds, one assist, and one steal in Thursday's loss to the Wizards.

Fantasy Impact

Valentine has only seen action in two games so far this season, scoring 11 and three points and shooting 5-of-8. He's unlikely to find much playing time on this roster and shouldn't be considered for anything outside of longshot DFS plays.
