Dwyane Wade Joins Jimmy Butler on the Bench for the Bulls Against the Warriors

The Chicago Bulls will now be without their top-two scorers when they take on the Golden State Warriors in Oakland on Wednesday evening. Fresh off news that Jimmy Butler would miss the game due to a heel injury, comes this news. 

Dwyane Wade, dealing with an undisclosed illness, will also be sitting out against the two-time reigning Western Conference champions on Wednesday evening. This means Paul Zipser will start in his stead. 

It's also a clear indication that Michael Carter-Williams will continue to play a huge scoring role in the lineup. As mentioned in our earlier report on the Butler news, MCW is averaging 22.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists in the two games that the Bulls have been without their leading scorer. 

From a DFS perspective, look for both Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry to take advantage of these two players being absent from action on Wednesday night. Though, that could be limited to just how quickly this one becomes a blowout.
