Jalen Smith

CHI Power Forward #7

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jalen Smith (left knee effusion) is probable for Saturday’s game against the Hawks.

Smith is again listed as probable before a game, so fantasy managers should expect to see him on the court. However, the minutes won’t be enough to make him fantasy-relevant. Leave Smith on the waiver wire.
Zach LaVine

CHI Shooting Guard #8

Zach LaVine (right adductor strain) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Hawks.

LaVine has missed Chicago’s last three games, but the questionable tag suggests he’s progressing. Ayo Dosunmu has filled the void in the starting lineup and will continue to do so as long as LaVine is sidelined. Dosunmu is worth streaming in deep leagues, especially on a four-game night.
Torrey Craig

CHI Small Forward #13

Torrey Craig (illness) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Hawks.

Craig was a late scratch on Thursday, with the Bulls not announcing his status until the third quarter. His potential absence on Saturday will not significantly impact fantasy basketball, but it may ensure Matas Buzelis will play rotation minutes. There’s no need to stream Buzelis.
Torrey Craig

CHI Small Forward #13

Torrey Craig never entered Thursday’s loss to the Timberwolves due to an illness.

Absent from the initial injury report, the team officially ruled out Craig during the third quarter of Thursday’s game. His absence would not impact fantasy basketball, even with the Bulls again playing without the injured Zach LaVine.
Josh Giddey

CHI Shooting Guard #3

Josh Giddey played 30 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Timberwolves, scoring nine points (3-of-12 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs) with six rebounds, 13 assists, and one 3-pointer.

While Giddey had a rough night shooting the basketball, fantasy managers will take the rebounds and assists. The 13 assists were a season-high for the Bulls guard, who finished one point shy of his third double-double. The limited defensive production and low percentages limit Giddey’s fantasy value, but his place within the rotation makes him worth holding onto in standard leagues.
Nikola Vucevic

CHI Center #9

Nikola Vucevic shot 11-of-15 from the field and 0-of-2 from the foul line in Thursday’s loss to the Timberwolves, finishing with 25 points, five rebounds, two assists, one block, and three 3-pointers in 30 minutes.

Despite nearly ending up on the wrong end of an Anthony Edwards poster dunk (Edwards was called for an offensive foul), Vucevic had another productive night as a scorer. Leading the Bulls with 25 points, he shot the ball well in Thursday’s defeat. However, the limited rebound production (somewhat expected with Rudy Gobert on the other side) was disappointing, with Vucevic’s five boards being the fewest he’s had in a game this season. Chicago visits Atlanta on Saturday to end its Week 3 slate.
Coby White

CHI Point Guard #0

Coby White recorded a stat line of 24 points (9-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight assists, and four 3-pointers in 34 minutes in Thursday’s loss to Minnesota.

White bounced back after a brutal shooting night in Dallas on Wednesday, a game in which he shot 3-of-13 from the field. The Bulls guard was far more accurate on Thursday, notching his fifth 20-point game of the season. With Zach LaVine (adductor) sidelined, there’s even more room for White to impact the action offensively. The Bulls finish their Week 3 slate in Atlanta on Saturday.
Zach LaVine

CHI Shooting Guard #8

Zach LaVine (right adductor strain) is out for Thursday’s game against Minnesota.

LaVine will miss a third straight game with a strained right adductor. Ayo Dosunmu will remain in the starting lineup, with fellow starter Coby White having more opportunities to score himself. Also, rookie Matas Buzelis could play a few more minutes off the bench, but he isn’t worth streaming.
Zach LaVine

CHI Shooting Guard #8

Zach LaVine (right adductor strain) is doubtful for Thursday’s matchup with the Timberwolves.

LaVine’s streak of absences will likely extend to three games Thursday which means Ayo Dosunmu should continue to run with the first unit. More work should be available for Coby White as well.
Ayo Dosunmu

CHI Point Guard #11

Ayo Dosunmu shot 2-of-13 from the field in Wednesday’s loss to the Mavericks, recording a stat line of six points, five rebounds, four assists, and two 3-pointers in 29 minutes.

After shining in Monday’s loss to the Jazz, Dosunmu struggled mightily in Dallas. Part of the problem was the shot profile, with the Bulls guard attempting 10 of his 13 shots from beyond the arc. Dosunmu can break down defenses off the dribble, but that did not happen on Wednesday. He’ll look to bounce back when the Bulls host Minnesota on Thursday. Dosunmu is worth streaming if LaVine remains out.
