Coby White White propels Bulls to fourth straight victory
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 4:33 PM
Coby White led the Bulls to a 114-111 win over the Celtics on Saturday, amassing 22 points (6-of-16 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), one rebound and seven assists over 32 minutes.
Analysis: White paced Chicago's offense throughout the contest ??" knocking down five of their 21 three-pointers on the night ??" but opted to dish to teammate Kevin Huerter in the corner for a go-ahead trey with 0.2 seconds left in regulation. The 25-year-old scoring guard has been scorching hot over the past week, leading Chicago to four straight wins, averaging 23.8 points during that span. The Bulls are in line for a busy four-game week that includes showdowns against the Lakers and Pacers before a double dip against the Heat. |

Jalen Smith Smith falls just shy of double-double in victory
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 4:30 PM
Jalen Smith contributed 14 points (6-of-10 FGs) and nine rebounds over 27 minutes in Saturday's win over the Celtics.
Analysis: It doesn't show up from a fantasy perspective, but Smith played a pivotal role from a defensive and rebounding standpoint in the second half, helping Chicago pull out a narrow victory. The 25-year-old big man fell one rebound shy of a double-double and also knocked down a pair of three-pointers. He's graded out as a borderline top-100 overall fantasy contributor over the past two weeks, averaging 13.3 points and 9.1 boards over his last seven games. |

Patrick Williams Patrick Williams (ankle) available Saturday
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 6:17 AM
Patrick Williams (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Williams was initially listed as probable with an ankle injury, so his availability isn't much of a surprise. He returned from a two-game absence Thursday with five points and three rebounds in 16 minutes off the bench in the win over the Timberwolves. Williams isn't worth rostering in most fantasy leagues. |

Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 6:13 AM
Josh Giddey (hamstring) is available for Saturday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Giddey was initially listed as probable, so his availability doesn't come as much of a surprise. The 23-year-old guard returned from a hamstring injury and came off the bench, playing 26 minutes in Thursday's win over the Timberwolves. The Bulls could continue to deploy Giddey this way until he feels 100 percent. |

Tre Jones Tre Jones (hamstring) out at least two weeks
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 11:42 AM
Chicago Bulls
Tre Jones (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Analysis: Jones was added to the injury report as doubtful earlier, but he is now expected to be sidelined until at least Feb. 6 with a left hamstring strain. Ayo Dosunmu and Kevin Huerter should see a bump in minutes off the bench, but Josh Giddey and Coby White should fill most of the backcourt minutes. |

Coby White Coby White scores team-high 22 points vs. Wolves
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 5:56 PM
Coby White led the Bulls with 22 points (6-of-16 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), four rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in a 120-115 win over the Timberwolves on Thursday.
Analysis: It has been an underwhelming season for White, and while he didn't shoot as efficiently in this game, it was his third straight with at least 20 point. During that time, he's averaging 24.3 points, 4.3 assists and 5.3 three-pointers per game. He's starting to figure things out, and he'll look to stay hot in their next game against the Celtics on Saturday. |

Josh Giddey Josh Giddey turns in 21/6/5/2 line in return
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 5:45 PM
Josh Giddey returned to the lineup on Thursday and finished with 21 points (7-of-13 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), six rebounds, five assists and two steals against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Giddey missed Chicago's last 11 games with a hamstring injury, but he returned to the lineup for this game. However, he was on a minutes restriction, so he came off the bench and only played 26 minutes. That meant no changes to the Bulls' starting lineup in this game, but that won't hold for long. Jalen Smith, who scored 17 points in this game, is the likely candidate to head back to the bench when that happens. For now, it was a strong first game back for Giddey. |

Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 12:37 PM
K.C. Johnson
Josh Giddey (hamstring) is available for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: After an 11-game absence, Giddey is back for the Bulls. He'll be restricted to 24 minutes in his first game back, which preserves some of Tre Jones' streaming value. For those who have been rostering Jones, he's worth holding onto until Giddey is allowed to play starters' minutes. |

Josh Giddey (hamstring) has been upgraded to probable for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Giddey has missed the last 11 games with a hamstring strain, with the Bulls going 6-5 in his absence. The 23-year-old has been tremendous this season, averaging almost a triple-double. His return would likely push Tre Jones back to the bench and cut into Ayo Dosunmu's usage. |

Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 4:45 PM
Coby White had 24 points (8-of-15 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), one rebound, six assists, one steal, one block and five three-pointers against the Clippers on Tuesday.
Analysis: White's scoring has been hit or miss recently as he has multiple games this month without even reaching double figures. On Tuesday, the 25-year-old point guard was mostly hitting with 24 points on 15 field goal attempts. White got very hot from behind the three-point line with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, sinking four threes in a row in 1:07 of game-time. He's provided ninth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Bulls have two more games this week, against the Timberwolves and Celtics. |

Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 4:37 PM
Nikola Vu?evi? had 19 points (8-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer in Tuesday's win over the Clippers.
Analysis: Vu?evi? sealed the victory for the Bulls with an incredible sequence of plays with about 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. The 35-year-old center ran the length of the floor and had a dunk in transition, had a block on the next defensive possession and then hit a three-pointer to put Chicago up 110-89. Vu?evi? has provided first-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Bulls have two more games this week, including matchups with the Timberwolves and Celtics. |
