Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu, Coby White good to go Sunday vs. ATL
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 8:30 AM
K.C. Johnson
According to Bulls insider K.C. Johnson, Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) and Coby White (ankle) are available for Sunday's matchup with the Hawks.
Analysis: The Bulls will also have Jalen Smith (quad) as the team brings in a fully healthy roster for just the second time this season. Dosunmu could see some additional run after logging only 14 minutes in his return from a three-game absence on Friday, and White should see his usual allotment of minutes. Smith is likely in line for 10-15 minutes off the bench backing up Nikola Vucevic with Zach Collins. |

NBA Injury Report
Jalen Smith (quad) is probable for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Smith played 15 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over the Cavaliers, and he'll be in line for a similar workload if he can play on Wednesday. If he can't go, the available minutes will likely be absorbed by Nikola Vu?evi? and Zach Collins. |

Sat, Dec 20, 2025, 11:14 AM
Coby White (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: White is dealing with left ankle soreness. The 25-year-old point guard's status for Sunday's game against the Hawks is up in the air given his questionable listing. If he can't go, Josh Giddey would see a boost in fantasy value. |

Sat, Dec 20, 2025, 11:09 AM
Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is probable for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Dosunmu returned from a three-game absence due to injuries on both of his thumbs Friday against the Cavaliers. The 25-year-old point guard had just eight points in 14 minutes. He could be in line for more minutes against the Hawks Sunday. |

Tre Jones Tre Jones drops 16 points, six assists vs. CLE
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 4:15 PM
Tre Jones amassed 16 points (5-of-7 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), one rebound, six assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Friday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Despite being under a limit of 24 minutes, Jones still managed to provide solid value off the bench. Over the last two weeks, he has been an eighth-round player in nine-cat formats. The presence of Josh Giddey and Coby White in the rotation makes Jones a challenging player to trust full-time in most fantasy leagues, but he's an automatic streamer when one of those two is unavailable. |

Josh Giddey Josh Giddey records 17 points, seven assists
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 4:14 PM
Josh Giddey tallied 17 points (7-of-15 FGs), six rebounds, seven assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Friday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: While Giddey missed out on recording a triple-double in consecutive games for the first time since early November, fantasy managers will take the final stat line he offered in Cleveland. For the season, he has provided second-round value in 12-team, eight-cat formats. With Coby White (13/6/9 with one three-pointer) being mentioned in trade rumors recently, there's a chance that Giddey's fantasy value receives a boost later this season. The Bulls visit the Hawks on Sunday to end Week 9. |

Nikola Vucevic Nikola Vu?evi? posts 24/15/2/1/2 line vs. Cavs
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 4:13 PM
Nikola Vu?evi? produced 24 points (11-of-20 FGs), 15 rebounds, two assists, one steal, two blocks and two three-pointers in Friday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Vu?evi? came up big for the Bulls during the fourth quarter, shooting 5-of-8 from the field and scoring 11 of his 24 points. He finished with his 11th double-double of the season and first in just over two weeks, with the 15 rebounds being the most in a game for Vu?evi? since October 27 (17 vs. Atlanta). A sixth-round player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks, the Bulls' center has pushed his season-long value closer to his Yahoo! ADP (52). The Bulls end Week 9 with a game against the Hawks on Sunday. |

Tre Jones Tre Jones (hamstring) available Friday vs. CLE
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 12:09 PM
NBA Injury Report
Tre Jones (hamstring) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Jones is good to go after being upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Friday. With Chicago's perimeter rotation intact since Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is available, Jones offers a limited fantasy ceiling. Also, he will be limited to 24 minutes on Friday. |
|
Zach Collins Zach Collins (wrist) available Friday vs. CLE
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 12:05 PM
NBA Injury Report
Zach Collins (wrist) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Collins was initially probable for Friday's game, so the status upgrade was expected. With Jalen Smith also in the Bulls' rotation, neither is likely to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball. |
|
Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) available Friday vs. Cleveland
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 12:03 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Dosunmu is back after missing three games due to injuries to both thumbs. His return will likely result in fewer minutes for Kevin Huerter, who is a deep-league option at best when the Bulls are close to full strength. Dalen Terry may fall out of the rotation entirely, even with Dosunmu limited to 24 minutes. |
|
Tre Jones Tre Jones (hamstring) upgraded to probable Friday
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 6:50 AM
Tre Jones (hamstring) is probable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Good news for Jones as he's been upgraded to probable ahead of the Bulls matchup with the Cavaliers on Friday. The 25-year-old point guard had 11 points and 11 assists in the win over the Cavaliers on Wednesday. Even with Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) expected back, Jones should see 20-25 minutes off the bench and he's been productive lately. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) upgraded to probable Friday
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 6:47 AM
Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is probable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Good news for fantasy managers with Dosunmu as the 25-year-old point guard has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers. Dosunmu is dealing with injuries to both of his thumbs, which has caused him to miss the last three games. Kevin Huerter will likely see fewer minutes with Dosunmu expected back. |

Tre Jones Tre Jones (hamstring) questionable Friday vs. CLE
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 10:40 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tre Jones (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Jones, who recorded his second double-double of the season in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers, is dealing with left hamstring tightness. If he can't play and the Bulls remain without Ayo Dosunmu, there may be a few more minutes for Dalen Terry or Jevon Carter. Neither player is worth streaming in that scenario. |
|
Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) questionable Friday vs. CLE
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 10:35 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Dosunmu has missed Chicago's last three games as he recovers from injuries to both thumbs. Kevin Huerter played 26 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers, and he would be in line for a similar workload if Dosunmu remains out. |
|
Zach Collins Zach Collins (wrist) probable Friday vs. Cleveland
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 10:33 AM
NBA Injury Report
Zach Collins (wrist) is probable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Collins most recently played 16 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers. The probable tag suggests he will play on Friday, but his playing time will be limited with Nikola Vu?evi? in the starting lineup. |

Nikola Vucevic Nikola Vu?evi? posts 20/9/4/2/1 line vs. Cleveland
Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 4:26 PM
Nikola Vu?evi? recorded 20 points (9-of-14 FGs), nine rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Well, give Vooch credit for his âfinishing kick.â The veteran center shot 6-of-9 from the field in the fourth quarter, which enabled him to record his first 20-point game since December 1. Over the past two weeks, he has averaged 12.4 points per game, with the decreased scoring weighing down Vu?evi?'s fantasy value. That said, his season-long value remains within the top-75 in eight-cat formats. Fantasy managers should not be too concerned, especially in the aftermath of his performance against the Cavaliers. |

Tre Jones Tre Jones dishes out 11 assists vs. Cleveland
Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 4:26 PM
Tre Jones amassed 11 points (5-of-7 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), one rebound, 11 assists and three steals in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Wednesday's performance was a reminder that Jones doesn't necessarily need to start to provide solid fantasy value. He finished with his second double-double of the season, matching his season-high in the assist category. Of course, it should be noted that Chicago did not have Ayo Dosunmu (thumb), which freed up additional minutes on the perimeter. Jones has played at least 24 minutes in each of his last eight appearances, so playing time has not been a significant issue in recent games. |

Coby White Coby White drops team-high 25 points vs. Cleveland
Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 4:25 PM
Coby White tallied 25 points (8-of-13 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Since making his season debut on November 16, White has failed to score at least 20 points on just one occasion. While the turnovers have been somewhat problematic, he's closing in on top-100 per-game value in eight-cat formats. The good news for those who have White rostered is that the Bulls play twice more in Week 9 without a back-to-back, so availability should not be an issue. |

Josh Giddey Josh Giddey records 23/11/11/2/1 line vs. Cavs
Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 4:25 PM
Josh Giddey finished Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers with 23 points (8-of-18 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, 11 assists, two steals, one block and five three-pointers.
Analysis: Giddey finished Wednesday's victory with his 13th triple-double since joining the Bulls, moving to within two of Scottie Pippen for second place on the franchise's all-time list. His stat line included a season-high five three-pointers, and the Bulls guard entered Wednesday shooting a career-high 39.8 percent from beyond the arc. While three-point percentage isn't a scoring category in most fantasy leagues, Giddey's improved proficiency has made him a better fantasy option than he's been in years past. |
