Coby White Coby White has 22 points in return Friday
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 6:34 PM
Coby White had 22 points (6-of-14 FGs, 9-of-12 FTs), three rebounds, six assists and one three-pointer against the Pacers on Friday.
Analysis: White returned after missing three games with a calf injury. The 25-year-old point guard played just 26 minutes due to a minutes restriction, but still led the Bulls is points and field goal attempts. The Bulls close out Week 7 with a matchup against the Warriors on Sunday and White should see more minutes then. |

Dalen Terry Dalen Terry (calf) available vs. Idnaiana
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 12:46 PM
NBA Injury Report
Dalen Terry (calf) is available to play the Pacers on Friday.
Analysis: Terry was initially listed as probable, so his availability isn't surprising. With Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) and Tre Jones (ankle) sidelined and Coby White (calf) on a minutes restriction, Terry could end up playing a large role. However, that doesn't make him an appealing streamer outside of deep formats. |

Patrick Williams Patrick Williams (wrist) available vs. Indiana
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 12:44 PM
NBA Injury Report
Patrick Williams (wrist) is available to play against the Pacers.
Analysis: As expected, Williams will suit up against Indiana. Chicago is dealing with plenty of injuries, which could open the door for a few extra minutes for Williams, though he hasn't been able to produce much in the box score this season. |

Isaac Okoro Isaac Okoro (back) remains out Friday vs. Pacers
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 12:32 PM
Isaac Okoro (back) is out for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Okoro is set to miss his seventh consecutive game with a back injury. With Ayo Dosunmu also out, expect the Bulls to lean on Coby White. Julian Phillips could also see additional minutes off the bench, but isn't worth streaming. |

Jalen Smith Jalen Smith (hamstring) ruled out vs. Indiana
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 12:29 PM
K.C. Johnson
Jalen Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out against the Pacers on Friday.
Analysis: This will be a fourth straight absence for Smith, which means the runway is clear for Zach Collins (wrist) to fill the backup center minutes in his season debut. Lachlan Olbrich will be the third option with Smith unavailable. |
|
Zach Collins Zach Collins (wrist) available for debut Friday
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 12:27 PM
Zach Collins (wrist) is available for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Collins is set to make his season debut after dealing with a wrist injury up to this point in the season. The 28-year-old could immediately step into the backup center job behind Nikola Vu?evi?, but isn't worth rostering in most fantasy leagues. |

Tre Jones Tre Jones (ankle) ruled out vs. Indiana on Friday
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 12:27 PM
K.C. Johnson
Tre Jones (ankle) has been ruled out against the Pacers on Friday
Analysis: Jones will miss a second straight game, and with Ayo Dosunmu also sidelined, Chicago will be thin at guard. Coby White will be available on a minutes restriction, which means Dalen Terry and Jevon Carter should see a bump in minutes. |
|
Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) out Friday vs. Pacers
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 12:23 PM
Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is out for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Dosunmu played 36 minutes while replacing Coby White in the starting lineup Wednesday, but he'll sit out with White returning to the starting lineup against the Pacers on Friday. Dosunmu was ruled out with a sprained right thumb, while White was cleared after he was initially listed as questionable with a calf injury. |
|
Coby White Coby White (calf) available vs. Indiana
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 12:21 PM
K.C. Johnson
Coby White (calf) is available to play against the Pacers on Friday.
Analysis: White will be back after a three-game absence, but he will be limited to around 24 minutes. It wouldn't be surprising if he came off the bench, though with Ayo Dosunmu and Tre Jones both out, he could end up starting. Dalen Terry and Jevon Carter should play increased roles. |
|
Coby White Coby White (calf) questionable Friday vs. Indiana
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 2:15 PM
NBA Injury Report
Coby White (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: White said on Wednesday that he hopes to be available for Friday's game, but he was more certain about his chances of playing on Sunday against the Warriors. Ayo Dosunmu played 36 minutes as his replacement in the starting lineup on Wednesday and would be in line for a similar workload on Friday. Due to a sprained thumb, Dosunmu is also questionable for Friday. |
|
Patrick Williams Patrick Williams, Dalen Terry probable Friday
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 2:09 PM
NBA Injury Report
Patrick Williams (wrist) and Dalen Terry (calf) are probable for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Williams and Terry are on track to play Friday night, which is good news for a Bulls squad that has struggled with injuries recently. That said, neither has been consistent enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues. Feel free to leave Williams and Terry on the waiver wire. |

Jalen Smith Jalen Smith (hamstring) doubtful Friday vs. IND
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 2:05 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Smith (hamstring) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Smith is on track to miss a fourth consecutive game with a strained left hamstring. Who assumes the backup center minutes depends on the availability of Zach Collins (wrist), who is questionable. If he can't make his season debut, Lachlan Olbrich will once again take on the responsibility of backing up Nikola Vu?evi?. |
|
Isaac Okoro Isaac Okoro (back) doubtful Friday vs. Indiana
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 2:01 PM
NBA Injury Report
Isaac Okoro (back) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Okoro has missed Chicago's last six games, and the doubtful tag suggests he'll miss a seventh on Friday. His availability does not affect fantasy basketball, but it does impact the minutes available to Ayo Dosunmu and Julian Phillips. While Dosunmu should already be rostered in some 12-team leagues, Phillips is not productive enough to merit streaming. |
|
Tre Jones Tre Jones (ankle) doubtful Friday vs. Indiana
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 1:57 PM
NBA Injury Report
Tre Jones (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Jones did not play in Wednesday's loss to the Nets and appears likely to miss another game on Friday. How impactful his absence would be depends on Coby White's availability, who also sat out Chicago's most recent game. Dalen Terry and Jevon Carter played 18 and 16 minutes off the bench, respectively, and could take on similar roles on Friday. |
|
Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) questionable Friday vs. IND
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 1:52 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Dosunmu is dealing with a sprained thumb on his right (shooting) hand. Due to the absences of multiple players, he has taken on an expanded role within the Bulls' rotation, providing reliable late-round value whether he starts or comes off the bench. With Kevin Huerter out and Tre Jones doubtful, Dosunmu will again figure prominently in the rotation if he plays. |
|
Zach Collins Zach Collins (wrist) questionable Friday vs. IND
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 1:31 PM
NBA Injury Report
Zach Collins (wrist) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Collins did not play in Wednesday's loss to the Nets despite participating in pregame shootaround. His return would impact the center rotation behind starter Nikola Vu?evi?, with Lachlan Olbrich taking on that role recently. With Jalen Smith considered doubtful, Collins may be asked to take on the backup responsibilities immediately if he's available. |

Josh Giddey Josh Giddey has triple-double in loss to Nets
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 5:07 PM
Josh Giddey had 28 points (10-of-14 FGs, 8-of-11 FTs), 11 rebounds and 11 assists against the Nets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Giddey's triple-double was his fifth of the season and 23rd of his career. The 23-year-old shooting guard was highly efficient with 28 points on 14 attempts and 11 assists to just three turnovers. Giddey has returned fifth-round value so far this season. |
|
Patrick Williams Patrick Williams (wrist) available Wednesday
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 1:37 PM
Patrick Williams (wrist) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Williams is available despite his appearance on the injury report with a wrist injury. Even with the Bulls dealing with a bout of injuries, the 24-year-old forward hasn't seen his minutes increase. Williams isn't worth holding in most fantasy leagues at this point. |
|
Julian Phillips Julian Phillips (illness) available, will start
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 1:34 PM
Julian Phillips (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: No surprise here, as Phillips was initially listed as probable and is now officially available for Wednesday's game against the Nets. With Isaac Okoro and Kevin Huerter both out, the 22-year-old will be part of the Bulls' starting lineup. He joins Josh Giddey, Ayo Dosunmu, Matas Buzelis and Nikola Vu?evi?. |

Kevin Huerter Kevin Huerter (hamstring) out at least one week
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 1:15 PM
Drew Stevens
Kevin Huerter (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in one week.
Analysis: Huerter was injured during Monday's loss to the Magic and will sit out Wednesday's game against the Nets. Unfortunately, he's going to miss a few more games on top of that, with Bulls head coach Billy Donovan revealing that Huerter will be out for at least one week. While Tre Jones would be worth a look, he is also out with a sprained ankle. Ayo Dosunmu is worth targeting, especially as he continues to start. |
