NBA Injury Report
Patrick Williams (ankle) is questionable to play against the Clippers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Williams missed Sunday's game against the Nets after an early exit on Friday. Kevin Huerter took on a few extra minutes with Williams out on Sunday and should continue to see a larger role if Williams remains sidelined against the Clippers. |

NBA Injury Report
Josh Giddey (hamstring) is questionable to play against the Clippers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Giddey has been sidelined since December, but there is a chance he returns to the lineup to take on the Clippers. Tre Jones has been starting in his place, where he has had fantasy success this season. However, if Giddey returns, Jones will head back to the bench, which will eliminate the streaming value he held. |

Coby White White scores 24 points as Bulls topple Nets
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 3:26 PM
Coby White led the Bulls to a 124-102 victory over the Nets, recording 24 points (8-of-14 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 29 minutes.
Analysis: White fueled Chicago's offense early on with 16 first-half points as they shot 60 percent (12-of-20) from three-point range and 60 percent overall (28-of-47) to take a 70-51 halftime lead. The 25-year-old slashing guard has struggled to return to form after dealing with a calf injury earlier this month, but he looked sharp in this one, knocking down 7-of-11 attempts from beyond the arc. He'll continue to play a significant role with plenty of creation possessions while Josh Giddey (hamstring) remains sidelined. The Bulls have a three-game week on tap featuring matchups against the Clippers, Timberwolves and Celtics. |

Analysis: Vu?evi? got off to a strong start with 11 points and seven boards in the opening half and was able to cruise to his 17th double-double through 41 games.

Jalen Smith CHI starts White, Okoro, Buzelis, Smith, Vu?evi?
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 12:47 PM
NBA Lineups
Coby White, Isaac Okoro, Matas Buzelis, Jalen Smith and Nikola Vu?evi? will start Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Tre Jones, the usual replacement for Josh Giddey, will come off the bench on Sunday. He's been replaced in the starting five by Smith, who gives Chicago a bigger frontcourt playing alongside Vu?evi?. White will be the lone point guard on the floor in this lineup, which may raise his assist ceiling. |

NBA Injury Report
Patrick Williams (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Injured during Friday's loss to the Nets, Williams will not play in Sunday's rematch. He hasn't been productive enough to merit being rostered in redraft leagues. There should be more playing time available to Kevin Huerter with Williams unavailable. |

Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 11:27 AM
NBA Injury Report
Josh Giddey (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Giddey was initially doubtful for Sunday's game, so his absence going for another game is unsurprising. Tre Jones will continue to take on the starting point guard responsibilities, and he's worth streaming while Giddey sits. |

NBA Injury Report
Patrick Williams (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Sat, Jan 17, 2026, 11:04 AM
NBA Injury Report
Josh Giddey (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Giddey has not appeared in a game since December 29. While the doubtful tag suggests this won't change on Sunday, the listing indicates progress in the guard's recovery. Tre Jones will serve as the starting point guard until Giddey returns. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu has 18 points in loss to Nets Friday
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 4:26 PM
Ayo Dosunmu had 18 points (7-of-13 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), one rebound, one assist and one steal against the Nets on Friday.
Analysis: Dosunmu continues to be instant offense off the bench for the Bulls. The 25-year-old point guard only played 20 minutes against the Nets, but had 18 points in a relatively low-scoring game. Dosunmu had only one assists, but he'd had at least five assists in six of his last nine games entering play Friday. He's provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks with Josh Giddey (hamstring) out. |

Nikola Vucevic Nikola Vu?evi? has 19/6/5 line in loss to Nets
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 4:22 PM
Nikola Vu?evi? had 19 points (9-of-14 FGs), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one three-pointer in Friday's loss to the Nets.
Analysis: Vu?evi? and the Bulls were in a letdown spot against the Nets after the 35-year-old center dropped 35 points and made a game-winning shot against the Jazz on Wednesday. While he was 9-of-14 from the field, Vu?evi? probably should've taken more shots as he finished with just 19 points in Friday's loss. He's still provided first-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Bulls have a rematch with the Nets on Sunday. |

Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 3:21 PM
Bulls
Patrick Williams (ankle) left Friday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Williams had seven points and three rebounds in 12 minutes off the bench before departing with what the Bulls called a right ankle sprain. The 24-year-old forward won't return. While his availability doesn't impact fantasy basketball and the severity of his injury is unknown, the Bulls will be back in action Sunday for a rematch with the Nets. |

Julian Phillips Julian Phillips (wrist) available vs. Brooklyn
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 11:50 AM
NBA Injury Report
Julian Phillips (wrist) is available to play against the Nets on Friday.
Analysis: Phillips will be back after missing Chicago's last two games with a wrist injury. However, his role this season has been a minimal one, so his return won't alter the Bulls' rotation. |
|
Kevin Huerter Kevin Huerter (hip) available vs. Brooklyn
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 11:48 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Huerter (hip) is available to play against the Nets on Friday.
Analysis: Huerter was initially listed as probable, so his availability was expected. He'll continue to occupy his typical role off the bench, where he has scored in double figures in three straight games. |
|
Kevin Huerter Kevin Huerter (hip) probable Friday vs. Brooklyn
Thu, Jan 15, 2026, 11:44 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Huerter (hip) is probable for Friday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Huerter is dealing with tightness in his right hip flexor, but the probable tag suggests he'll be available to play. He most recently played 19 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Jazz. While Huerter's playing time has been consistent, the role isn't good enough to make him much more than a deep-league streamer. |

Coby White Coby White (calf) scores six points in win vs. UTA
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 5:05 PM
Coby White notched six points (2-of-7 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and one three-pointer in the win over the Jazz on Wednesday.
Analysis: White struggled in his first game back from a calf injury that sidelined him in Tuesday's loss to the Rockets. He was limited to 30 minutes of action on Wednesday and didn't have his usual impact as a scorer. He also logged five turnovers and struggled with his ball security, despite being having a good game as a facilitator. White is having a down season relative to his recent campaigns, but he will have a chance to bounce back on Friday against the Nets. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu logs 15 points off bench vs. Utah
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 4:56 PM
Ayo Dosunmu totaled 15 points (6-of-11 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), two rebounds, six assists, three steals and two three-pointers in the win over the Jazz on Wednesday.
Analysis: Donsunmu bounced back from an unspectacular performance against the Rockets to put up some solid numbers in a winning effort against the Jazz on Wednesday. The fifth-year guard scored efficiently and was impactful with his playmaking against Utah to finish as one of Chicago's top scorers and assisters. The double-figure scoring performances marked the sixth of January for Dosunmu, who continues to have one of his best seasons as a pro. |

Nikola Vucevic Nikola Vu?evi? scores 35, hits game-winner vs. UTA
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 4:48 PM
Nikola Vu?evi? tallied 35 points (14-of-22 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two three-pointers in the win over the Jazz on Wednesday.
Analysis: Vu?evi? had himself another productive performance on Wednesday, going for 20 or more points for the third time already in January and reaching the 30-point mark for the first time all season. Efficient shooting led to his season-high, and the veteran center was also impactful as a facilitator in this game. He finished as Chicago's leading scorer on the night in the win and will have a chance for another strong outing on Friday against the Nets. |

Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 12:29 PM
Drew Stevens
Coby White (calf) will play between 28 and 30 minutes in Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: White did not play in Tuesday's loss to the Rockets, opening up a place in the starting lineup for Jalen Smith. Smith played 36 minutes against Houston; he'll head back to the bench, with his playing time taking a hit. |

Josh Giddey Josh Giddey (hamstring) begins ramp-up process
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 12:26 PM
K.C. Johnson
According to Bulls head coach Billy Donovan, Josh Giddey (hamstring) has begun to ramp up his activity.
Analysis: Giddey has not appeared in a game since December 29. He was a limited participant in Monday's non-contact practice, but the Bulls' guard is progressing well in his recovery. According to Donovan, âthis is a big weekâ for Giddey. Tre Jones has been the starter, and he's worth streaming while the Bulls await Giddey's return. |
