Jalen Smith Jalen Smith (shoulder) scores 16 points vs. DEN
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 5:42 PM
Jalen Smith (shoulder) recorded 16 points (6-of-11 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Monday's win over the Nuggets.
Analysis: Smith's productive night nearly came to a painful end, as he got his arm tangled with Nikola Joki?'s arm while attempting to defend the three-time MVP during the second half. Smith suffered a right shoulder injury and was taken to the locker room for further evaluation. The good news is that he returned to the game, but Smith's shoulder was wrapped in ice after the game. The Bulls visit Portland on Wednesday in the final game of their road trip, so keep an eye out for that early injury report. |

Jevon Carter Jevon Carter hits five three-pointers, scores 15
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 5:42 PM
Jevon Carter accounted for 15 points (5-of-13 FGs), four rebounds, one assist and five three-pointers in Monday's win over the Nuggets.
Analysis: With Coby White and Tre Jones unavailable, there were rotation minutes available for Carter. He took advantage of the opportunity, shooting 5-of-10 from beyond the arc. Carter didn't provide much value beyond points and three-pointers, which is why there's little need to stream him on nights when the Bulls are shorthanded. However, he deserves credit for Monday's performance, which was his best of the season. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu contributes 21 points, five assists
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 5:41 PM
Ayo Dosunmu tallied 21 points (8-of-9 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, five assists and one three-pointer in Monday's win over the Nuggets.
Analysis: Dealing with tightness in his left hamstring, Dosunmu was under a minutes restriction on Monday. He made the most of his 26 minutes, surpassing the 20-point mark for the second time in four games and the fourth time this season. Rostered in 22 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Dosunmu is a top-100 player in nine-cat formats. The lone concern in the short term is his hamstring, especially with the Bulls having another back-to-back to end Week 5. |

Josh Giddey Josh Giddey records 21/14/6 line vs. Denver
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 5:41 PM
Josh Giddey finished Monday's win over the Nuggets with 21 points (8-of-12 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 14 rebounds and six assists.
Analysis: After logging 42 minutes on Sunday in his first game back from a sprained ankle, Giddey experienced no issues on Monday. The Bulls' point guard played 30 minutes against the Nuggets, finishing with his ninth double-double of the season. Remove the turnovers, and Giddey is providing second-round value in 12-team formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (28) by a few spots. With Coby White making his first appearance of the season on Sunday, the Bulls are getting closer to full strength, which should only help Giddey continue his excellent start to the season. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (hamstring) available Monday vs. DEN
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 1:44 PM
K.C. Johnson
Ayo Dosunmu (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Despite tightness in his left hamstring, Dosumnu will play on Monday. However, his minutes will be restricted, as this is the second game the Bulls have played in as many nights. With Coby White out, there may be rotation minutes available to Jevon Carter or Dalen Terry, but neither is worth streaming on Monday. |
|
Tre Jones Tre Jones (ankle) to remain out Monday vs. Denver
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 1:41 PM
Joel Lorenzi
Tre Jones (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Jones will miss a second straight game with a left ankle impingement. During a workout to determine whether or not he'd play against the Nuggets, Jones was still experiencing discomfort while cutting. Kevin Huerter will continue to start, as the Bulls are also without Coby White. Huerter should be streamed until White is playing without restrictions. |
|
Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (hamstring) probable Monday vs. DEN
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 10:33 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ayo Dosunmu (hamstring) is probable for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Due to tightness in his left hamstring, Dosunmu is on the Bulls' injury report for Monday night. The good news is that he's considered probable, meaning that Ayo is closer to playing than sitting out. With Coby White (calf) not playing due to this being the Bulls' second game in as many nights, Dosummu will have a higher fantasy ceiling if allowed to play. |

Josh Giddey Josh Giddey (ankle) not on Monday's injury report
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 9:59 AM
NBA Injury Report
Josh Giddey (ankle) is not on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Nuggets.
Analysis: Chicago played a double-overtime game against Utah on Sunday, but that won't keep Giddey out for the second leg of Chicago's back-to-back set on Monday. Tre Jones is doubtful and Coby White is out, which means Giddey should see plenty of run. |

Nikola Vucevic Nikola Vu?evi? finishes thriller with 21 points
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 6:31 PM
Nikola Vu?evi? notched 21 points (8-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 13 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and three three-pointers in Sunday's double-overtime loss to the Jazz.
Analysis: Since recording his fifth double-double of the season on November 4, Vu?evi? had a four-game stretch in which he averaged 10.5 points and 6.3 rebounds while shooting 37.5 percent from the field. Sunday's performance went a long way toward getting the veteran center on track, as he recorded an efficient double-double with solid production in blocks and three-pointers. Vu?evi? goes into a four-game Week 5 ranked just outside the top-50 in nine-cat formats, which aligns with his Yahoo! ADP of 52. |

Coby White Coby White (calf) plays 30 minutes in season debut
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 6:28 PM
Drew Stevens
Coby White finished Sunday's double-overtime loss to the Jazz with 27 points (5-of-14 FGs, 14-of-14 FTs), four rebounds, eight assists, one steal and three three-pointers.
Analysis: White made his first appearance of the season on Sunday, and he was under a restriction of 24 points. He blew right past that number, playing 30 minutes, and also scored the basket in the final seconds that forced a second overtime. While White looked sharp, the playing time was suboptimal given the time lost to injury. He hasn't been officially ruled out for Monday's game in Denver, but it would be shocking if White were available to play. Consider him doubtful. |

Josh Giddey Josh Giddey records 26/12/13/2/2 line vs. Utah
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 6:24 PM
Josh Giddey amassed 26 points (9-of-21 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), 12 rebounds, 13 assists, two steals, two blocks and two three-pointers in Sunday's double-overtime loss to the Jazz.
Analysis: Back in the Bulls' lineup after missing two games with a sprained ankle, Giddey played 42 of a possible 58 minutes against the Jazz. For that reason, fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets. With Coby White and Tre Jones not expected to play in Denver, the Bulls may have to rely heavily upon Ayo Dosunmu (18/1/5 with two three-pointers). Monday's game is the first of four the Bulls will play during Week 5. |

Tre Jones Tre Jones (ankle) downgraded to out Sunday
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 12:47 PM
NBA Injury Report
Tre Jones (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Jones will miss a game for the first time this season due to a left ankle impingement. Josh Giddey, who missed the last two games with a sprained ankle, is available and will fill the void left by Jones. |

Josh Giddey Josh Giddey (ankle) available Sunday vs. Utah
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 12:39 PM
NBA Injury Report
Josh Giddey (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Giddey is back after a two-game absence. He'll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, serving as the lone point guard due to Tre Jones (ankle) being unavailable. Kevin Huerter will also start in the backcourt for the Bulls. |
|
Coby White Coby White (calf) available Sunday vs. Utah
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 12:37 PM
K.C. Johnson
Coby White (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: White has been cleared to make his first appearance of the season, giving the Bulls a welcome infusion of scoring on the perimeter. However, he will be under a minutes restriction for âseveral games,â and will come off the bench. As a result, Kevin Huerter will remain in the starting lineup and is worth holding onto if you've been streaming him. |
|
Tre Jones Tre Jones (ankle) questionable vs. Utah
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 11:03 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tre Jones (ankle) is questionable to play against the Jazz on Sunday.
Analysis: Jones has been a starter all season, but with Coby White (calf) potentially making his season debut, Jones could be pushed back to the bench. Jones will likely start if White is out, but if both guards are sidelined, Kevin Huerter would be in line for another start. |
|
Coby White Coby White (calf) questionable vs. Utah
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 11:00 AM
NBA Injury Report
Coby White (calf) is questionable to play against the Jazz on Sunday.
Analysis: White will have a chance to make his season debut on Sunday. He may have his minutes managed, but White should start if he plays. With Josh Giddey (ankle) listed as probable, Tre jones and Kevin Huerter will likely be pushed to the bench. |
|
Josh Giddey Josh Giddey (ankle) probable vs. Utah on Sunday
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 10:55 AM
NBA Injury Report
Josh Giddey (ankle) is probable to play against the Jazz on Sunday.
Analysis: Giddey has missed Chicago's last two games, with Kevin Huerter replacing him in the starting unit in both. However, with both Coby White and Tre Jones listed as questionable with ankle injuries, Huerter could remain a starter if both guards are held out. |

Coby White Coby White, Josh Giddey log full practice Friday
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 8:02 AM
K.C. Jones
Coby White (calf) and Josh Giddey (ankle) went through a full practice on Friday, according to Bulls insider K.C. Jones.
Analysis: White has yet to appear in a game in 2025-26, but he is nearing a return after logging his first full practice of the season. Giddey has missed two straight games, but he's trending in the right direction. The Bulls' next games will be Sunday against the Jazz and Monday against the Nuggets and White and Giddey may make an appearance in one of those two contests. |

Kevin Huerter Kevin Huerter tallies 20 points vs. Detroit
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 4:15 PM
Kevin Huerter amassed 20 points (10-of-17 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in Wednesday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: One game removed from knocking down four three-pointers, Huerter missed all four of his attempts on Wednesday. However, he shot 10-of-13 from inside the arc, resulting in his second consecutive 20-point game. Huerter's fantasy value depends on the availability of Josh Giddey, who's missed the last two games with a sprained ankle. If Giddey is available for Sunday's game in Utah, it will be safe to drop Huerter onto the waiver wire. |

Isaac Okoro Isaac Okoro scores 15 points in loss to Detroit
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 4:15 PM
Isaac Okoro finished Wednesday's loss to the Pistons with 15 points (5-of-7 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Still ranked outside the top-200 in eight- and nine-cat formats, Okoro has not done enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues. However, he's capable of having the occasional productive night, as was the case on Wednesday. Okoro hit double figures for the second time in three games and the fifth time this season, halfway to his total for the entire 2024-25 season. There's no need to consider adding Okoro, but his performance against the Pistons was on par with what Bulls fans hoped they would get from Patrick Williams (7/5/1/1/1) consistently. |
