Josh Giddey Josh Giddey records 21/7/6 line vs. New Orleans
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 5:53 PM
Josh Giddey tallied 21 points (6-of-12 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, six assists and four three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Pelicans.
Analysis: Giddey finished Monday's defeat with a solid stat line, but he was also responsible for five turnovers. This was the second time he's hit that number in four games, and he's averaging 3.6 turnovers per game for the season. Giddey is still providing top-40 value in nine-cat formats, and he's a top-25 player in eight-cat. The Bulls end Week 6 with a back-to-back against the Hornets and Pacers on Friday and Saturday. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu drops team-high 28 points vs. NOR
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 5:53 PM
Ayo Dosunmu accumulated 28 points (11-of-16 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Pelicans.
Analysis: After scoring eight points on 2-of-9 shooting in Saturday's win over the Wizards, Dosunmu was far more productive in New Orleans. The issue for him and the Bulls is that they couldn't string together stops, as the Pelicans shot 51 percent from the field and grabbed 19 offensive rebounds. That's how you give up 143 points, as the Bulls did. Rostered in 24 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Dosunmu is ranked just outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats this season. |

Coby White Coby White posts 24 points, six assists vs. NOR
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 5:52 PM
Coby White amassed 24 points (7-of-15 FGs, 7-of-10 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Pelicans.
Analysis: Since making his season debut on November 16, White has scored at least 20 points in all four appearances. Monday may be a sign that his minutes restriction is no longer valid, as the Bulls guard played 35 of a possible 48 minutes. His previous high was 31 minutes in Saturday's win over the Wizards. However, the Bulls have a back-to-back to end Week 6, so this may be a two-game week for White. |

Jalen Smith Jalen Smith scores 13 points vs. New Orleans
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 5:52 PM
Jalen Smith accounted for 13 points (4-of-6 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, one assist and three three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Pelicans.
Analysis: The Bulls didn't have Nikola Vu?evi? (knee) for Monday's game, but head coach Billy Donovan decided to go small. The experiment of starting Patrick Williams (6/4/2 with two three-pointers) alongside Matas Buzelis lasted one half, as the Bulls gave up 74 first-half points and were bludgeoned on the glass. As a result, Smith replaced Buzelis (10/4/0/0/2 with two three-pointers) in the lineup to begin the third quarter and was solid in his 26 minutes on the floor. Whether Smith is worth a look moving forward will depend on Vu?evi?'s availability and the schedule. Chicago ends Week 6 with a back-to-back on Friday and Saturday against the Hornets and Pacers. |

Patrick Williams CHI starts Giddey, White, Ayo, Buzelis, Williams
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 1:40 PM
NBA Lineups
Josh Giddey, Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, Matas Buzelis and Patrick Williams will start Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: The Bulls are without Nikola Vu?evi? for Monday's game, creating an opening in the starting lineup. However, they will go small, starting Williams at the five while Jalen Smith remains on the bench. Williams is not an exceptionally reliable fantasy option, but moving into the starting lineup makes him worth the risk. |

Patrick Williams Patrick Williams (wrist) available Monday vs. NOR
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 12:57 PM
NBA Injury Report
Patrick Williams (wrist) is available for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Williams is back after sitting out Saturday's win over the Wizards. While he hasn't been the most dependable fantasy option this season, Williams is worth a look in deep leagues given the absence of Nikola Vu?evi? and Kevin Huerter. |

Kevin Huerter Kevin Huerter (illness, pelvis) out Monday vs. NOR
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 12:39 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Huerter (illness, pelvis) is out for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: In addition to an illness, Huerter is dealing with soreness in his left pelvis. His absence frees up additional minutes for some of Chicago's healthy reserves, most notably Patrick Williams, Jevon Carter and Julian Phillips. None is the most enticing streaming option, but Williams offers the highest short-term upside. |

Nikola Vucevic Nikola Vu?evi? (knee) out Monday vs. New Orleans
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 12:36 PM
NBA Injury Report
Nikola Vu?evi? (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Initially questionable for Monday's game, Vu?evi? will be sidelined for the first time this season. Jalen Smith should move into the starting lineup, and he'll be worth the streaming risk due to Chicago's lack of healthy post players. |

Nikola Vucevic Nikola Vu?evi? (knee) questionable Monday vs. NOP
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 8:08 AM
Nikola Vu?evi? (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Vu?evi? is having another strong start to the year in his age-35 season. The center even called out his teammates for their lack of effort and being soft in his on-court postgame interview after beating the Wizards on Saturday. Vu?evi?'s status is up in the air for Monday, but he might have a better chance of suiting up after his recent tough talk. |

Julian Phillips Julian Champagnie grabs game-high 12 rebounds
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 4:39 PM
Julian Champagnie tallied 10 points (3-of-14 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 12 rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Suns.

Dalen Terry Dalen Terry (calf) out Monday vs. New Orleans
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 11:30 AM
NBA Injury Report
Dalen Terry (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Terry is dealing with a strained left calf, so he may be out for a while, even though the Bulls have not announced an official timeline. His absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as he's on the back end of the Bulls' rotation when healthy. Noa Essengue picked up a few minutes on Saturday, but there's no need to consider him in redraft leagues. |

Isaac Okoro Isaac Okoro (back) out Monday vs. New Orleans
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 11:23 AM
NBA Injury Report
Isaac Okoro (back) is out for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Okoro will miss a second straight game, leaving an opening in the starting lineup. Ayo Dosunmu has moved into the starting lineup, further enhancing the fantasy value of a player who was already worth rostering in deeper leagues. If Dosunmu is on your waiver wire, add him ahead of Monday's slate. |
|
Patrick Williams Patrick Williams (wrist) questionable Monday
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 11:14 AM
NBA Injury Report
Patrick Williams (wrist) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Due to a sprained left wrist, Williams did not play in Saturday's win over the Wizards. His absence led to more playing time for fellow reserve Julian Phillips, who played 10 minutes. Williams hasn't done enough to merit being rostered in most leagues this season, and Phillips has been even less valuable to fantasy managers. |
|
Kevin Huerter Kevin Huerter (illness) questionable Monday
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 10:59 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Huerter (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Huerter was also dealing with an illness ahead of Saturday's win over the Wizards, a game in which he played 19 minutes off the bench. He'll be in line for a similar workload if available on Monday, which isn't great in terms of fantasy potential. |

Josh Giddey Giddey records 18/12/11 triple-double in victory
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 6:51 PM
Josh Giddey posted 18 points (5-of-12 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), 12 rebounds, 11 assists, three steals and one block over 34 minutes, leading the Bulls to a narrow 121-120 win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Giddey did most of his damage in the second half, pouring in 12 points to help rally Chicago back to a much-needed win after trailing most of the night. The 23-year-old guard has delivered third-round value for fantasy purposes this season, averaging 20.4 points, 10.7 rebounds, 9.7 assists and 1.1 steals through 14 games. The upstart Bulls kick off a three-game week with a road matchup against the floundering Pelicans on Monday night before facing the Hornets and Pacers. |

Nikola Vucevic Vu?evi? goes off for 28 points, 12 boards vs. Wizards
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 6:48 PM
Nikola Vu?evi? tallied 28 points (12-of-20 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), 12 rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes in Saturday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Vu?evi? knocked down six of eight shots from the floor during the second half as Chicago managed to come from behind to knock off the lowly Wizards in this one. The 35-year-old center has come on strong over the past week, delivering fourth-round value during a five-game span, averaging 18 points, nine rebounds and three assists. |

Ayo Dosunmu CHI starts Giddey, White, Ayo, Buzelis, Vu?evi?
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 1:42 PM
NBA Lineups
Josh Giddey, Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, Matas Buzelis and Nikola Vu?evi? will start Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: The Bulls are without Isaac Okoro for Saturday's game, so Dosunmu will remain in the starting lineup for another game. Filling the void in the lineup is White, who makes his first start of the season after coming off the bench in his first two appearances. He'll be limited to 28 minutes, but Coby should be slotted into all fantasy lineups. |

Kevin Huerter Kevin Huerter (illness) available Saturday
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 1:00 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Huerter (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Initially questionable for Saturday's game, Huerter is good to go. He was ejected during the third quarter of Friday's loss to the Heat, so fatigue may not be a significant issue for him. He could potentially move into the starting lineup, as Isaac Okoro (back) is out. |
|
Patrick Williams Patrick Williams, Dalen Terry out Saturday vs. WAS
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 12:41 PM
NBA Injury Report
Patrick Williams (wrist) and Dalen Terry (calf) are out for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Terry strained his left calf during Friday's loss to the Heat, while Williams was not injured during the contest. Both players will miss Saturday's game, leaving the Bulls light on bench options. Julian Phillips and Jevon Carter will likely play rotation minutes, but neither is a must-stream player. |
|
Isaac Okoro Isaac Okoro (back) out Saturday vs. Washington
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 12:37 PM
Joel Lorenzi
Isaac Okoro (back) is out for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Okoro is out with a back injury. While his absence doesn't affect fantasy basketball, it does open up a spot in the Bulls' starting lineup. Julian Phillips is a potential replacement, especially with Patrick Williams also out. There's no need to consider streaming Phillips. |
