Jalen Smith Jalen Smith (hamstring) out Saturday vs. Pacers
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 8:06 AM
Jalen Smith (hamstring) is out for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Smith is dealing with a left hamstring strain. The 25-year-old power forward had six points in 17 minutes against the Hornets on Friday, but is out for Saturday's matchup with the Pacers. Smith is only worth a look from fantasy managers when Nikola Vu?evi? is out. |

Dalen Terry Dalen Terry (calf) out Saturday vs. Pacers
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 8:00 AM
Dalen Terry (calf) is out for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Terry is set to miss his fourth consecutive game with a strained calf. While his absence doesn't significantly impact fantasy basketball, Jevon Carter figures to see additional minutes in Terry's absence. |

Patrick Williams Patrick Williams (wrist) probable Saturday
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 7:58 AM
Patrick Williams (wrist) is probable for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Williams had five points in 13 minutes against the Hornets on Friday. The 24-year-old power forward figures to be available once again against the Pacers on Saturday given his probable listing. Williams isn't worth carrying on fantasy basketball rosters while in a bench role, though. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (illness) probable Saturday vs. Pacers
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 7:55 AM
Ayo Dosunmu (illness) is probable for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Dosunmu figures to start again in place of Isaac Okoro. The 25-year-old point guard had just five points in 23 minutes against the Hornets on Friday, but managed 28 points against the Pelicans earlier this week. Dosunmu is worth rostering in standard leagues while Okoro is out. |

Isaac Okoro Isaac Okoro (back) out Saturday vs. Pacers
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 7:52 AM
Isaac Okoro (back) is out for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Okoro has missed the last three games with left lumbar radiculopathy. The 24-year-old small forward remains without a timetable for return. Ayo Dosunmu is probable, but should start again Saturday against the Pacers. |
|
Nikola Vucevic Nikola Vu?evi? (knee) probable Saturday vs. Pacers
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 7:50 AM
Nikola Vu?evi? (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Vu?evi? missed Monday's game against the Pelicans with a knee injury, his first missed game of the season. The 35-year-old center was available Friday and is likely to suit up again Saturday against the Pacers. Vu?evi? remains a steady fantasy producer late into his career. |

Coby White Coby White (calf) questionable Saturday vs. Pacers
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 7:47 AM
Joel Lorenzi
Coby White (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: White is still dealing with a right calf strain and is listed as questionable on the injury report for injury management reasons. The 25-year-old point guard had 25 points against the Hornets on Friday, but his status is up in the air for the second game of a back-to-back against the Pacers. Tre Jones should start if White is out and is worth streaming in deeper formats. |

Coby White Coby White drops 25 points in loss to Charlotte
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 6:03 PM
Coby White led the Bulls with 25 points (11-of-23 FGs), two rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer against the Hornets on Friday.
Analysis: Though White's start to the season was delayed, he has been a fantastic scoring option in the games he has been available for. He has suited up five times and scored at least 20 points in all five outings. Unfortunately, he hasn't produced in other categories, and it wasn't enough to get a win against Charlotte, White also has been sidelined for leg of Chicago's last two back-to-backs, so be sure to check back to find out his status for Saturday's game against the Pacers. |

Josh Giddey Josh Giddey puts up 25/11/9 line vs. Charlotte
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 5:50 PM
Josh Giddey stuffed the stat sheet on Friday with 25 points (8-of-16 FGs), 11 rebounds, nine assists, one steal and three three-pointers in a 123-116 loss to the Hornets.
Analysis: Giddey has been able to fill up the box score often this season, and this wasn't the first time this season that he came this close to recording a triple-double double. However, it was only the second time this year that he didn't commit a turnover. Giddey's second-half breakout last year has translated through the first month of this season, and he'll look to have another big night against the Pacers on Saturday. |

Nikola Vucevic Vu?evi? posts 13/14 double-double in loss
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 5:41 PM
Nikola Vu?evi? returned to the lineup on Friday and contributed 13 points (6-of-11 FGs), 14 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one three-pointer against the Hornets.
Analysis: After a one-game absence with a knee injury, Vu?evi? was back for this game. His return gave Chicago a stronger presence in the post, but it wasn't enough for them to get a win. Vu?evi? was still able to record a double-double, which was his eighth of the season. He'll continue to fill the majority of the minutes in the post for Chicago, where he'll remain a steady producer. |

Nikola Vucevic CHI starts White, Giddey, Huerter, Buzelis, Vooch
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 1:08 PM
NBA Lineups
Coby White, Josh Giddey, Kevin Huerter, Matas Buzelis and Nikola Vu?evi? will start Friday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Huerter and Vu?evi? are back after sitting out Monday's loss to the Pelicans. Of the two, the latter's return is more important, given his superior fantasy value and the way the Bulls were dominated on the boards in New Orleans. Ayo Dosunmu and Patrick Williams will come off the bench, with the former still having value to fantasy managers. |

Patrick Williams Patrick Williams (wrist) available vs. Charlotte
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 12:32 PM
NBA Injury Report
Patrick Williams (wrist) is available to play against the Hornets on Friday.
Analysis: Williams will be good to go after initially being listed as questionable, but with Nikola Vu?evi? back, Williams will return to playing a role off the bench. He'll be a solid reserve forward, but he isn't a player that is worth rostering. |

Coby White Coby White (calf) available Friday vs. Charlotte
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 12:29 PM
Sam Perley
Coby White (calf) is available for Friday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: White is good to go for Friday's game, but his minutes may be managed closely. However, having White on the floor for some minutes is better than having none at all. The Bulls face the Pacers on Saturday, so those who have White rostered should plan for the possibility that he does not play due to injury management. |

Nikola Vucevic Nikola Vu?evi? (knee) available vs. Charlotte
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 12:28 PM
Sam Perley
Nikola Vu?evi? (knee) is available to play against the Hornets on Friday.
Analysis: Vu?evi? will be back after a one-game absence. Bulls coach Billy Donovan mentioned that a âgood numberâ of the originally questionable players will be on a minutes restriction, but that likely won't limited Vu?evi?'s role by much. Patrick Williams, who is still questionable with a wrist injury, will be bumped out of the starting lineup regardless of his status. |

Kevin Huerter Kevin Huerter (pelvis) available Friday vs. CHA
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 12:26 PM
Sam Perley
Kevin Huerter (pelvis) is available for Friday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Huerter is back after missing Monday's loss to the Pelicans. However, while his return will help the Bulls from a depth standpoint, Red Velvet may be on a minutes restriction. During his pregame availability, Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said some of the players returning from injury will be restricted, but he did not specify who. When restricted, Huerter offers little fantasy value. |

Isaac Okoro Isaac Okoro (back) ruled out Friday vs. Charlotte
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 12:20 PM
Chuck Swirsky
Isaac Okoro (back) is out for Friday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Friday's game will be the third that Okoro has missed due to left lumbar radiculopathy, and he does not have a return timeline. Ayo Dosunmu has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and that will remain the case on Friday. Even when Okoro is healthy, Dosunmu has been the superior option for fantasy managers. |
|
Dalen Terry Dalen Terry (calf) ruled out vs. Charlotte
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 12:19 PM
Chuck Swirsky
Dalen Terry (calf) has been ruled out against the Hornets on Friday.
Analysis: Terry will miss a third straight game after being downgraded from questionable to doubtful earlier in the day. Jevon Carter should continue to play a few extra minutes with Terry unavailable, but there shouldn't be much of an impact on the rest of the rotation. |
|
Dalen Terry Dalen Terry (calf) doubtful Friday vs. Hornets
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 9:45 AM
NBA Injury Report
Dalen Terry (calf) has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday's matchup with the Hornets.
Analysis: Terry will likely be sidelined against Charlotte, though his absence doesn't have a significant impact on Chicago's rotation. |
|
Coby White Coby White (calf) probable Friday vs. Hornets
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 9:19 AM
NBA Injury Report
Coby White (calf) is probable for Friday's matchup with the Hornets.
Analysis: Fantasy managers should pencil White in for Friday's matchup, but they should consider other options on Saturday for the second leg of Chicago's back-to-back set. If White sits that one out, Tre Jones would likely replace him in the starting five. |
|
Patrick Williams Patrick Williams (wrist) questionable Friday
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 11:33 AM
NBA Injury Report
Patrick Williams (wrist) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Williams started Monday's loss to the Pelicans, filling the void left by Nikola Vu?evi?. He did not provide much production in that role and remains difficult to trust in any fantasy format. If Williams doesn't play, Julian Phillips may pick up a few additional minutes off the bench, but it won't be enough to make him fantasy-relevant. |
