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. |

Coby White Coby White (calf) questionable Friday vs. CHA
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 11:29 AM
NBA Injury Report
Coby White (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Right calf strain injury management is the reason for White's appearance on the injury report. With the Bulls ending the week with a back-to-back on Friday and Saturday, fantasy managers should assume that White will sit out one of those games. Tre Jones is the likely replacement if White misses time, and he's worth rostering in deep leagues when allowed to start. |

Nikola Vucevic Nikola Vu?evi? (knee) questionable Friday vs. CHA
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 11:11 AM
NBA Injury Report
Nikola Vu?evi? (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Vu?evi? did not play in Friday's loss to the Pelicans, and the Bulls missed him dearly, as the team's lack of available size factored into New Orleans grabbing 19 offensive rebounds. If Vooch can play on Friday, Patrick Williams will head to the bench. Regardless of his place within the Bulls' rotation, Williams should not be rostered in most redraft leagues. |

Dalen Terry Dalen Terry (calf) questionable Friday vs. CHA
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 11:07 AM
NBA Injury Report
Dalen Terry (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Terry has missed Chicago's last two games with a strained calf. While his availability doesn't affect fantasy basketball, the Bulls have been lacking in perimeter depth recently due to injuries. Jevon Carter's playing time has increased, but he is not someone to stream, especially on an 11-game day. |

Isaac Okoro Isaac Okoro (back) doubtful Friday vs. Charlotte
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 11:03 AM
NBA Injury Report
Isaac Okoro (back) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Okoro has missed Chicago's last two games, and the doubtful tag suggests the streak will reach three on Friday. Ayo Dosunmu has been the replacement in the starting lineup and will retain that role. Already worth rostering in deep leagues, Ayo is worth considering in some 12-team formats as well. |

Kevin Huerter Kevin Huerter (pelvis) questionable Friday vs. CHA
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 10:59 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Huerter (pelvis) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Due to a pelvic injury and an illness, Huerter missed Monday's loss to the Pelicans. The former injury is the only one listed on Friday's injury report. With Huerter sidelined for their most recent game, the Bulls gave more minutes to Jevon Carter and Julian Phillips, but neither is in a position to be streamed if he misses another game. |

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. |
