Mon, Mar 9, 2026, 3:08 PM
NBA Injury Report
Patrick Williams (quad) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Williams was back in the Bulls' rotation on Sunday after missing four games with a strained quad, playing 17 minutes off the bench in a loss to the Kings. If available, he'll likely take on a similar workload, which makes Williams a non-factor in most fantasy leagues. |

Mon, Mar 9, 2026, 3:04 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Smith (calf) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Smith, who missed multiple games with a strained calf, played 20 minutes off the bench in Sunday's loss to the Kings. If cleared, he's likely to take on a similar workload against the Warriors. However, Smith's fantasy ceiling is limited if his playing time is restricted. |

NBA Injury Report
Collin Sexton (leg) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Sexton suffered a left fibular head contusion during Sunday's loss to the Kings and exited in the second half. If he's unable to play, Rob Dillingham's playing time may increase after logging 15 minutes on Monday. |

Analysis: Giddey is on track to play against the Warriors after logging 34 minutes and recording a triple-double in Sunday's loss to the Kings. Collin Sexton (leg), who stepped in for Giddey in Thursday's win over the Suns, is questionable to play on Tuesday. |

Chicago Bulls
Collin Sexton (leg) will not return to Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Sexton suffered a lower left leg contusion during the second half of Sunday's game, heading back to the locker room.

Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 2:41 PM
NBA Lineups
Tre Jones, Josh Giddey, Isaac Okoro, Matas Buzelis and Guerschon Yabusele will start Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Giddey and Buzelis are back after sitting out Thursday's win over the Suns. As a result of their returns, the Bulls have moved Collin Sexton and Leonard Miller to the bench. |

Patrick Williams Patrick Williams (quad) upgraded to available
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 1:47 PM
NBA Injury Report
Patrick Williams (quad) is available for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Williams is back after having missed the Bulls' last four games with a strained quad. Like Jalen Smith, his playing time will be restricted on Sunday. Given what Williams has produced when his minutes aren't restricted, there's no need to slot him into fantasy lineups. |

Jalen Smith Jalen Smith (calf) upgraded to available vs. SAC
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 1:44 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Smith (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Sunday's game will be Smith's first since February 22. His return likely means that Guerschon Yabusele and Nick Richards will play less, but Smith's playing time will be restricted due to the time missed. |
|
Josh Giddey Josh Giddey (ankle) upgraded to available vs. SAC
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 1:41 PM
NBA Injury Report
Josh Giddey (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Giddey is back in the Bulls' lineup after sitting out Thursday's win over the Suns. Collin Sexton, who scored a season-high 30 points in Giddey's absence, heads back to the bench. That lowers Sexton's fantasy ceiling, and Tre Jones may also take a hit despite starting. |

Patrick Williams Patrick Williams (quad) questionable vs. SAC
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 1:31 PM
NBA Injury Report
Patrick Williams (quad) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Williams has missed Chicago's lastfour games with a strained quad. If he's able to play, Williams is likely to come off the bench, which does him no favors as a player with limited fantasy value. |
|
Jalen Smith Jalen Smith (calf) questionable vs. Sacramento
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 1:29 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Smith (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Smith has been out since February 22 with a strained calf, and this is the first time since then that he's been listed as questionable on the injury report. If Smith can play on Sunday, Guerschon Yabusele and Nick Richards would lose out on playing time, but they would remain in the rotation. |
|
Josh Giddey Josh Giddey (ankle) questionable vs. Sacramento
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 1:20 PM
NBA Injury Report
Josh Giddey (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Sidelined for Thursday's win over the Suns, Giddey was replaced in the lineup by Collin Sexton. While Sexton scored a season-high 30 points, Giddey's absence also enhanced Tre Jones' fantasy value. |

Leonard Miller Leonard Miller grabs nine rebounds in spot start
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 6:03 PM
Leonard Miller recorded eight points (3-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs) and nine rebounds in Thursday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: The Bulls didn't have Matas Buzelis or Patrick Williams for Thursday's game, so Miller was the next man up. His issue offensively was the three-point shot, with the third-year forward missing all five of his attempts. While Miller did grab a career-high nine rebounds, the combination of poor shooting and the absence of defensive stats made Thursday a lost night for the few who streamed him. |

Tre Jones Tre Jones records 21/6/5/2 line vs. Phoenix
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 6:02 PM
Tre Jones tallied 21 points (9-of-15 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, five assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Thursday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: No Josh Giddey (ankle) ensured that Jones was the point guard running the show on Thursday, and he took full advantage of the opportunity. The 21 points were the most in a game for Jones, who's hit double figures in four straight, since he dropped 34 on the Rockets in mid-January. All that his final stat line lacked was a blocked shot, but few are surprised by that. Having started alongside Giddey when Josh is healthy, Jones is someone worth rostering for the rest of the season. |

Collin Sexton Collin Sexton scores season-high 30 points vs. PHX
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 6:00 PM
Collin Sexton finished Thursday's win over the Suns with 30 points (11-of-19 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), three rebounds, five assists, two steals and two three-pointers.
Analysis: The Suns seemingly underestimated the shorthanded Bulls, and Sexton made them pay dearly. The veteran guard put up a season-high point total and did so efficiently, shooting over 50 percent from the field and committing just one turnover. His place in the starting lineup depends on the availability of Josh Giddey (ankle), who was injured during Tuesday's loss to the Thunder. The Bulls are off until Sunday when they visit the Kings, so that may be enough time for Giddey to get back onto the court. |
|
Leonard Miller CHI starts Jones, Sexton, Okoro, Miller, Yabusele
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 2:44 PM
NBA Lineups
Tre Jones, Collin Sexton, Isaac Okoro, Leonard Miller and Guerschon Yabusele will start Thursday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: The Bulls won't have Josh Giddey or Matas Buzelis for Thursday's game, which frees up two spots in the starting lineup. Sexton and Miller will fill the voids, and while the former is the safer streaming option, the latter possesses a higher ceiling now that he'll be playing starters' minutes. |

Jalen Smith Jalen Smith (calf) downgraded to out vs. Phoenix
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 1:38 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Smith (calf) is out for Thursday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Smith has not appeared in a game since a February 22 loss to the Knicks. Guerschon Yabusele has served as the starting center, with Nick Richards picking up quality minutes off the bench. That should remain the case until Smith returns. |
|
Patrick Williams Patrick Williams (quad) ruled out vs. Phoenix
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 1:35 PM
NBA Injury Report
Patrick Williams (quad) has been ruled out against the Suns on Thursday.
Analysis: As expected, Williams will remain sidelined for another game with this strained quad. Chicago will be incredibly shorthanded for this game, meaning Leonard Miller should slide in as a starter at forward. |
|
Josh Giddey Josh Giddey (ankle) downgraded to out vs. Phoenix
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 1:33 PM
NBA Injury Report
Josh Giddey (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Injured during Tuesday's loss to the Thunder, Giddey will not be available on Thursday. Collin Sexton could move into the starting lineup, with Tre Jones serving as the lone point guard in the unit. |
|
Patrick Williams Patrick Williams (quad) doubtful vs. Phoenix
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 11:31 AM
NBA Injury Report
Patrick Williams (quad) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Williams suffered a strained quad during the Bulls' February 24 loss to the Hornets and has not appeared in a game since. With the doubtful tag for Thursday, he's likely to miss a fourth consecutive game. His absence has not affected fantasy basketball. |
