Tre Jones Tre Jones (hamstring) questionable Friday vs. CLE
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 10:40 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tre Jones (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Jones, who recorded his second double-double of the season in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers, is dealing with left hamstring tightness. If he can't play and the Bulls remain without Ayo Dosunmu, there may be a few more minutes for Dalen Terry or Jevon Carter. Neither player is worth streaming in that scenario. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) questionable Friday vs. CLE
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 10:35 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Dosunmu has missed Chicago's last three games as he recovers from injuries to both thumbs. Kevin Huerter played 26 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers, and he would be in line for a similar workload if Dosunmu remains out. |

Zach Collins Zach Collins (wrist) probable Friday vs. Cleveland
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 10:33 AM
NBA Injury Report
Zach Collins (wrist) is probable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Collins most recently played 16 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers. The probable tag suggests he will play on Friday, but his playing time will be limited with Nikola Vu?evi? in the starting lineup. |

Nikola Vucevic Nikola Vu?evi? posts 20/9/4/2/1 line vs. Cleveland
Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 4:26 PM
Nikola Vu?evi? recorded 20 points (9-of-14 FGs), nine rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Well, give Vooch credit for his âfinishing kick.â The veteran center shot 6-of-9 from the field in the fourth quarter, which enabled him to record his first 20-point game since December 1. Over the past two weeks, he has averaged 12.4 points per game, with the decreased scoring weighing down Vu?evi?'s fantasy value. That said, his season-long value remains within the top-75 in eight-cat formats. Fantasy managers should not be too concerned, especially in the aftermath of his performance against the Cavaliers. |

Tre Jones Tre Jones dishes out 11 assists vs. Cleveland
Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 4:26 PM
Tre Jones amassed 11 points (5-of-7 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), one rebound, 11 assists and three steals in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Wednesday's performance was a reminder that Jones doesn't necessarily need to start to provide solid fantasy value. He finished with his second double-double of the season, matching his season-high in the assist category. Of course, it should be noted that Chicago did not have Ayo Dosunmu (thumb), which freed up additional minutes on the perimeter. Jones has played at least 24 minutes in each of his last eight appearances, so playing time has not been a significant issue in recent games. |

Coby White Coby White drops team-high 25 points vs. Cleveland
Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 4:25 PM
Coby White tallied 25 points (8-of-13 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Since making his season debut on November 16, White has failed to score at least 20 points on just one occasion. While the turnovers have been somewhat problematic, he's closing in on top-100 per-game value in eight-cat formats. The good news for those who have White rostered is that the Bulls play twice more in Week 9 without a back-to-back, so availability should not be an issue. |

Josh Giddey Josh Giddey records 23/11/11/2/1 line vs. Cavs
Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 4:25 PM
Josh Giddey finished Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers with 23 points (8-of-18 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, 11 assists, two steals, one block and five three-pointers.
Analysis: Giddey finished Wednesday's victory with his 13th triple-double since joining the Bulls, moving to within two of Scottie Pippen for second place on the franchise's all-time list. His stat line included a season-high five three-pointers, and the Bulls guard entered Wednesday shooting a career-high 39.8 percent from beyond the arc. While three-point percentage isn't a scoring category in most fantasy leagues, Giddey's improved proficiency has made him a better fantasy option than he's been in years past. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) downgraded to out Wednesday
Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 12:25 PM
Drew Stevens
Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Initially considered questionable, Dosunmu will miss a third straight game due to injuries to both thumbs. Kevin Huerter should figure more prominently in the Bulls' rotation, but he isn't worth the risk in most fantasy leagues when coming off the bench. |
|
Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Dec 16, 2025, 10:43 AM
Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Dosunmu has missed the last two games, but participated in the Bulls' shootaround Tuesday. The 25-year-old point guard had both of his thumbs taped as he explained to reporters that he has a bone bruise on his right thumb and a grade-one strain on his left thumb. Dosunmu was otherwise in good spirits and hopes to play Wednesday. Kevin Huerter will continue filling in if Dosunmu is ruled out. |

Josh Giddey Josh Giddey records 11/7/5 line vs. New Orleans
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 3:45 PM
Josh Giddey tallied 11 points (4-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists and one three-pointer in Sunday's loss to the Pelicans.
Analysis: Giddey's impact on the action Sunday night was muted, with this being the third time this season that he's scored 10 points or less. Over the past two weeks, the Bulls guard has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats. That's one round worse than his season-long value, so Sunday's performance was not anything worth losing sleep over. Giddey and the Bulls play three games in Week 9, starting with the Cavaliers on Wednesday. |

Kevin Huerter Kevin Huerter scores 16 points in return Sunday
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 3:44 PM
Kevin Huerter accounted for 16 points (6-of-12 FGs), four rebounds, three steals and four three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Pelicans.
Analysis: Having missed four games with a strained adductor, Huerter looked sharp in his 24 minutes against the Pelicans. Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) being out freed up some scoring opportunities for âRed Velvet,â who is not consistent enough to merit being rostered when he isn't in the starting lineup. Leave him on the waiver wire, even if Dosunmu misses more time. |

Coby White Coby White scores team-high 20 points vs. NOR
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 3:43 PM
Coby White finished Sunday's loss to the Pelicans with 20 points (8-of-18 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, two steals and one three-pointer.
Analysis: White led the way offensively for the Bulls and has scored at least 20 points in eight of the nine games he's played this season. A bonus for fantasy managers on Sunday was the two steals, but White's defensive production has been inconsistent. Hopefully, he'll get to a point where fantasy managers can rely on White for more than the major statistical categories. Chicago plays three games in Week 9, starting with the Cavaliers on Wednesday. |

Dalen Terry Dalen Terry (hand) available Sunday vs. NOR
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 11:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Dalen Terry (hand) is available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: While Terry should play rotation minutes with Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) unavailable, his opportunities remain limited due to Kevin Huerter's return. There's no need to consider streaming Terry. |
|
Coby White Coby White (calf) available Sunday vs. NOR
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 11:32 AM
NBA Injury Report
Coby White (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Initially probable for Sunday's game, White is good to go and will take on his usual role as part of Chicago's starting lineup. He played 30 minutes in Friday's win over the Hornets; expect a similar workload on Sunday. |
|
Kevin Huerter Kevin Huerter (adductor) available Sunday vs. NOR
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 11:26 AM
Chuck Swirsky
Kevin Huerter (adductor) is available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Huerter is available after a four-game absence with a strained left adductor. With Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) unavailable, Huerter is one of the players who can help absorb those minutes. However, the combination of a potential minutes restriction and the presence of Isaac Okoro and Patrick Williams makes Huerter a challenging player to rely on in fantasy basketball. |
|
Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) out Sunday vs. New Orleans
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 11:23 AM
Chuck Swirsky
Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Dosunmu will miss a second straight game with a sprained right thumb, leaving the Bulls down an option on the perimeter. Isaac Okoro, who is starting after returning from a lumbar injury, and Patrick Williams will absorb the minutes that would have gone to Dosunmu. Neither player should be considered a must-roster in most fantasy leagues. |
|
Coby White Coby White (calf) probable Sunday vs. New Orleans
Sat, Dec 13, 2025, 12:43 PM
NBA Injury Report
Coby White (calf) is probable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: While White is back on the injury report, fantasy managers should assume that he will be able to go on Sunday. If, for some reason, he cannot play, Tre Jones is the player to target for streaming value. Despite White and Giddey being available, Jones played 25 minutes off the bench on Friday and was part of Chicago's closing lineup in Charlotte. |
|
Dalen Terry Dalen Terry (hand) probable Sunday vs. New Orleans
Sat, Dec 13, 2025, 12:41 PM
NBA Injury Report
Dalen Terry (hand) is probable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Terry played 14 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over the Hornets. He'll likely take on a similar workload on Sunday, and that is not enough time for Terry to affect fantasy basketball. |
|
Kevin Huerter Kevin Huerter (adductor) questionable Sunday
Sat, Dec 13, 2025, 12:39 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Huerter (adductor) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Injured during a December 1 loss to the Magic, Huerter has missed Chicago's last four games with a strained left adductor. With Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) trending toward not playing on Sunday, Huerter would give the Bulls a welcome boost on the perimeter if he's able to play. However, his fantasy upside is limited with Josh Giddey and Coby White both healthy. |
|
Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) doubtful Sunday vs. NOR
Sat, Dec 13, 2025, 12:36 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Dosunmu has missed two of Chicago's last three games, and it appears likely that he'll miss a third on Sunday. Isaac Okoro's return from a back injury gave Chicago a boost on Friday, and Patrick Williams also played well in the win over the Hornets. However, neither player is worth the risk in most fantasy leagues, especially with Okoro's playing time being restricted. |
