Lonzo Ball
Lonzo Ball (illness) ruled out vs. Detroit
Mon, Feb 10, 2025, 11:42 AM
NBA Injury Report
Lonzo Ball (illness) has been ruled out against the Pistons on Tuesday.
Analysis: Ball will miss a third straight game as he continues to deal with the flu. He had been starting prior to this absence, and rookie Matas Buzelis should continue to fill the void. Buzelis has averaged 14.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and two blocks as a starter during Chicago's last two games.
Ayo Dosunmu
Ayo Dosunmu (illness) probable Tuesday vs. DET
Mon, Feb 10, 2025, 11:40 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ayo Dosunmu (illness) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: While Dosunmu is on the injury report, the “probable” tag suggests he'll ultimately be cleared to play. When healthy, he's been a fixture in the starting lineup, and that's unlikely to change, especially with the Bulls trading Zach LaVine to the Kings.
Josh Giddey
Josh Giddey records 11/6/4/1/3 line vs. Warriors
Sat, Feb 8, 2025, 4:44 PM
Josh Giddey logged 31 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Warriors, accumulating 11 points (3-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal, three blocks, and two 3-pointers.
Analysis: Giddey recorded a complete stat line on Saturday, and he's played 30 minutes or more in five straight games. Over the past two weeks, the Bulls guard has provided 4th-round value in 8-cat formats. If Giddey remains healthy and the front office believes a play-in spot is worth chasing, he'll be a reliable perimeter player for fantasy managers. Also, in Yahoo leagues, Giddey is eligible as a point guard, shooting guard, and small forward.
Kevin Huerter
Kevin Huerter struggles in Bulls debut Saturday
Sat, Feb 8, 2025, 4:43 PM
NBC Sports Bay Area
Kevin Huerter shot 1-of-7 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Saturday's loss to the Warriors, accounting for four points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one 3-pointer in 19 minutes.
Analysis: After being traded to Chicago, Huerter made some interesting comments, describing Sacramento's offense as “choppy” and stating he may fit in better with the Bulls. His debut did not go well, as Red Velvet shot 1-of-7 from the field and offered little value beyond his four rebounds. Between the playing time and production, fantasy managers would be better served to leave Huerter alone until he strings together a few solid performances.
Tre Jones
Tre Jones logs 17 minutes in Bulls debut Saturday
Sat, Feb 8, 2025, 4:43 PM
Tre Jones finished Saturday's loss to the Warriors with zero points (0-of-3 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 17 minutes.
Analysis: Bulls coach Billy Donovan said before Saturday's game that he hoped to get all three new additions on the court. Jones and Kevin Huerter did play rotation minutes, but Zach Collins (DNP-CD) did not. In Jones' case, Lonzo Ball being out ensured he would have an opportunity to play. Between Ball's absence and the final stat line, there isn't much to gain from rostering Jones in fantasy leagues. The same can be said for Collins unless the Bulls decide to shut down Nikola Vucevic at some point.
Coby White
Coby White leads Bulls with 27 points in loss
Sat, Feb 8, 2025, 4:42 PM
Coby White shot 7-of-12 from the field and 7-of-7 from the foul line in Saturday's loss to the Warriors, scoring 27 points with four rebounds, four assists, and six 3-pointers in 34 minutes.
Analysis: White and the Bulls didn't have an issue on the offensive end against Golden State; they had serious defensive problems. Chicago gave up 77 second-half points, and the Warriors executed a 49-point turnaround to win comfortably. White's 27 points are the most he's scored in a game since January 4 (33 vs. New York), and he's had 20 or more in five straight. Over the past two weeks, he's provided 6th-round value in 8-cat formats. Chicago plays two games against the Pistons before the All-Star break, a Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back.
Talen Horton-Tucker
Talen Horton-Tucker (leg) available Saturday
Sat, Feb 8, 2025, 12:21 PM
Talen Horton-Tucker (leg) is available for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Horton-Tucker is set to return after missing the last three games with a leg injury. The 24-year-old shooting guard doesn't have a large enough role to significantly impact the Bulls' rotation, let alone fantasy basketball lineups.
Dalen Terry
Dalen Terry (knee) available Saturday vs. Warriors
Sat, Feb 8, 2025, 12:19 PM
Dalen Terry (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Terry was a late scratch Wednesday against the Timberwolves. While he'll return as active against the Warriors Saturday, the 22-year-old shooting guard typically doesn't play enough to significantly impact fantasy basketball.
Lonzo Ball
Lonzo Ball (illness) out Saturday vs. Warriors
Sat, Feb 8, 2025, 12:17 PM
Lonzo Ball (illness) is out for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: No surprise here as Ball was listed as questionable with an illness. With the 27-year-old point guard out, Ayo Dosunmu will have more playmaking opportunities and the newly acquired Kevin Huerter could see more minutes.
Tre Jones
Tre Jones, Zach Collins off injury report vs. GSW
Fri, Feb 7, 2025, 2:00 PM
NBA Injury Report
Tre Jones and Zach Collins will be available to play against the Warriors on Saturday.
Analysis: Both former Spurs will make their debuts for Chicago against Golden State. Jones should fill out some of the backup point guard minutes, though the Bulls have an abundance of point guard options already. Collins should split the backup center minutes with Jalen Smith.
Kevin Huerter
Kevin Huerter to make Bulls debut Saturday
Fri, Feb 7, 2025, 1:03 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Huerter is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Warriors.
Analysis: Huerter was acquired from the Kings earlier in the week and will presumably take the court in his new uniform for the first time Saturday. With Lonzo Ball (influenza) questionable, Huerter could see meaningful minutes in the backcourt.
Lonzo Ball
Lonzo Ball (illness) questionable Saturday vs. GSW
Fri, Feb 7, 2025, 1:00 PM
NBA Injury Report
Lonzo Ball (illness) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Warriors.
Analysis: Chicago's $20 million man is in danger of sitting out Saturday. If he's sidelined, Ayo Dosunmu and the newly acquired Kevin Huerter could see additional minutes.
Josh Giddey
Josh Giddey posts 19/4/4/1 line vs. Minnesota
Wed, Feb 5, 2025, 5:12 PM
Josh Giddey logged 32 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Timberwolves, accounting for 19 points (7-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal, and three 3-pointers.
Analysis: Giddey has scored at least 19 points in three straight games, and he's offered 5th-round value in 8-cat formats over the past two weeks. With Chicago seemingly pivoting toward a youth movement, he's one player whose fantasy value may increase, especially after the All-Star break. With Giddey being a free agent this summer, it wouldn't hurt the front office to get even more time to evaluate him before making a decision in the offseason.
Coby White
Coby White leads Bulls with 20 points in loss
Wed, Feb 5, 2025, 5:12 PM
Coby White shot 5-of-11 from the field and 6-of-6 from the foul line in Wednesday's loss to Minnesota, scoring 20 points with four assists and four 3-pointers in 32 minutes.
Analysis: Seven Bulls reached double figures on Wednesday, with White's 20 points leading the way. Over the past two weeks, he's offered 7th-round value in 8-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long value. Chicago is moving Zach LaVine to Sacramento, which frees up possessions for the team's young guards. This should benefit White if he remains on the roster after the trade deadline. His name has come up in rumors, but Chicago would likely be better served if they could move Nikola Vucevic instead.
Lonzo Ball
Shams: Bulls ink Lonzo Ball to $20 million deal
Wed, Feb 5, 2025, 3:11 PM
Shams Charania
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Bulls have agreed to a two-year, $20 million extension with Lonzo Ball.
Analysis: According to Charania, several trade suitors were interested in Ball, but the Bulls decided to keep the 27-year-old point guard on a two-year extension. Ball enjoyed a healthy and productive season after dealing with injuries over the last two years. He figures to have an expanded role for the rest of the year with the Bulls having moved on from Zach LaVine.
Dalen Terry
Dalen Terry (knee) a late scratch Wednesday
Wed, Feb 5, 2025, 12:51 PM
Julia Poe
Dalen Terry (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.
Analysis: Approximately 10 minutes after it was announced that Terry would play, he was scratched due to a left knee contusion. When healthy, he hasn't played enough to impact fantasy basketball. Jevon Carter may play additional minutes off the bench with Terry out, but there's no need to stream him in this spot.
Dalen Terry
Dalen Terry (knee) available Wednesday vs. MIN
Wed, Feb 5, 2025, 12:42 PM
Dalen Terry (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Terry was out Tuesday with a left knee contusion. While the 22-year-old shooting guard will return Wednesday, he doesn't have a big enough role to significantly impact fantasy basketball.
Adama Sanogo
Adama Sanogo (knee) out again vs. Minnesota
Wed, Feb 5, 2025, 8:42 AM
NBA Injury Report
Adama Sanogo (knee) will remain sidelined against the Timberwolves on Wednesday.
Analysis: Sanogo will remain sidelined, but even when he's been available to play, he rarely sees the floor. His status does not impact fantasy basketball.
Dalen Terry
Dalen Terry (knee) questionable vs. Minnesota
Wed, Feb 5, 2025, 8:39 AM
NBA Injury Report
Dalen Terry (knee) is questionable to play against the Timberwolves on Wednesday.
Analysis: Terry missed Tuesday's game, but he may be back in the lineup despite still dealing with a contusion in his left knee. Terry doesn't play a large role, so his status won't have much of an impact on the team's rotation.
Lonzo Ball
Lonzo Ball, Talen Horton-Tucker ruled out vs. MIN
Wed, Feb 5, 2025, 8:09 AM
Alan Horton
Lonzo Ball (knee) and Talen Horton-Tucker (leg) have been ruled out against the Timberwolves on Wednesday.
Analysis: Ball will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back, which shouldn't come as a surprise. His starting spot will be open, and it will likely be filled by Patrick Williams or Matas Buzelis, who just had 24 points on 10-of-10 shooting on Tuesday. THT will miss a third straight game, but he hasn't played a large role when healthy, so that won't impact their rotation.
