Coby White Coby White scores team-high 22 points vs. Wolves
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 5:56 PM
Coby White led the Bulls with 22 points (6-of-16 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), four rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in a 120-115 win over the Timberwolves on Thursday.
Analysis: It has been an underwhelming season for White, and while he didn't shoot as efficiently in this game, it was his third straight with at least 20 point. During that time, he's averaging 24.3 points, 4.3 assists and 5.3 three-pointers per game. He's starting to figure things out, and he'll look to stay hot in their next game against the Celtics on Saturday. |

Josh Giddey Josh Giddey turns in 21/6/5/2 line in return
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 5:45 PM
Josh Giddey returned to the lineup on Thursday and finished with 21 points (7-of-13 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), six rebounds, five assists and two steals against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Giddey missed Chicago's last 11 games with a hamstring injury, but he returned to the lineup for this game. However, he was on a minutes restriction, so he came off the bench and only played 26 minutes. That meant no changes to the Bulls' starting lineup in this game, but that won't hold for long. Jalen Smith, who scored 17 points in this game, is the likely candidate to head back to the bench when that happens. For now, it was a strong first game back for Giddey. |

K.C. Johnson

Josh Giddey Josh Giddey (hamstring) available Thursday vs. MIN
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 12:37 PM
K.C. Johnson
Josh Giddey (hamstring) is available for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: After an 11-game absence, Giddey is back for the Bulls. He'll be restricted to 24 minutes in his first game back, which preserves some of Tre Jones' streaming value. For those who have been rostering Jones, he's worth holding onto until Giddey is allowed to play starters' minutes. |

Josh Giddey (hamstring) has been upgraded to probable for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Giddey has missed the last 11 games with a hamstring strain, with the Bulls going 6-5 in his absence. The 23-year-old has been tremendous this season, averaging almost a triple-double. His return would likely push Tre Jones back to the bench and cut into Ayo Dosunmu's usage. |

Coby White Coby White has 24 points, five threes in win
Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 4:45 PM
Coby White had 24 points (8-of-15 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), one rebound, six assists, one steal, one block and five three-pointers against the Clippers on Tuesday.
Analysis: White's scoring has been hit or miss recently as he has multiple games this month without even reaching double figures. On Tuesday, the 25-year-old point guard was mostly hitting with 24 points on 15 field goal attempts. White got very hot from behind the three-point line with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, sinking four threes in a row in 1:07 of game-time. He's provided ninth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Bulls have two more games this week, against the Timberwolves and Celtics. |

Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 4:37 PM
Nikola Vu?evi? had 19 points (8-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer in Tuesday's win over the Clippers.
Analysis: Vu?evi? sealed the victory for the Bulls with an incredible sequence of plays with about 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. The 35-year-old center ran the length of the floor and had a dunk in transition, had a block on the next defensive possession and then hit a three-pointer to put Chicago up 110-89. Vu?evi? has provided first-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Bulls have two more games this week, including matchups with the Timberwolves and Celtics. |

NBA Injury Report
Patrick Williams (ankle) is questionable to play against the Clippers on Tuesday.

NBA Injury Report
Josh Giddey (hamstring) is questionable to play against the Clippers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Giddey has been sidelined since December, but there is a chance he returns to the lineup to take on the Clippers. Tre Jones has been starting in his place, where he has had fantasy success this season. However, if Giddey returns, Jones will head back to the bench, which will eliminate the streaming value he held. |

Coby White White scores 24 points as Bulls topple Nets
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 3:26 PM
Coby White led the Bulls to a 124-102 victory over the Nets, recording 24 points (8-of-14 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 29 minutes.
Analysis: White fueled Chicago's offense early on with 16 first-half points as they shot 60 percent (12-of-20) from three-point range and 60 percent overall (28-of-47) to take a 70-51 halftime lead. The 25-year-old slashing guard has struggled to return to form after dealing with a calf injury earlier this month, but he looked sharp in this one, knocking down 7-of-11 attempts from beyond the arc. He'll continue to play a significant role with plenty of creation possessions while Josh Giddey (hamstring) remains sidelined. The Bulls have a three-game week on tap featuring matchups against the Clippers, Timberwolves and Celtics. |

Analysis: Vu?evi? got off to a strong start with 11 points and seven boards in the opening half and was able to cruise to his 17th double-double through 41 games. The 35-year-old veteran center has been a fantasy force over the past two weeks, averaging 19.3 points, 10.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 0.4 steals and 1.4 blocks during that seven-game span. |

Jalen Smith CHI starts White, Okoro, Buzelis, Smith, Vu?evi?
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 12:47 PM
NBA Lineups
Coby White, Isaac Okoro, Matas Buzelis, Jalen Smith and Nikola Vu?evi? will start Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Tre Jones, the usual replacement for Josh Giddey, will come off the bench on Sunday. He's been replaced in the starting five by Smith, who gives Chicago a bigger frontcourt playing alongside Vu?evi?. White will be the lone point guard on the floor in this lineup, which may raise his assist ceiling. |

Patrick Williams (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Injured during Friday's loss to the Nets, Williams will not play in Sunday's rematch. He hasn't been productive enough to merit being rostered in redraft leagues. There should be more playing time available to Kevin Huerter with Williams unavailable. |

Josh Giddey (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Giddey was initially doubtful for Sunday's game, so his absence going for another game is unsurprising. Tre Jones will continue to take on the starting point guard responsibilities, and he's worth streaming while Giddey sits. |
