Collin Sexton Collin Sexton starts, scores 15 points vs. Boston
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 4:11 PM
Collin Sexton recorded 15 points (6-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, two steals and one three-pointer in Wednesday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: There was some confusion about the Bulls' starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game, but ultimately Sexton started. He had a decent night, but not the kind of performance that would change many minds regarding his fantasy value. Jaden Ivey came off the bench against the Celtics, finishing with 10 points, three rebounds, four assists, one block and one three-pointer in 29 minutes. Both players are deep-league options at best moving forward. |

Patrick Williams CHI starting Sexton, Simons, P-Will, Buzelis, Yabu
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 1:14 PM
NBA Lineups
Collin Sexton, Anfernee Simons, Patrick Williams, Matas Buzelis and Guerschon Yabusele will start against the Celtics on Wednesday.
Analysis: Williams will replace Isaac Okoro (knee) in the starting unit for Chicago's final game before the All-Star break. The other change to the starting unit is that Sexton will start, which pushes Jaden Ivey to the bench. Ivey should still play a significant role as a reserve. |

NBA Injury Report
Isaac Okoro (knee) has been ruled out against the Celtics on Wednesday.
Analysis: Okoro was a late addition to the injury report and will now miss a game for the first time since early December. Patrick Williams is the likely candidate to replace him in the starting unit, though Chicago will have to rely on smaller lineups in this game. |

Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 11:41 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tre Jones (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Jones has now missed Chicago's last 11 games with a strained left hamstring. With Josh Giddey (hamstring) also out, the Bulls have relied on a starting backcourt of Jaden Ivey and Anfernee Simons, with Collin Sexton coming off the bench. Expect more of the same against the Celtics. |

Jalen Smith Jalen Smith (calf) downgraded to out vs. Boston
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 11:38 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Smith (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Smith will miss a third consecutive game with a strained right calf. While Guerschon Yabusele has replaced him in the starting lineup, Nick Richards has been more productive despite coming off the bench. |

Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 11:38 AM
NBA Injury Report
Josh Giddey (hamstring) has been ruled out against the Celtics on Wednesday.
Analysis: Giddey will remain sidelined for an eighth straight game, which will keep him out through the All-Star break. Anfernee Simons and Jaden Ivey will continue to start in the backcourt, with Collin Sexton filling out the reserve minutes. |

Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 4:54 AM
Isaac Okoro (knee) was downgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Okoro was added to the injury report Wednesday morning with left knee soreness. The 25-year-old small forward is questionable for the game against the Celtics. With Josh Giddey, Tre Jones and Jalen Smith all listed as doubtful, the Bulls could be severely shorthanded on Wednesday. |

Josh Giddey Josh Giddey, Tre Jones out Wednesday vs. Celtics
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 9:51 AM
NBA Injury Report
Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Tre Jones (hamstring) are out for Wednesday's matchup with the Celtics.
Analysis: Both players are dealing with left hamstring strains, and neither are expected to take the court against Boston. Collin Sexton is the most obvious beneficiary of these absences, and Jaden Ivey will earn some extra run, too. |

Jalen Smith Jalen Smith (calf) doubtful Wednesday vs. BOS
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 9:29 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Smith (calf) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup with the Celtics.
Analysis: Smith is still dealing with a right calf strain, and it will keep him out for a third straight contest. Guerschon Yabusele and Nick Richards will fill in at center until Smith returns. |

Nick Richards Nick Richards records 12 points, five âstocks'
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 4:15 PM
Nick Richards accounted for 12 points (4-of-7 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, two steals and three blocks in Monday's loss to the Nets.
Analysis: Making his second appearance as a Bull, Richards once again came off the bench on Monday. And the 2020 second-round pick has taken advantage of his opportunity in Chicago. In two games, Richards has totaled 26 points, 13 rebounds, three steals and three blocks. Guerschon Yabusele (three points, two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer in 22 minutes) once again stepped in for the injured Jalen Smith, but deep league managers should not sleep on Richards, especially after the All-Star break. |

Collin Sexton Collin Sexton chips in with 21 points vs. Brooklyn
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 4:14 PM
Collin Sexton finished Monday's loss to the Nets with 21 points (7-of-18 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Sexton hasn't needed much time to figure out where he can get his shots in Chicago. After putting up 14 in his Bulls' debut on Saturday, he attempted 18 on Monday. Chicago not having Josh Giddey or Tre Jones due to injury has freed up additional opportunities for the healthy guards, and Sexton can certainly get his points under those circumstances. He isn't going to offer much value outside of points, but he may be worth streaming in deep leagues on Wednesday if Giddey and Jones remain out. |

Anfernee Simons Anfernee Simons drops team-high 23 points vs. BKN
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 4:13 PM
Anfernee Simons recorded 23 points (10-of-17 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, one block and two three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Nets.
Analysis: Having scored 15 points in his Bulls' debut on Saturday, Simons recorded his first 20-point game on Monday. Add in the rebounds and assists, and this was a solid night at the office for the guard. However, Simons was also responsible for five turnovers, which takes away some of the luster from that stat line. As long as the Bulls remain without Josh Giddey (hamstring), Simons will continue to have a high usage. The Bulls visit Boston, where Simons began this season, on Wednesday in their final game before the All-Star break. |

Tre Jones Tre Jones (hamstring) downgraded to out vs. BKN
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 12:07 PM
NBA Injury Report
Tre Jones (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Jones will miss a tenth straight game on Monday has be continues to recover from a strained left hamstring. With the Bulls' additions at the trade deadline and Collin Sexton now part of the bench unit, Jones' absence won't have a significant impact on fantasy basketball. |

Jalen Smith Jalen Smith (calf) remains out vs. Brooklyn
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 12:05 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Smith (calf) has been ruled out against the Nets on Monday.
Analysis: This will be a second straight absence for Smith, who also missed Saturday's game against Denver. Guerschon Yabusele started in his place in that game, with Nick Richards filling out the reserve minutes. Yabusele should remain a starter for at least one more game. |
|
Josh Giddey Josh Giddey (hamstring) downgraded to out vs. BKN
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 12:04 PM
NBA Injury Report
Josh Giddey (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Initially doubtful for Monday's game, Giddey will be sidelined for a seventh consecutive contest with a strained left hamstring. Since the trade deadline, the Bulls have started Jaden Ivey and Anfernee Simons in the backcourt. That's unlikely to change against the Nets. |
|
Jalen Smith Jalen Smith (calf) questionable vs. Brooklyn
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 8:41 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Smith (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Smith missed Saturday's loss to the Nuggets with a strained right calf. Guerschon Yabusele played 26 minutes as his replacement in the starting lineup, with Nick Richards playing 19 minutes off the bench in his Bulls' debut. That will likely be the rotation on Monday if Smith remains out. |
|
Tre Jones Tre Jones (hamstring) doubtful vs. Brooklyn
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 8:37 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tre Jones (hamstring) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Jones is on track to miss a tenth straight game with a strained left hamstring. With the Bulls having added Jaden Ivey, Anfernee Simons and Collin Sexton at the trade deadline, it will be challenging for Jones to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball once he's cleared to play. |
|
Josh Giddey Josh Giddey (hamstring) doubtful vs. Brooklyn
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 8:34 AM
NBA Injury Report
Josh Giddey (hamstring) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Giddey is on track to miss a seventh straight game as he continues to recover from a strained left hamstring. The Bulls have gone with a starting backcourt of Jaden Ivey and Anfernee Simons since the trade deadline, and that's likely to remain the case on Monday. |

Anfernee Simons Anfernee Simons has 15/4/6 line in loss to Nuggets
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 5:10 PM
Anfernee Simons had 15 points (5-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, six assists and three three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Nuggets.
Analysis: Simons didn't have as good of a game as his Bulls debut where he had 22 points, but his 15-point effort was still encouraging for fantasy managers. The 26-year-old shooting guard played the most minutes, took the most shots and had the most assists on the Bulls. Simons is widely available in Yahoo! leagues and should be worth rostering in most leagues for the rest of the season. |

Jalen Smith Jalen Smith (calf) downgraded to out vs. Denver
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 12:25 PM
Joel Lorenzi
Jalen Smith (calf) is out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Smith is out after straining his right calf during Thursday's loss to the Raptors. His absence means the Bulls will have to rely on Guerschon Yabusele and Nick Richards, with the latter making his first appearance since being acquired from the Bucks. |
