Jalen Smith (finger) questionable vs. Cleveland

Jalen Smith

CHI Forward-Center #25

Player Stats

Jalen Smith (finger) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Cavaliers.

Due to a sprained finger, Smith did not play in Saturday’s win over the Timberwolves. With Nic Claxton also sitting, the Bulls started Zach Collins at center, and he played 28 minutes. Claxton is available for Monday’s game, so he could make his first start of the season if Smith can’t play.

Zach Collins

CHI Forward-Center #12

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Josh Giddey, Norman Powell, Isaac Okoro, Matas Buzelis and Zach Collins will start against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Collins will get the starting nod with both Jalen Smith (finger) and Nic Claxton (hamstring) sidelined. Collins has barely played this season, but he will be asked to play significant minutes in this game, with Orlando Robinson likely filling out the backup center minutes.
Jalen Smith

CHI Forward-Center #25

Jalen Smith (finger) has been ruled out against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Smith will be sidelined for the second leg of this back-to-back, and Nic Claxton will be as well. Zach Collins should start at center, with Orlando Robinson filling out the backup minutes down low.
Nic Claxton

CHI Center #9

Nic Claxton (hamstring) has been ruled out against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Claxton will be unavailable for this game, which is the second leg of a back-to-back. Jalen Smith is out as well, so Zach Collins and Orlando Robinson should fill out the center minutes.
Jalen Smith

CHI Forward-Center #25

Jalen Smith (finger) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Smith is questionable with a finger injury, which potentially puts the Bulls in a bind with Nic Claxton (hamstring) also listed as questionable. Zach Collins will likely play significant minutes if both Smith and Claxton are ruled out.
Jalen Smith

CHI Forward-Center #25

Jalen Smith amassed 23 points (8-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and five three-pointers in Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs.

Faced with the challenge of going up against Victor Wembanyama, Smith had his best offensive game of the season on Wednesday. His 23 points were a season high, and this was Smith’s first 20-point game since February 1, 2024, as a member of the Pacers. He also hit a career-high five three-pointers on five attempts. With Nic Claxton (hamstring) still under a minutes limit, Smith played 30 minutes on Wednesday, which preserves his fantasy value in the short term.
Zach Collins

CHI Forward-Center #12

Zach Collins (illness) will be available to play against the Spurs on Wednesday

Zach Collins will give it a go against the Spurs on Wednesday. His role is off the bench and shouldn’t be a factor in most fantasy leagues.
Zach Collins

CHI Forward-Center #12

Zach Collins (illness) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Spurs.

Due to a respiratory illness, Collins did not play in Sunday’s loss to the 76ers. His availability does not impact fantasy basketball, especially with Nic Claxton back from a strained hamstring.
Nic Claxton

CHI Center #9

Nic Claxton (hamstring) recorded four points (2-of-3 FGs), four rebounds, four assists and two blocks in Sunday’s loss to the 76ers.

Injured early in the preseason, Claxton was limited to 16-20 minutes in his Bulls debut on Sunday. He played 18 minutes and recorded a few rebounds, assists and blocks. Claxton came off the bench, with Jalen Smith (17/8/2, four blocks and two three-pointers) remaining in the starting lineup. The roles will reverse eventually, but not until Claxton’s minutes restriction is lifted.
Jalen Smith

CHI Forward-Center #25

Jalen Smith (finger) is available for Sunday’s game against the 76ers.

Smith was initially probable, so the status upgrade was expected. He’ll remain in the starting lineup, with Nic Claxton (hamstring) limited to 16-20 minutes in his Bulls debut.
Nic Claxton

CHI Center #9

Nic Claxton (hamstring) is available for Sunday’s game against the 76ers.

Claxton is available to make his season debut after a preseason hamstring strain. He’ll come off the bench on Sunday, and the Bulls will limit him to 16-20 minutes. Jalen Smith remains the starter for now, but his fantasy value will take a hit once that changes.

Jackson injured his left foot during Saturday’s win over the Nets. While reports suggest the injury could be serious, the Grizzlies have yet to provide an update, so he’s day-to-day for now. Jeremi grant’s return from a head injury will help Memphis account for Jackson’s absence.

Isaiah Stewart (illness) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Stewart has started the Grizzlies’ last two games at center, filling in for the injured Zach Edey (ankle). Both are questionable for Monday, as is Quentin Post (concussion).
