Coby White

CHI Guard #0

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Coby White (calf) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Pacers.

White said on Wednesday that he hopes to be available for Friday’s game, but he was more certain about his chances of playing on Sunday against the Warriors. Ayo Dosunmu played 36 minutes as his replacement in the starting lineup on Wednesday and would be in line for a similar workload on Friday. Due to a sprained thumb, Dosunmu is also questionable for Friday.
Patrick Williams

CHI Forward #44

Patrick Williams (wrist) and Dalen Terry (calf) are probable for Friday’s game against the Pacers.

Williams and Terry are on track to play Friday night, which is good news for a Bulls squad that has struggled with injuries recently. That said, neither has been consistent enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues. Feel free to leave Williams and Terry on the waiver wire.
Jalen Smith

CHI Forward-Center #25

Jalen Smith (hamstring) is doubtful for Friday’s game against the Pacers.

Smith is on track to miss a fourth consecutive game with a strained left hamstring. Who assumes the backup center minutes depends on the availability of Zach Collins (wrist), who is questionable. If he can’t make his season debut, Lachlan Olbrich will once again take on the responsibility of backing up Nikola Vučević.
Isaac Okoro

CHI Forward-Guard #35

Isaac Okoro (back) is doubtful for Friday’s game against the Pacers.

Okoro has missed Chicago’s last six games, and the doubtful tag suggests he’ll miss a seventh on Friday. His availability does not affect fantasy basketball, but it does impact the minutes available to Ayo Dosunmu and Julian Phillips. While Dosunmu should already be rostered in some 12-team leagues, Phillips is not productive enough to merit streaming.
Tre Jones

CHI Guard #30

Tre Jones (ankle) is doubtful for Friday’s game against the Pacers.

Jones did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Nets and appears likely to miss another game on Friday. How impactful his absence would be depends on Coby White’s availability, who also sat out Chicago’s most recent game. Dalen Terry and Jevon Carter played 18 and 16 minutes off the bench, respectively, and could take on similar roles on Friday.
Ayo Dosunmu

CHI Guard #11

Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Pacers.

Dosunmu is dealing with a sprained thumb on his right (shooting) hand. Due to the absences of multiple players, he has taken on an expanded role within the Bulls’ rotation, providing reliable late-round value whether he starts or comes off the bench. With Kevin Huerter out and Tre Jones doubtful, Dosunmu will again figure prominently in the rotation if he plays.
Zach Collins

CHI Forward-Center #12

Zach Collins (wrist) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Pacers.

Collins did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Nets despite participating in pregame shootaround. His return would impact the center rotation behind starter Nikola Vučević, with Lachlan Olbrich taking on that role recently. With Jalen Smith considered doubtful, Collins may be asked to take on the backup responsibilities immediately if he’s available.
Josh Giddey

CHI Guard #3

Josh Giddey had 28 points (10-of-14 FGs, 8-of-11 FTs), 11 rebounds and 11 assists against the Nets on Wednesday.

Giddey’s triple-double was his fifth of the season and 23rd of his career. The 23-year-old shooting guard was highly efficient with 28 points on 14 attempts and 11 assists to just three turnovers. Giddey has returned fifth-round value so far this season.
Lachlan Olbrich

CHI Center #47

Lachlan Olbrich (calf) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Nets.

Olbrich has been upgraded from probable to available, and he will once again serve as the backup center. While this will be valuable playing time for the rookie center, he’s unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball. He should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.
Patrick Williams

CHI Forward #44

Patrick Williams (wrist) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Nets.

Williams is available despite his appearance on the injury report with a wrist injury. Even with the Bulls dealing with a bout of injuries, the 24-year-old forward hasn’t seen his minutes increase. Williams isn’t worth holding in most fantasy leagues at this point.
