Leonard Miller

CHI Forward #11

Leonard Miller dropped 15 points (6-of-8 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, one steal, two blocks and two three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Bucks.

At this point in the season, there’s no shortage of fantasy managers scouring the waiver wire for players with silly season standout potential. Could Miller be one of those options in Chicago? After playing no more than seven minutes in any of his first four games as a Bull, the third-year forward has played 23 and 27 minutes in the last two. And Miller has been productive, hitting double figures in scoring in both and recording a complete stat line on Sunday. Even with the Bulls playing three games in Week 19, keep an eye on the 6-foot-10 Miller.
Collin Sexton

CHI Guard #2

Collin Sexton amassed 22 points (9-of-14 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, three steals and three three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Bucks.

For the third time this season and first since being traded to the Bulls, Sexton scored 22 points in a game on Sunday. While he was responsible for four turnovers, the positives far outweighed that negative as the Bulls ended their 11-game losing streak. Sexton shot over 50 percent from the field, and his stat line included three steals, matching his season-high. Counting Sunday, he has recorded at least one steal in seven straight games.
Matas Buzelis

CHI Forward #14

Matas Buzelis accounted for 20 points (7-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and four three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Bucks.

Buzelis was one of the bright spots for the Bulls as their losing streak reached 11 games, having scored at least 15 points in four straight games entering Sunday. The second-year forward put forth another quality effort on Sunday, making it three consecutive games with at least 20 points, as he helped snap the skid. All that Buzelis’ stat line lacked was a blocked shot, but there won’t be many fantasy managers who complain about that. The Bulls begin a three-game Week 19 on Tuesday against the Thunder.
Josh Giddey

CHI Guard #3

Josh Giddey finished Sunday’s win over the Bucks with 20 points (7-of-14 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), 14 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, one block and five three-pointers.

After going winless in February, the worst month in franchise history, Giddey and the Bulls ended their 11-game skid with a blowout of the Bucks. Chicago went on a 27-0 run during the third and fourth quarters, and Milwaukee scored just eight points in the final frame. Giddey made some history during the win, recording his eighth triple-double of the season. That’s the most that he has recorded in a season, and the guard is up to 15 as a Bull, tied with Scottie Pippen for second on the all-time list. (Michael Jordan had 28.) The Bulls play three games in Week 19, starting with the Thunder on Tuesday.
Tre Jones

CHI Guard #30

Tre Jones, Josh Giddey, Isaac Okoro, Matas Buzelis and Guerschon Yabusele will start Sunday’s game against the Bucks.

Jones is back in the starting lineup, pushing Collin Sexton to the bench. Before the game, Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said that he’s comfortable with Jones playing 26-28 minutes, while Josh Giddey will max out at 30 minutes.
Josh Giddey

CHI Guard #3

Josh Giddey amassed 15 points (6-of-9 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, nine assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

Giddey’s nine assists were the most in a game for him since returning from the hamstring injury that sidelined him for eight games. Add in the efficient shooting and solid night on the glass, and fantasy managers had some things to work with on Thursday. Giddey played 28 minutes against the Trail Blazers, and it feels like he’s unlikely to get back into the 30s again this season. Rob Dillingham (5/2/5/3 with one three-pointer) played 23 minutes off the bench, and his opportunities may increase as the Bulls play out the string.
Nick Richards

CHI Center #13

Nick Richards finished Thursday’s loss to the Trail Blazers with 14 points (4-of-7 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds and one assist.

Richards was excellent against Portland, recording his first double-double of the season in 27 minutes off the bench. He played so well that Bulls head coach Billy Donovan inserted him into the lineup to begin the third quarter, with Guerschon Yabusele (six points, five rebounds, one assist and one block) being moved to the bench. With Jalen Smith (calf) out for the foreseeable future, Richards would be worth the risk in deep leagues if he can hold onto that starting center role.
Tre Jones

CHI Guard #30

Tre Jones notched 19 points (9-of-15 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), three rebounds and four assists in Thursday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

Injuries to Anfernee Simons and Jaden Ivey have essentially preserved Jones’ minutes, and he’s still capable of providing value when allowed to surpass 25 minutes. The Bulls’ guard logged 27 minutes against the Trail Blazers and replaced Collin Sexton (10 points, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers) in the lineup to begin the third quarter. While unlikely to be a factor in 12-team leagues, Jones is still holding on in some deeper formats.
Matas Buzelis

CHI Forward #14

Matas Buzelis accounted for 20 points (6-of-16 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

After scoring 32 points in Tuesday’s loss to the Hornets, Buzelis put up 20 more on Thursday. Unfortunately for him, it wasn’t enough to prevent an 11th straight defeat, capping the worst month in franchise history. Given where the Bulls are in the standings, the last month-plus should be a time when they lean heavily on Buzelis, figuring out what he can (and can’t) do with an eye toward the 2026-27 season. If so, that would benefit fantasy managers, even if the shooting efficiency can be problematic at times.
Collin Sexton

CHI Guard #2

Josh Giddey, Collin Sexton, Isaac Okoro, Matas Buzelis and Guerschon Yabusele will start against the Trail Blazers on Thursday.

With both Jalen Smith (calf) and Patrick Williams (quad) set to miss at least a week, Sexton will fill out the open spot in the starting unit. Barring more changes from head coach Billy Donovan or other injuries, Sexton should start at least four games, making him worth streaming for now.
