White

White returned after missing three games with a calf injury. The 25-year-old point guard played just 26 minutes due to a minutes restriction, but still led the Bulls is points and field goal attempts. The Bulls close out Week 7 with a matchup against the Warriors on Sunday and White should see more minutes then.

White will be back after a three-game absence, but he will be limited to around 24 minutes. It wouldn’t be surprising if he came off the bench, though with Ayo Dosunmu and Tre Jones both out, he could end up starting. Dalen Terry and Jevon Carter should play increased roles.

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.

White has already been ruled out against Brooklyn on Wednesday, but that could be his final absence. Ayo Dosunmu has been starting in his place, but he’ll return to a reserve role when White is back. That won’t eliminate all the value he held, but it will certainly limit his production. The good news for managers with White rostered is that he should be back by the weekend.

White will miss a third straight game with this calf injury. He wasn’t initially on the injury report on Monday, but he was added and eventually ruled out. It seemed like he was in the clear, but now he’ll continue to miss time. Ayo Dosunmu should continue to start in his place, and with Kevin Huerter (hamstring) also out, Tre Jones could start as well, though he should at least see a bump in minutes.

With Kevin Huerter exiting Monday’s game after six minutes with an adductor injury and Coby White (calf) already out, more minutes were available to Jones. He made the most of his opportunity, recording his second 20-point game of the season and first since November 10. Jones’ fantasy value in the short term depends on the availability of White and Huerter. If those two remain out, Jones will be worth streaming for the rest of Week 7, with the Bulls playing three more games.

White was not initially listed on the injury report, but he was added as doubtful earlier this afternoon and has now bee ruled out. Ayo Dosunmu started in his place on Saturday and should remain in that role once again, with Tre Jones taking on extra minutes off the bench.

White sat out Saturday against the Pacers for injury management on the second leg of Chicago’s back-to-back set. He was off the injury report on Sunday evening but added back in on Monday afternoon. White’s presumed absence from Monday’s game means Tre Jones and Ayo Dosunmu should see additional run.

White sat out the second leg of Chicago’s back-to-back on Saturday, but Bulls coach Billy Donovan said that would be the final back-to-back that they will officially rule him out for. He’ll be back to his typical role on Monday, which will push Ayo Dosunmu to the bench.

Initially questionable for Saturday’s game, White will not play due to right calf injury management. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said that this is the last back-to-back that White will be officially ruled out for. While that doesn’t guarantee the guard will be available for both games of future back-to-backs, it is a step in the right direction. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, with Tre Jones being the most likely replacement. When allowed to start, Jones is worth streaming in deep leagues.
