Dillingham

Acquired from the Timberwolves at the trade deadline, Dillingham struggled with a right wrist injury early in his arrival in the Windy City. However, the second-year guard made strides down the stretch, shooting just over 46 percent from the field in April. With Josh Giddey under contract for the next three seasons, Dillingham’s best opportunity at playing time in 2026-27 is likely to be as the backup point guard if he can win the job in training camp.

Recording his second 20-point game of the season, Dillingham finished Sunday’s defeat with his first career 25/5/5 stat line. The second-year guard was responsible for five turnovers, but the overall output was encouraging. With the Bulls needing to hire a new executive VP of basketball operations and a new general manager, it’s unclear what opportunities Dillingham will have next season. For now, he should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Simons is one of a handful of Bulls that will sit out the last two games of the regular season. Collin Sexton will see plenty of minutes with Josh Giddey (hamstring) also out while Rob Dillingham should have a significant bench role.

Dillingham is seeing more minutes with Josh Giddey (hamstring) out lately and he capitalized on his opportunity Tuesday against the Wizards. The 21-year-old shooting guard dropped a season-high 26 points and five three-pointers in 27 minutes off the bench. A top-10 pick in 2024, Dillingham showed he could be a player to watch going forward.

Down one of its top scorers, leading passers, and best rebounders, Chicago could find itself in a tough battle with Indiana on Wednesday. However, Giddey’s absence should open the door for players like Collin Sexton and Rob Dillingham to see more minutes. Sexton, on the heels of a 20-point outing, could be a nice player for fantasy managers to stream.

Dillingham will suit up despite dealing with patellar tendinitis in both knees. He has had success on offense recently, scoring in double figures in six of his last seven games, and he’ll continue to be a sparkplug off the bench for Chicago.

Dillingham is dealing with patellar tendinitis in both of his knees. With the Bulls headed for the draft lottery, rolling the dice on anyone health-wise feels unlikely. If Dillingham can’t play, Tre Jones and Collin Sexton can absorb those minutes.

There’s no clear timeline for either Simons or Ivey to return to Chicago’s lineup. Until the pair is cleared to return, Tre Jones and Rob Dillingham should handle additional responsibilities.

Sexton was back in the Bulls’ rotation on Wednesday after missing the previous four games, playing 18 minutes off the bench. He’ll likely take on a similar workload if allowed to play, making fellow reserve Rob Dillingham a more attractive option in deep leagues.

Collin Sexton’s return from a four-game absence on Wednesday didn’t seem to impact Dillingham’s production. The young point guard secured a fourth consecutive double-digit scoring performance while making solid contributions as a passer, again. Dillingham has played north of 20 minutes per game pretty consistently of late. And given his production, he could become an interesting streaming option should any of the main guards ahead of him in the rotation miss time.
