  • Bulls' Patrick Williams: Season-low 11 minutes

    Williams ended with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) over 11 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 victory over Cleveland.

    Williams officially bottomed out in the win, playing just 11 minutes, the fewest he has played all season. It appears that Williams' ceiling has all but disappeared, now serving as nothing more than a depth piece on a team with very little direction. In 25 games thus far, Williams is averaging just 7.4 points and 1.5 three-pointers in 20.8 minutes per game.

    Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Dry spell continues

    Buzelis amassed nine points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 win over Cleveland.

    Buzelis continues to play limited minutes despite starting, resulting in muted production over the past week. In three games during that time, he has averaged just 9.3 points and 1.0 blocks in 23.2 minutes per contest. As per usual, it appears the Bulls will once again strive for mediocrity by securing a play-in spot. Buzelis is someone fantasy managers will want to try and hold, although moving on from him might help you avoid some sleepless nights.

  • Tre Jones PG | CHI

    Bulls' Tre Jones: Double-doubles in win

    Jones registered 11 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, 11 assists and three steals in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 victory over the Cavaliers.

    Jnoes recorded just his second double-double of the season, doing all of his work in only 24 minutes. All in all, it's been a strong season for Jones, putting up top 75 value in standard leagues, averaging 12.4 points, 5.2 assists and 1.7 steals in 28.0 minutes per game. While there are still doubts when it comes to his long-term role, his assist and steal numbers are consistent enough to at least warrant attention in the majority of leagues. The eventual return of Ayo Dosunmu from a thumb injury will complicate things, but until then, feel free to give Jones a look if he is available.

  • Jaylon Tyson SF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Drops 21 points in start

    Tyson notched 21 points (8-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 loss to the Bulls.

    Tyson moved back into the starting lineup at the expense of De'Andre Hunter, a move that yielded immediate results. While fantasy managers had been calling for this move for some time, it is now officially time to ensure Tyson is rostered in all formats. In 12 games over the past month, Tyson has flirted with top 50 value in standard leagues, averaging 15.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers in 30.7 minutes per contest.

  • Dean Wade PF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Offers nothing in start

    Wade closed with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 loss to the Bulls.

    Wade remained in the starting lineup, although he offered nothing in terms of tangible production. Coming off arguably his best performance of the season, this effort was more in line with what we have come to expect from Wade. Through 26 games, he has averaged just 5.4 points and 1.0 three-pointers in 22.5 minutes per game. Even if he continues to start, there is no reason to pay too much attention, outside of deeper formats.

  • Cavaliers' De'Andre Hunter: Modest production continues

    Hunter notched 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 loss to Chicago.

    Hunter shifted to the bench Wednesday, a move that sounds as though it is going to hold, at least for the foreseeable future. After a strong start to the season, it appears as though the coaching staff is going in a different direction. In 13 appearances over the past month, Hunter is averaging 12.9 points and 1.9 three-pointers in 28.1 minutes per game, leaving him well outside the top 200 in standard formats.

  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Double-doubles with five stocks

    Gobert recorded 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, one steal and four blocks across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-110 loss to the Grizzlies.

    Gobert was limited to just seven points his last time out, but Minnesota did a much better job of keeping him involved in the offense in this one, consistently feeding him in the low post. Gobert has scored in double figures in three of the past four games, and he racked up four blocks Wednesday evening after having accumulated just two in his previous three outings.

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Double-doubles with three swats

    Jackson went off for 28 points (10-18 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, one steal and three blocks over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 116-110 win over the Timberwolves.

    Jackson had his best rebounding game of the season as he notched his first double-double of the year, and he was superb on defense, helping hold Julius Randle to 9-for-21 shooting from the floor. While the Grizzlies opened the season 4-11, they've gone 9-3 over their past 12 games and will have a chance to get their record to .500 Saturday versus the Wizards.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Bounces back with 32 points

    Mitchell generated 32 points (11-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five assists and one rebound across 33 minutes of Wednesday's 127-111 loss to the Bulls.

    Mitchell was held to 17 points on 6-of-24 shooting his last time out, including going 1-of-11 from beyond the arc. He rebounded Wednesday, delivering 32 points on more efficient shooting. Mitchell is one of four players across the league currently averaging more than 30 points per game, and he's chipping in averages of 5.5 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals per contest as well.

  • Josh Giddey PG | CHI

    Bulls' Josh Giddey: Snares triple-double

    Giddey generated 23 points (8-18 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and a block across 34 minutes of Wednesday's 127-111 win over the Cavaliers.

    Giddey had an outstanding night from beyond the arc, tying his career high with five makes. He also delivered his sixth triple-double in 24 games this season, which is one fewer than he had in 70 regular-season games during the 2024-25 campaign. The 23-year-old guard is on pace to set career highs in points, rebounds and assists.
