Bulls' Zach Collins: Scores 10 points in win
Rotowire
Collins posted 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 win over the Cavaliers.
Collins logged his second double-digit scoring affair Wednesday and has solidified his spot in the rotation. If Chicago continues to give minutes to all three of its centers, it would be hard to justify rostering Collins, as his workload would simply not be enough. However, if either Jalen Smith or Nikola Vucevic were to go down, Collins would be a high-priority add.

Bulls' Zach Collins: Flirts with double-double
Rotowire
Collins ended Friday's 129-126 win over the Hornets with 16 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block across 20 minutes.
Collins had his best game of the season, falling two rebounds short of a double-double. With Nikola Vucevic struggling once again, Collins and Jalen Smith took it upon themselves to up the ante. While Collins does have a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, as long as Chicago is running a three-center rotation, it's hard to see either Collins or Smith having sustainable value. At this point, managers in standard leagues should simply monitor the situation.

Bulls' Zach Collins: Upgraded to questionable
Rotowire
Collins (wrist) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Collins has yet to make his 2025-26 season debut, but that could change Wednesday after he went to the G League on Tuesday to practice. The Bulls have struggled mightily to protect the paint this season, so Collins' addition to the rotation would be a welcome sight. Jalen Smith (hamstring) is also questionable, so there could be plenty of minutes available behind Nikola Vucevic on Wednesday.
