Pistons' Kevin Huerter: Joining Pistons in three-team deal
Rotowire
The Pistons are acquiring Huerter (back), Dario Saric and a first-round pick swap in a three-team trade with the Bulls and Timberwolves on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Mike Conley and Jaden Ivey will head to the Bulls.
Huerter could play a significant role in Detroit. With Ronald Holland, Javonte Green and Caris LeVert all healthy, however, there's plenty of competition for playing time on the wing. Huerter has averaged 8.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 22.2 minutes per tilt in his last eight games.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Huerter (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
Huerter is in jeopardy of missing his second straight contest for Chicago. If he is able to get the green light, he'd likely see more usage than normal with Josh Giddey (hamstring) still on the shelf.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Huerter (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Huerter will be inactive for the first time since Dec. 12 while managing back spasms. The 27-year-old drew the start Saturday for the Bulls but has primarily worked off the bench this season, averaging 8.0 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 20.8 minutes over his past 10 appearances. Huerter's absence could open up additional reserve opportunities for Dalen Terry.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Gets starting nod
Rotowire
Huerter will enter the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Miami.
Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Coby White (calf) are both sidelined for the first leg of this back-to-back set, so Huerter is likely to see extended minutes and usage in this one. He's worth a long look as a short-term streaming play.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Drains four threes Thursday
Rotowire
Huerter provided 15 points (5-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Thursday's 116-113 loss to Miami.
Huerter has been impressing off the bench, scoring in double digits in seven of his last 11 outings. This was also the seventh time he drained at least four three-pointers, a season-high mark. Huerter could be in line for a bigger role after the trade deadline, although that depends on the personnel moves the Bulls make. For the time being, he should continue to be an option off the bench, a scenario that limits his upside in most formats.

Rotowire
Huerter ended with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Saturday's 114-111 win over Boston.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Ties season high with seven dimes
Rotowire
Huerter ended Tuesday's 138-110 win over the Clippers with 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal across 29 minutes.
The seven assists matched a season-high output from Huerter, who continues to play meaningful minutes for the Bulls amid Josh Giddey's (hamstring) absence. The sharpshooter has averaged 10.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 24.5 minutes per contest in 10 games this month.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Two points in 10 minutes
Rotowire
Huerter supplied two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound in 10 minutes during Friday's 112-109 loss to the Nets.
Huerter was barely noticeable, logging just 10 minutes, the fewest he has played since suffering an injury against the Magic on Dec 1. Although he has been a relatively consistent part of the rotation for much of the season, his production has fallen short of the mark on most nights. In 36 appearances, he has averaged 11.4 points and 1.6 three-pointers in 23.9 minutes per game.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Good to go Saturday
Rotowire
Huerter (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.
Huerter will shed his questionable tag due to a back issue and could see increased playing time with Josh Giddey (hamstring) out. Huerter has logged at least 24 minutes in each of his last five games (two starts), averaging 11.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 26.8 minutes per contest over that stretch.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Iffy for Saturday
Rotowire
Huerter (back) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.
Huerter remains day-to-day after being ruled out of Thursday's game against the Heat for the second leg of a back-to-back set. That game was ultimately postponed, however. If Huerter is unable to play Saturday, Ayo Dosunmu and Tre Jones could pick up some run for Chicago.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Won't play against Heat
Rotowire
Huerter is out for Thursday's game against Miami due to lower-back tightness.
Huerter is unavailable for the second part of the Bulls' back-to-back set Thursday. Saturday's contest against Dallas is his next opportunity to play. Despite the return of Coby White (calf), Ayo Dosunmu and Tre Jones should still see a rise in minutes Thursday.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Iffy for Thursday
Rotowire
Huerter is questionable for Thursday's game against the Heat with lower back tightness.
Thursday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Bulls may be weighing a maintenance day here. During Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Huerter logged 30 minutes with eight points, four assists, three rebounds and one steal.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Joining starting five
Rotowire
Huerter is starting Monday's game against the Celtics, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Bostonreports.
Huerter has provided a spark off the bench for the Bulls recently, resulting in his first start since Dec. 1. There will continue to be more minutes to go around with Josh Giddey (hamstring) out and Coby White on a minutes restriction Monday night, so it wouldn't be a shock to see Huerter approach the 30-minute mark.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Provides spark off bench
Rotowire
Huerter totaled 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Friday's 121-114 win over the Magic.
Huerter saw more opportunities Friday without the help of Coby White (calf) and Josh Giddey (hamstring), and he stepped up in a big way. The Maryland product reached the 20-point threshold for the first time since Nov. 17 and has now put up double digits in back-to-back games. The Bulls will presumably continue to lean on Huerter for scoring help while missing two starters in the backcourt.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Corrals six boards off bench
Rotowire
Huerter amassed eight points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 22 minutes during Monday's 136-101 loss to Minnesota.
Coby White aggravated a right calf injury during the first quarter of Monday's defeat, which could open the door for extra minutes in the Chicago backcourt going forward. Huerter has been solid in nine-category fantasy leagues, having averaged 11.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.3 three-pointers per contest in his last eight outings.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Drains four threes Sunday
Rotowire
Huerter finished Sunday's 152-150 win over the Hawks with 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, five assists, one block and one steal over 21 minutes off the bench.
The 27-year-old wing has looked good as part of the second unit since returning from an adductor strain. In four games since getting back in the lineup, Huerter has averaged 14.3 points, 3.3 threes, 3.0 boards, 2.3 assists and 1.8 steals in 22.8 minutes while shooting 44.8 percent (13-for-29) from beyond the arc. Sunday's four made three-pointers also tied his season high.

Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Hits four triples in return
Rotowire
Huerter (adductor) recorded 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four steals and three rebounds in 24 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 loss to the Pelicans.
Huerter delivered an excellent performance in his return from a four-game absence due to an adductor strain, scoring efficiently while setting a new season high in steals. Though he's been a strong per-minute producer through 20 appearances this season with averages of 12.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.6 triples and 0.9 steals across 24.1 minutes per contest, Huerter has often benefited from the Bulls not having their full complement of backcourt players available for many of those contests. Josh Giddey was limited to 24 minutes Sunday due in part to foul trouble, and Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) could be back in action for the Bulls' next game Wednesday versus Cleveland, so it wouldn't be surprising if Huerter's playing time took a hit moving forward, despite his solid outing against the Pelicans.
