Olbrich finished Sunday's 134-91 loss to the Heat with nine points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 11 minutes.
Jalen Smith (calf) missed his second straight game, while Nikola Vucevic was back in action after a maintenance day Saturday. Olbrich made the most of his limited run Sunday, and if the Bulls are able to move one or both of Vucevic and Smith at the trade deadline, the rookie could suddenly become relevant in fantasy hoops.

Bulls' Lachlan Olbrich: Upgraded to available
Rotowire
Olbrich (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Celtics.
As expected, Olbrich will be available off the bench Saturday. However, he's not expected to carry much fantasy upside in most formats, as he averages just 7.3 minutes per game this season.

Bulls' Lachlan Olbrich: Probable for Saturday
Rotowire
Olbrich is probable for Saturday's game against Boston with a right thoracic strain.
Olbrich is expected to be available off the bench Saturday. The rookie second-rounder didn't appear in Thursday's win over Minnesota, so his likely presence doesn't seem to affect the Chicago frontcourt rotation.

Bulls' Lachlan Olbrich: Avoids injury report for Sunday
Rotowire
Olbrich (illness) isn't listed on the Bulls' injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Nets.
Olbrich was inactive for the G League Windy City Bulls' most recent game Thursday against the San Diego Clippers while he recovered from an illness, but his absence from Chicago's injury report Sunday suggests that the two-way center is healthy again and has rejoined the parent club. While Olbrich looks like he'll be available Sunday, he hasn't been a regular part of the rotation when he's been up with the NBA team and may not be designated as one of the Bulls' active players for the contest.

Bulls' Lachlan Olbrich: Enters rotation Monday
Rotowire
Olbrich chipped in zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 12 minutes during Monday's 115-101 loss to the Celtics.
Olbrich had missed three straight games for the Bulls due to a left ankle sprain before he was cleared to play in advance of Saturday's 112-99 loss to the Hornets. The rookie center was left out of the rotation for that contest, but he received the chance to play some minutes behind Nikola Vucevic on Monday with both Jalen Smith (concussion) and Zach Collins (toe) sitting out. However, once either or both of Smith or Collins return to action, Olbrich is likely to find himself back outside of the rotation.

Bulls' Lachlan Olbrich: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Olbrich (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Olbrich has missed time recently due to a sprained left ankle, though he's off the injury report ahead of Saturday's contest. The two-way player hasn't appeared in a game for the parent club since Dec. 7, so his availability shouldn't affect the Chicago rotation.

Bulls' Lachlan Olbrich: Another absence coming
Rotowire
Olbrich (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Olbrich rarely plays for the Bulls, so his absence won't affect the rotation. His next chance to play will come against the Magic on Friday.

Bulls' Lachlan Olbrich: Good to go Wednesday
Rotowire
Olbrich (calf) will be available Wednesday against the Nets.
With Zach Collins (wrist) and Jalen Smith (hamstring) both sidelined, Olbrich could potentially see minutes in the low teens Wednesday based on his last two outings -- he averaged 11.5 minutes in his last two appearances.

Bulls' Lachlan Olbrich: Probable for Wednesday
Rotowire
Olbrich (calf) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Olbrich played through a calf issue Monday, and it looks like he will play through it again Wednesday, barring any setbacks. The two-way player has not been a consistent part of the Bulls' rotation, appearing in only two games this season, both of which Jalen Smith (hamstring) and Zach Collins (wrist) were sidelined for. Smith and Collins are both questionable for Wednesday, and if neither plays, then Olbrich could remain in the rotation.
