Top Bulls News

  • Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Provides spark off bench

    Horton-Tucker chipped in 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Monday's 122-121 victory over the Raptors.

    Despite struggling with his outside shot, Horton-Tucker's 15 points were his most scored in a game since Nov. 29. The 24-year-old guard has displayed impressive efficiency this season, shooting 54.5 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from three.

  • Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Plays only 13 minutes

    Buzelis registered seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 13 minutes during Monday's 122-121 victory over the Raptors.

    Despite Zach LaVine (back) missing Monday's contest, Buzelis saw his fewest minutes since Nov. 29. Over his last six appearances, the rookie has averaged 9.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.3 blocks in 19.3 minutes per game. However, with Patrick Williams back in action and LaVine not expected to miss significant time, Buzelis' role may continue to shrink.

  • Bulls' Julian Phillips: Scores 10 points off bench

    Phillips produced 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one block and one steal in 12 minutes during Monday's 122-121 victory over Toronto.

    With Zach LaVine (back) sidelined and Josh Giddey (ankle) leaving the contest early, Phillips tied his season high with 10 points, a mark he hadn't reached since Nov. 9. Phillips' role has been inconsistent this season, but he gets minutes when the Bulls are shorthanded, though he hasn't produced enough to be relevant in standard fantasy leagues.

  • Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Scores 24 points Monday

    Vucevic finished Monday's 122-121 win over Toronto with 24 points (10-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 32 minutes.

    With Zach LaVine (back) sidelined, Vucevic embraced a more significant role on offense Monday, and the big man responded by posting his 14th appearance with at least 20 points in the current campaign. Vucevic has been very efficient of late and shows no signs of slowing down. Over his last five appearances, Vucevic is averaging 22.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 63.2 percent from the floor in that span.

  • Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Stuffs stat sheet Monday

    Dosunmu notched 12 points (5-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Monday's 122-121 win over the Raptors.

    Dosunmu didn't have his best shooting performance, as he ended with more field-goal attempts than points scored, but he salvaged his outing by posting a loaded still line and at least one tally in each of the five major categories. Dosunmu has started 11 games in a row for Chicago and has posted excellent numbers, averaging 15.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game in that stretch.

  • Bulls' Coby White: Scores 19 points in win Monday

    White supplied 19 points (5-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 122-121 victory over Toronto.

    White's final stat line looked good on the surface, as he surpassed the 15-point mark for the third time across his last four appearances while also contributing in other categories. However, the lack of efficiency remains an issue for the former UNC standout. Since returning from a two-game absence in early December due to an ankle injury, White is averaging 17.3 points, 5.0 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, but he's also shooting a meager 34.8 percent from the floor and 30.8 percent from three-point range.

  • Bulls' Josh Giddey: Shut down with ankle injury

    Giddey won't return to Monday's game against the Raptors after suffering a right ankle injury, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports. He registered 11 points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one block in 24 minutes before exiting.

    The team has yet to comment on the severity of Giddey's injury, though more information should come to light over the next day or so after imaging has taken place. Giddey's absence will free up more minutes for Lonzo Ball, Ayo Dosunmu and Talen Horton-Tucker the rest of the way Monday.

  • Bulls' Josh Giddey: Limps to locker room

    Giddey went to the locker room during Monday's game against the Raptors due to an apparent ankle injury, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Giddey exited the game halfway through the third quarter after appearing to roll his ankle on a closeout of an opposing shooter. He'll be taken to the back for additional testing to determine whether a return is on the table Monday.

  • Bulls' Jalen Smith: Retreating to bench Monday

    Smith is not in Chicago's starting lineup against Toronto on Monday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Smith made his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Friday against the Hornets due to Nikola Vucevic being sidelined with an illness. Smith made the most of his spot start by playing a season-high 29 minutes and finishing with 11 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and five blocks, but he'll return to the bench for Monday's contest due to Vucevic no longer dealing with his illness.

  • Bulls' Patrick Williams: Back in starting lineup

    Williams will start Monday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Following a 10-game absence, Williams returned to action Friday against the Hornets but played off the bench for the first time this season and saw only 14 minutes. However, with Zach LaVine (back) out Monday, Williams will get tossed back into an expanded role. As a starter this season (15 games), Williams has averaged 9.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 28.7 minutes per game.

  • Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Good to go Monday

    Vucevic (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Raptors.

    As expected, Vucevic has been upgraded from probable to available and will return to action Monday after missing his first game of the season last Friday due to an illness. Over his last five appearances, Vucevic has averaged 23.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 31.2 minutes per game.

  • Bulls' Lonzo Ball: Playing Monday vs. Toronto

    Ball (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Raptors.

    Ball has been on the Bulls' injury report as of late due to left knee injury management, but he will continue to play through the issue Monday. Over his last six outings, Ball has averaged 5.8 points, 3.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals over 17.7 minutes per game.

  • Bulls' Zach LaVine: Won't play Monday

    LaVine (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    LaVine has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss his first game since Nov. 7. Coach Billy Donovan doesn't think the back issue will be a long-term injury but said LaVine has been tight during recent games, so the hope is a few days off will get him back to 100 percent. LaVine's next chance to suit up will come Thursday in Boston, while Matas Buzelis, Julian Phillips and Talen Horton-Tucker are candidates for increased roles against the Raptors. Patrick Williams returned to action Friday against the Hornets following a 10-game absence, but he played only 14 minutes and figures to remain on a minutes restriction Monday.

  • Bulls' Dalen Terry: Sitting Monday vs. Toronto

    Terry (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Terry will miss a second straight game due to a right knee injury, and his next chance to play will be Thursday against the Celtics. With Terry and Zach LaVine (back) both sidelined Monday, that opens the door for Talen Horton-Tucker, Ayo Dosunmu and Matas Buzelis to see increased playing time.

  • Bulls' E.J. Liddell: Remains out Monday

    Liddell (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors.

    Liddell will miss a second straight game due to a sore left knee. However, the two-way player hasn't been a regular part of the Bulls' NBA rotation, so his ongoing absence shouldn't impact fantasy hoops.
