Chicago Bulls guard/forward Zach LaVine (adductor) is probable heading into Wednesday's game in New York. His presence on the injury report isn't anything new, so he should be out there against the Knicks, barring a setback. LaVine's name has been tied to trade rumors for years. Yet, things intensified during the offseason. But he remains with the Bulls, at least for now, and has averaged 22.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 41.7% shooting from behind the arc. With that in mind, if LaVine's health takes a turn for the worse before Wednesday's contest, Ayo Dosunmu, averaging 14.7 points in three starts this season, could find a place in most fantasy lineups.
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (groin) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. LaVine was tagged as probable coming into this game, but there was some doubt surrounding his status after playing 31 minutes in their last game. He missed three games due to this groin issue, but appears to be good to go now. The oft-injured guard has his problems staying on the court, but he's a reliable option when healthy. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable getting him back in their lineups for Monday.
Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (illness) remains on the injury report as he deals with an illness and he's officially listed as questionable for the contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 24-year-old was previously listed with a knee injury ahead of their game on Saturday and was able to play through it. The illness is a new issue appearing on the injury report, so this could come down to a game-time decision. If he's unable to play, Julian Phillips and Matas Buzelis may see some extra minutes from the bench while Patrick Williams could get some extended time too.
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (adductor) is still dealing with a right adductor strain but he was able to return from a three-game absence on Saturday. Now, he's listed as probable to play again on Monday versus the undefeated Cleveland Cavaliers. The two-time All-Star played a full 31 minutes on Saturday so he shouldn't be limited on Monday either. The Cavaliers are the lone undefeated team in the NBA and boast the league's number-one offense, so LaVine and company will be forced to try and match their firepower.
Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (knee) will be available for Saturday's matchup against Atlanta. The 24-year-old carries a knee problem, which has made him a regular on the injury report, but he's missed only one game this season. Working as the backup center, Smith has averaged 8.8 points and 5.3 rebounds in 14.4 minutes. Atlanta tends to struggle against opposing centers, allowing the 11th-most fantasy points to the position this season; however, Smith is unlikely to see much action behind Nikola Vucevic.
