Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig (illness) will sit out Saturday's matchup against Atlanta. He has been ruled out for the contest after initially carrying a questionable tag. Craig was a regular in the Bulls rotation last season, but he's been limited to only two games and a handful of minutes in 2024-25. The veteran misses a second consecutive game due to an illness on Saturday and will get the next chance to return on Monday night versus Cleveland.
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Zach LaVine (adductor) will return from a three-game absence on Saturday versus Atlanta. The two-time All-Star has opened the campaign in fine form, averaging 22.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.7 assists with 45.8 percent shooting from three-point range. Ayo Dosunmu's fantasy value takes a hit with LaVine's return, as he's been a member of the starting unit for the past three games. However, Dosunmu will still have a significant role to play in the rotation. Atlanta is ranked 25th in defensive efficiency, making this a good matchup for LaVine and the Bulls.
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (adductor) is questionable for Saturday's game in Atlanta. The 29-year-old last played in the win over Brooklyn on November 1, scoring 21 points while going 5-for-9 from behind the arc. However, he's missed the Bulls' previous three contests because of a right adductor strain. If LaVine can't return for Saturday's contest, Ayo Dosunmu, averaging 14.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in three starts this season, should continue to fill the void in the rotation.
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. As expected, LaVine will miss his third game in a row due to a lingering groin issue. Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White should both see increased playing time and scoring chances with LaVine absent. Both players struggled from the floor on Wednesday, but are worth looking at as streaming options with the Bulls lacking legitimate scoring options.
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (groin) is considered as doubtful ahead of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. LaVine is now in danger of missing his third game in a row due to a groin issue. The assumption is that LaVine is day-to-day, but the team hasn't given many updates. His absence should result in more playing time for Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White. Both players will see an increase in playing time and fantasy value until LaVine is able to return. Fantasy managers should prepare to be without LaVine on Thursday.
