Chicago Bulls DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) has been listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets, but head coach Billy Donovan has effectively ruled him out. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Donovan mentioned that Giddey is "going to be out for a little bit." Giddey himself also confirmed that he won't play. Lonzo Ball (wrist) is likely to remain sidelined as well on Thursday, which means Tre Jones looks set for another start, and Kevin Huerter is expected to take on a larger role off the bench.

Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) is expected to sit out a sixth consecutive game on Thursday against the Brooklyn Nets, as the team lists him as doubtful on the injury report. He hasn't seen any action so far this month due to a right wrist sprain. With Ball injured, Tre Jones has received additional opportunities in the rotation. He has started four consecutive games, averaging 13.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 6.0 assists in 32.5 minutes. Jones will continue to be a solid streaming option until Ball returns.

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (toe) has been cleared to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. White was listed as probable coming into this game and will continue playing through the minor toe issue. The Bulls are certainly glad to have White out there with Lonzo Ball (wrist) missing another game. That means, White should continue having increased ball handling responsibility with Ball missing his fourth straight game on Saturday. White has been a must-start fantasy option lately with a 44-point outing during Thursday's game.

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. As expected, Ball will miss this game after being listed as doubtful coming into it. Ball will miss his fourth game in a row due to a wrist sprain. The team hasn't given much of an update on his status, so it's unclear when he'll return to the court. Kevin Huerter and Tre Jones will continue seeing increased playing time in the rotation. Huerter is probably the safer fantasy option between the two, but Jones is coming off a 20-point outing on Thursday.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. Vucevic will miss his seventh game in a row due to a right calf strain. He was listed as doubtful coming into this game and his timetable to return to the court is unclear. Zach Collins and Matas Buzelis should continue seeing increased playing time while Vucevic is out. Both players are worth a look as streaming options right now. Collins has been on a hot streak lately with three double-doubles over his last five games.
