Chicago Bulls DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (thumb) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is expected to play despite a thumb sprain. This is a matchup White has enjoyed all season, averaging 24.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 3.0 steals in 33.5 minutes. If he is available for the contest, White will look for his third straight 20-point game. He has previously managed four such scoring streaks this season.

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Giddey may miss his first action of 2025 due to a quadriceps contusion. The Bulls are dealing with other backcourt injuries as well, meaning Tre Jones might end up running the offense in Tuesday's game. Jones' fantasy stock has dropped significantly in 2024-25, but he has previously shown that he can do a good job as a starting point guard. In his previous 125 career starts, Jones has averaged 12.4 points and 6.8 assists.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (calf) is approaching his return to the lineup. He has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, marking Vucevic's fifth consecutive absence. However, according to K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, Vucevic is aiming to return later in the week. Chicago has a two-game road trip to Florida scheduled, and this trip is seen as a "soft target date" for his return. Zach Collins is expected to have another busy night on Tuesday, with Jalen Smith eating up minutes as the backup center.

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Ball was considered probable heading into this contest, but now is in danger of missing this game. The 27-year-old is dealing with a wrist sprain, but he was able to play 34 minutes during Friday's game. Tre Jones could be in line for heavy minutes with the Bulls shorthanded at the guard spot right now. Jones is only seeing minutes in the teens right now, but he's someone to keep an eye on going forward.

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) will miss the remainder of the season. The Bulls provided an update on Sunday morning, indicating Dosunmu will need surgery to address "left shoulder instability." The organization will provide updates "as appropriate." The 2021 No. 38 overall pick averaged a career-high 12.3 points and 4.5 assists during the 2024-25 campaign. Yet, he shot just 32.8% from deep after draining 40.3% of his tries last season. It's unknown when Dosunmu will have the procedure and how long it will take for him to get back on the floor. But Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter, combining for 25 points in Friday's overtime win over the Raptors, should see more action for the rest of the season.
