Chicago Bulls DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (head) was unable to return to Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was only able to play eight minutes before a laceration on his head caused him to exit and forced him to the sideline for the rest of the night. For now, fantasy managers should consider Ball as day-to-day, but there should be more information later. Kevin Huerter and Tre Jones will likely see bigger roles going forward if Ball misses more time. Huerter is looking like the better fantasy option between the two guards, assuming Ball remains out for a few games.

Chicago Bulls centerNikola Vucevic(calf) is out for Monday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Vucevic was added to the team's injury report on Monday afternoon due to tightness in his right calf. Zach Collinswill likely be in the starting lineup since he's the only center on the depth chart that is not injured.Julian Phillipsmay also see some added minutes on the floor after getting 24 minutes in their last game, which turned into nine points, three rebounds, one assist, two steals, and a one block outing.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (calf) has been added to the team's injury report on Monday afternoon while he deals with calf tightness. Right now, the veteran big man is considered probable to play against the Philadelphia 76ers, but popping up on the injury report this late is never a good sign. If he's unable to play, Zach Collins would likely move into the starting lineup since he's the only center on the depth chart that's not injured. Julian Phillips may see some added opportunities as well after getting 24 minutes in their last game which turned into nine points, three rebounds, one assist, two steals, and one block.

Chicago Bulls center Jalen Smith (concussion) will miss a second consecutive contest on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 24-year-old must clear concussion protocol before he can return to the court. Zach Collins will carry additional fantasy value during Smith's absence. He went close to a double-double in Saturday's loss to the Phoenix Suns, recording eight points and 10 rebounds in 18 minutes off the bench. Collins has averaged 5.0 points and 5.3 boards through his first three outings as a Bull.

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (ankle) is listed as probable on the injury report for Monday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 25-year-old hurt his right ankle on Saturday against the Phoenix Suns, but the probable tag suggests that White is likely to play against Philadelphia. White broke out of a slump on Saturday, posting 20 points with eight assists. If White suffers a setback and doesn't suit up on Monday, Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter may receive an uptick in minutes. The latter already saw a boost in playing time against the Suns due to Ayo Dosunmu's (shoulder) absence.
