Chicago Bulls DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Ball has been out since late October due to a right wrist sprain. That being said, Ball is going to be limited to around 15 minutes on Wednesday. The expectation is that the Bulls are going to ease Ball back into the rotation. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Ball to have meaningful fantasy value until he's back to full speed. Both Josh Giddey and Ayo Dosunmu could see their playing time take a hit with Ball back in the mix.

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Talen Horton-Tucker (thumb) will be in the lineup on Tuesday against Washington. He's nursing a right thumb sprain but has received an upgrade from a probable status to available. Horton-Tucker is currently a third-stringer for the Bulls, averaging 4.8 points in 9.5 minutes. He's played in only two of the last four games. However, Patrick Williams' (foot) absence might help Horton-Tucker climb up in the depth chart.

Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) has been ruled out for Tuesday's clash against Washington but appears to be ready to jump back into action on Wednesday versus Orlando. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Ball is targeting a return against the Magic. Ball has been out since Oct. 28 with a right wrist sprain. He made his first three NBA appearances in 33 months at the start of the campaign, averaging 4.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 15.7 minutes. The Bulls will continue to manage his workload once Ball is back, limiting his fantasy appeal.

Chicago Bulls forward Talen Horton-Tucker (thumb) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards due to a right thumb sprain. The 24-year-old's role has been sporadic this season, but he typically sees more minutes when someone is out of the rotation. With Patrick Williams (foot) sidelined, Horton-Tucker could see an increased role off the bench, which boosts his value. In his most recent game against Memphis, he played 18 minutes, contributing 10 points and five assists. His performance remains unpredictable, but the opportunity for added minutes should benefit his fantasy value.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards, marking his fourth consecutive absence due to inflammation in his surgically repaired left foot. His status for Wednesday's matchup against the Orlando Magic is still uncertain. Williams, who averages 28.7 minutes per game, has been a solid contributor with 9.9 points and 5.0 rebounds per game, though his health has occasionally been a concern. He had a strong stretch recently, including a double-double performance on November 11th against Cleveland, with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
