Chicago Bulls DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hip) has been tagged as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets due to hip soreness. He was able to play around 30 minutes in their last game on Wednesday and posted seven points, 10 rebounds, three assists, and two blocks. This will likely come down to whether or not the soreness gets worse leading up to shootaround and warm-ups. If he can't suit up, Lonzo Ball, Coby White (probable - neck), and Ayo Dosunmu (probable - calf) would all see a bump up in fantasy value in all formats.

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The inactive designation shouldn't be a surprise as Ball was slated to rest in tonight's second leg of a back-to-back for Chicago. Ball has been playing well in his last three games, hitting at least three three-pointers in each game and posting double-digits in every game. Ball hasn't missed a game in nine games so resting him will be ideal for Chicago. In his absence expect Ayo Dosunmu and Talen Horton-Tucker to get more minutes. Dosunmu should be the preferred fantasy option.

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu (calf) will return to action on Wednesday against Atlanta, but he will have a minutes limit. Following his 10-game absence, Bulls head coach Billy Donovan plans to restrict Dosunmu to 24-26 minutes. The 24-year-old has averaged close to 31 minutes for the season. He has notched 12.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 4.8 assists. Lonzo Ball (knee) will be rested on Wednesday, and Dosunmu should pick up most of his minutes.

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (neck) will suit up for Wednesday's tilt against Atlanta. White returned to the lineup on Tuesday against New Orleans, but he was listed as questionable on the initial injury report ahead of Wednesday's game. On Tuesday, the 24-year-old struggled from the field but did enough to finish with 22 points. This gives White six 20-point efforts in his past nine appearances. He should be able to add to the streak on Wednesday against Atlanta's poor defense.

Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball is scheduled to be rested on Wednesday versus Atlanta. The team begins a back-to-back set on Tuesday against New Orleans, and Ball hasn't been cleared to play on consecutive nights. Ball tied a season-high with 26 minutes in the last game against Sacramento, so he's starting to get close to a normal workload, which is great news for fantasy managers. Ball's work versus the Kings included a season-high 15 points and three assists on 5-for-8 three-point shooting. He gets another favorable matchup on Tuesday against a fragile defense.
