Chicago Bulls DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (neck) will hop back into the lineup on Tuesday against New Orleans. He's available following a one-game absence after recovering from a neck strain. White settled for 15 points in his last outing against Washington, but he has been sharp offensively in recent weeks. The 24-year-old has posted 20-plus points in five of his past eight appearances and is shooting close to 48 percent from three-point range in January.

According to K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago, Chicago Bulls guardAyo Dosunmu(calf) won't suit up against the Pelicans on Tuesday. Dosunmu will miss his 10th consecutive contest due to a right calf strain.However, Dosunmu is expected to return against the Hawks on Wednesday. Until then, Lonzo BallandTalen Horton-Tucker will likely continue to see expanded roles even after Dosunmu returns, as he will likely have his minutes restricted.

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (neck) was listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans after he missed Sunday's five-point loss to the Kings. In White's absence, Lonzo Ball made his first start of the season and played 25 minutes, producing 15 points, three assists, a block, and a rebound. Ball's minutes are still very limited as he works his way back from injury, but he'll be a strong streaming option in a favorable matchup against the Pelicans if White misses a second straight game. If White returns, he'll step back into a large workload after averaging scoring double-digit points in 15 straight games before the injury, averaging 18.7 points, 4.9 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 33.1 minutes per game over that span.

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (calf) seems to be on the verge of a return since he has been ramping up on-court activity and is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Pelicans. Dosunmu hasn't played since December 23, but he was very productive in the month before his calf injury. He averaged 14.4 points, 5.8 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.4 steals in 33.5 minutes per game in 14 starts in the month before he went down and especially excelled when Zach LaVine or Coby White was out. If he's ready to return, he'll take playing time from Lonzo Ball and Talen Horton-Tucker, but he may have to ramp up with limited minutes after such a long layoff.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (elbow) is considered probable for Sunday's matchup against Sacramento. He has been listed on the injury report with a right elbow contusion. Williams has struggled recently, and the injury is another blow for him. The 23-year-old has been limited to 5.6 points on a horrible 29 percent shooting this month, so even if Williams suits up for Sunday's game, fantasy managers should look elsewhere. If Williams is out, Rookie Matas Buzelis and Julian Phillips might see more playing time, but they are non-factors in fantasy basketball.
