Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (knee) will be available for Saturday's matchup against Atlanta. The 24-year-old carries a knee problem, which has made him a regular on the injury report, but he's missed only one game this season. Working as the backup center, Smith has averaged 8.8 points and 5.3 rebounds in 14.4 minutes. Atlanta tends to struggle against opposing centers, allowing the 11th-most fantasy points to the position this season; however, Smith is unlikely to see much action behind Nikola Vucevic.


Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (illness) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. As expected, Giddey will suit up for this game after being considering as probable with a minor illness. He'll resume his role in the starting five and should see a higher usage with Zach LaVine (groin) sidelined once again. He finished with 15 points and seven assists through 30 minutes of action during Monday's game. Giddey should be rostered in most fantasy formats and managers can get him in there as active on Wednesday.


Chicago Bulls forwardJalen Smith(knee) is available for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Smith was sidelined during Wednesday's win over Orlando due to a left knee effusion, though he was able to play in Friday's loss to Brooklyn. The 24-year-old has impacted in a limited run off the bench this season. He's averaged 10.2 points and 5.6 rebounds across 13.6 minutes per game in five regular-season appearances.


Chicago Bulls guard/forwardJosh Giddey(illness) will suit up against the Utah Jazz after being listed on the team's injury list early Monday afternoon with a non-COVID illness. In the last three Bulls games, the 22-year-old play has been impressive, averaging 14.3 points, 10.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.3 steals. If Giddey's minutes are limited, Coby Whitewill likely get more on-ball duties, whileAyo Dosunmu will also see more action.


Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (illness) won't play on Monday night in Miami. He hasn't felt well, keeping him off the court for Saturday's overtime loss to the Raptors. Doug McDermott got the start in that one. However, he finished with only four points in 15 minutes. With that in mind, McDermott should be left out of fantasy lineups. Instead, Keon Ellis, who had eight points, two steals, and two blocks versus Toronto, is worth streaming. Ellis will also be an enticing DFS value option.
