Chicago Bulls DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (feet) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 23-year-old hasn't missed a game this season, which is good news, considering he missed time during the 2023-24 campaign because of a foot injury. It's unknown if his surgically-repaired foot is giving him trouble. But for now, fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned about bilateral foot soreness. Williams has played as well as expected this season, averaging 9.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 39.4% shooting from deep. Unfortunately, that type of production won't earn him a consistent place in some fantasy lineups. If he's sidelined on Wednesday, Jalen Smith could be in line for more work.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (foot) is dealing with foot soreness heading into the Monday night matchup against the Detroit Pistons but has been listed as probable. The 23-year-old hasn't been as efficient this year compared to the rest of his career but has increased a handful of his numbers so far. Through 14 games, Williams averages 10.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.9 threes per game. He's a better asset in deeper leagues but has started to make a case for 12-team leagues recently.

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (illness) remains on the injury report as he deals with an illness and he's officially listed as questionable for the contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 24-year-old was previously listed with a knee injury ahead of their game on Saturday and was able to play through it. The illness is a new issue appearing on the injury report, so this could come down to a game-time decision. If he's unable to play, Julian Phillips and Matas Buzelis may see some extra minutes from the bench while Patrick Williams could get some extended time too.

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.
