Chicago Bulls DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

According to K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, Chicago Bulls guard/forwardJosh Giddey (hip) said he will play against his former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, on Monday. Giddey participated in the Bulls' morning shootaround after he was listed as questionable for right-hip soreness and injury management. In his last outing, the 22-year-old finished with eight points, eight rebounds, four assists, and two blocks across 27 minutes in a 120-119 loss to the Mavs on Saturday. He should be a solid fantasy option for this evening as he goes up against his former club.

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (toe) will be in the lineup on Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers. As expected, White has received the all-clear to play after being on the initial injury report with a probable tag. White has finished three consecutive games with 35-plus points, and the hot streak includes a 36-point effort in a blowout win against the Lakers on Saturday night. This scoring surge has placed him alongside Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Michael Jordan, and Bob Love as the only Bulls players to score 35 or more points in three straight games.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (back) will play in Thursday's clash against the Los Angeles Lakers after overcoming a questionable designation. It has been a solid campaign for Vucevic, although he has lost some momentum after spending a few weeks on the sidelines due to a calf injury. Since returning to action, Vucevic has averaged 14.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in 28.0 minutes. He recorded a 12-12-5 line in last week's encounter with the Lakers.

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey (wrist) will suit up for Thursday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game due to a wrist injury. Giddey and the Bulls only recently defeated the Lakers, with the talented Australian delivering a special stat line. He capped off a 146-115 victory on Saturday with 15 points, 10 rebounds, 17 assists, and eight steals. A repeat of that performance appears unlikely, but Giddey has been back to his best in recent weeks.

Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) will not make his comeback in Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Ball is expected to return to the lineup this week and was initially listed as questionable for Thursday. Unfortunately, he is not ready to return, marking his 13th consecutive game missed. Kevin Huerter, who has made seven straight starts, will continue to have extra fantasy value due to Ball's absence. He has averaged 15.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.3 steals during his recent run as a starter.
