Chicago Bulls DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. White will now miss his second game in a row due to a right ankle injury. His next chance to get back on the court will be Saturday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Both Lonzo Ball and Ayo Dosunmu should see increased roles in the rotation with White out. Both players are worth a look as possible streaming options with Dosunmu being the slightly better choice between the two.

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (ankle) has been listed as questionable on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors, but he is not expected to play. Per K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago, Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said on Wednesday that White met with a foot doctor on Tuesday. There is nothing structurally wrong with his right ankle, but White is set to miss a second consecutive game on Thursday. This means Lonzo Ball will likely remain in the starting unit. On Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers, Ball recorded his second consecutive outing with three steals, picked up four rebounds, and added three assists along with one block. However, he struggled to score, finishing with only five points and missing seven of his eight attempts from three-point range.

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (calf) has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Dosunmu sat out on Monday, but was expected to suit up for Thursday's contest. Now, it seems that Dosunmu has suffered some kind of setback and is listed as questionable now. Dosunmu has only played in three of the last 14 games for the Bulls. His absence would likely free up additional playing time for Lonzo Ball and Coby White in the rotation. White is the better streaming choice, but both are worth a look if Dosunmu is unable to play.

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) will play on Monday versus the Clippers. Not only that, but he'll start for the second time of the 2024-25 campaign. The 27-year-old played well in his only start of the season, amassing 15 points while shooting 62.5% from behind the arc. With Coby White (ankle) and Ayo Dosunmu (calf) ruled out, Ball could see an uptick in scoring opportunities, giving him added value for fantasy managers.

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (calf) won't play on Monday versus the Clippers. The 2021 No. 38 overall pick missed time recently because of a calf injury. But with Dosunmu logging 32 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, he'll take the night off for the second game of a back-to-back. With Coby White (ankle) also out, Josh Giddey, Nikola Vucevic, and Zach LaVine (knee) should pick up most of the slack on the scoring end. Fantasy managers may also see more production from Lonzo Ball (knee) and Dalen Terry.
