Chicago Bulls DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

San Antonio Spurs big man Zach Collins (ankle) is on the injury report with a questionable tag heading into Friday's game against the Hornets. The 26-year-old's sprained ankle has kept him sidelined since December 29th, but he is expected to return to action on Friday. With Victor Wembanyama (rest) out, Collins is likely to get the start and could see a pretty big role in his return. He's averaged just under 25 minutes a game without Wembanyama this year, and he should see similar minutes in a good matchup against Charlotte.

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter has been hot from the floor recently. On Thursday, Huerter shot 11-of-17 from the floor for a season-high 31 points with two rebounds, and four assists in the loss to the Indiana Pacers. Huerter has scored 26 and 31 points in two of his last three games. He has been hitting shots at a consistent clip right now, so fantasy managers should ride the wave. Huerter played 39 minutes on Thursday and is likely to continue playing significant minutes with him scoring like this.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) is in danger of missing a third consecutive game on Thursday versus the Raptors. He's nursing a right ankle strain and is listed as questionable for the game. Williams didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, which is a bad sign regarding his availability for the Toronto game. With the Bulls healthy again, Williams has dropped to the bench, and there haven't been any standout performers in the second unit during his absence.

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Toronto. He's dealing with a left shoulder issue, which limited Dosunmu to only a 19-minute outing on Monday versus Cleveland. However, according to Bulls head coach Billy Donovan, Dosunmu is "totally fine" after undergoing imaging on his shoulder. The young guard also came through Wednesday's practice without any issues, so it looks like Dosunmu will likely play.

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) missed the fourth quarter versus Cleveland on Monday after aggravating a shoulder injury. He finished the contest as Chicago's leading bench scorer, putting up 10 points in 19 minutes on 3-for-7 shooting. Dosunmu noted after the game that he's hopeful he can play Thursday versus the Raptors. Jevon Carter would be the next man up off the bench if Dosunmu can't get himself game-ready within a couple of days. However, he hasn't provided much fantasy value this season.
