Chicago Bulls DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (wrist) was unable to play in the team's final two games of the regular season, and now there's some doubt surrounding his status for their play-in game against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. One bit of good news came from head coach Billy Donovan when he said that there is a "high-level optimism" surrounding his ability to play. In his first season with the Bulls, Giddey posted career-highs in multiple categories and averaged 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.5 threes per game with shooting splits of .465/.378/.781. If he's unable to play, they're likely to lean a bit more on Kevin Huerter and Talen Horton-Tucker at times.

Chicago Bulls centerNikola Vucevic(back) is unavailable for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 34-year-old big man will miss the first leg of a back-to-back set due to soreness in his right calf. Vucevic finished with 16 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 33 minutes in his last appearance on Sunday versus the Hornets. With Vucevic on the shelf, Zach Collins will likely soak up most of the minutes available at center during tonight's contest.

Chicago Bulls guard/forwardJosh Giddey(hip) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Giddey will be out of action for the first leg of a back-to-back set due to right forearm tendinopathy. The 22-year-old is likely being held out for injury management and rest after an impressive outing, finishing with 23 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, and one steal in a 131-117 win over the Hornets on Sunday. Talen Horton-Tucker is likely in line for a heavier workload while Giddey is out against the Cavs.

On Tuesday, Chicago Bulls guardCoby White (rest) won't play against the Cleveland Cavaliers. White hasn't missed a game since January 27 but will have the night off to rest. The 25-year-old has been taking on heavy minutes lately, logging 35 minutes in his last outing against the Hornets. Tuesday's matchup is the first leg of a back-to-back set for the Bulls. Fantasy managers should expect White to be back in action against the Heat on Wednesday.

Chicago Bulls point guard Jevon Carter (shoulder) will exit the lineup on Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors. The veteran guard put up 17 points in 18 minutes during Monday's blowout loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, but a shoulder issue will keep him off the court Tuesday night. Carter's absence has no fantasy significance, as he has made only five appearances since the start of March, averaging 10.8 minutes per game.
