Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. There was some concern that Caruso would miss this game as he continues to deal with a left ankle sprain. Despite that, both Caruso and Coby White (hip) are in action ahead of Thursday's contest. As a result, Torrey Craig will head to the second unit where he won't have as much streaming appeal. Fantasy managers can get White and Caruso back in their lineups for Thursday.

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) didn't practice on Wednesday, per head coach Billy Donovan. Donovan also said Caruso is feeling better, however, and that it was a precautionary move. Experiencing soreness in his left ankle following Monday's narrow victory over the visiting Portland Trail Blazers, Caruso's status remains uncertain for Thursday's tilt versus the Houston Rockets. It sounds like he's dealing with a minor issue, but the Bulls have officially listed him as questionable on their injury report. The 30-year-old disruptive defender has been a nine-category gem this season, attaining top-50 numbers in those formats covering his last 13 games via averages of 10.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.5 steals, and 2.0 three-pointers. Houston is yielding the ninth-fewest fantasy points to opposing shooting guards this season, though.

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) will remain in the lineup on Monday versus Portland despite being initially regarded as questionable for the game. The team has upgraded Caruso to available, with the fan favorite set to play in a 10th consecutive game. Caruso has played a significantly larger part in the attack lately due to Coby White's (hip) absence. He's always good for peripheral stats but has also now upped his scoring production to 18.7 points across the past three games. A meeting with a team that's ranked 22nd in defensive efficiency puts Caruso in a good position to cook up something good again for fantasy managers.

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) is questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Caruso has been dealing with left-toe soreness and several minor injuries throughout the season. However, going into Monday, the 30-year-old played in nine consecutive contests. The veteran guard has been an average asset in fantasy play, but he has been hot in the previous three games, averaging 18.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 2.0 steals on 55.3 percent shooting.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's clash with Dallas, which signals that he's ready to return to the lineup following a one-game absence. Williams hurt his right ankle on Sunday versus Memphis and had to miss Tuesday's juicy matchup against the Pacers. Gordon Hayward logged 30 minutes as a starter in Williams' place and will drop back to the bench on Thursday. The Mavericks complete a back-to-back and might be without Luka Doncic (hamstring), so Williams and the Thunder are well-placed for a good outing. The 22-year-old has averaged 16.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists in head-to-head clashes with Dallas this season.
