Jalen Smith DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (knee) will be active on Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors. It was initially unclear whether Smith could play when Chicago listed him as questionable on the injury report. The big man is experiencing pain in his right knee. Over the last three weeks, Smith has featured in only a handful of games, but he played well in Monday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, finishing with 10 points, six rebounds, and two blocks in 18 minutes.

Chicago Bulls center Jalen Smith (concussion) will miss a second consecutive contest on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 24-year-old must clear concussion protocol before he can return to the court. Zach Collins will carry additional fantasy value during Smith's absence. He went close to a double-double in Saturday's loss to the Phoenix Suns, recording eight points and 10 rebounds in 18 minutes off the bench. Collins has averaged 5.0 points and 5.3 boards through his first three outings as a Bull.

Chicago Bulls center Jalen Smith (concussion) will not play in Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He is currently in concussion protocol after getting injured in Thursday's matchup against the New York Knicks. Smith only played two minutes in that game, allowing Zach Collins to take on extra shifts. The same is likely to occur on Saturday, although Collins had a disappointing performance on Thursday, scoring two points and grabbing one rebound.

Chicago Bulls forward Jalen Smith (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Smith is in danger of missing his first game since late December. His absence wouldn't be a huge problem considering he has only been playing minutes in the teens lately. That being said, Julian Phillips, Dalen Terry, and possibly Adama Sanogo would see additional playing time if Smith is unavailable to play. However, none of those players are ideal streaming choices even with an extended look.

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (ankle) will play against Washington on Wednesday. The team has upgraded him from probable to available. Smith will continue to work as Nikola Vucevic's backup at the center position. This severely limits his fantasy appeal, but Smith did well in the role on Monday against Charlotte. He finished a 115-108 overtime win with 15 points, five rebounds, one steal, and one block.
