Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine has seemingly been a part of trade rumors for a couple of years now. This season, especially, has brought more and more rumors surrounding the Bulls' asking price and teams that LaVine could actually fit on. The Detroit Pistons are the latest team to engage in trade discussions, but they are unwilling to move any of their "blue chip" prospects which includes Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, Jaden Ivey, and Ausar Thompson. On the other side of the deal, the Bulls are asking for Bojan Bogdanovic and one of those four players to get a deal done. According to James Edwards of The Athletic, these discussions will continue internally for now.

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is off the injury report ahead of Friday's contest versus the Memphis Grizzlies. The Magic managed Fultz's injured left knee in Monday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he'll get back in the mix on Friday. Since returning from a two-month absence, the former No. 1 overall pick is averaging 6.0 points, 3.4 assists, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.1 steals covering his past seven games. Fultz is an option to start in Orlando's backcourt alongside Jalen Suggs, likely pushing Anthony Black to the bench.

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) will get the night off on Monday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers after recently returning from a long layoff. The Magic are managing Fultz's surgically-repaired left knee, which caused the former No. 1 overall pick to miss two months of action between November and January because of lingering tendinitis. Orlando is off until Friday when they visit the Memphis Grizzlies, so that should provide Fultz enough time to return to the court. With Gary Harris (calf) still out, Cole Anthony (ankle), who is off Monday's injury report after tweaking his ankle in Sunday's win over the Miami Heat, and Jalen Suggs will handle the bulk of the minutes in the backcourt. Defensive-minded rookie Anthony Black is an option to enter the starting lineup, but this game presents the lowest implied point total (215.5) on Monday's eight-game slate.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) is expected to miss one-to-two weeks. The veteran sprained his right ankle during Thursday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors and underwent testing on Friday. Unfortunately, the news wasn't good, so Chicago will be without one of its top offensive contributors for the foreseeable future. Nonetheless, with LaVine's name mentioned in several trade scenarios, it's possible he may have already played his final game with the Bulls. That said, Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder), averaging 7.8 points, 3.7 boards, and 1.2 steals in six starts this season, is worth adding to any fantasy roster. However, the 24-year-old isn't always the most consistent fantasy producer.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Jae Crowder (core), who has been out for the last two months following core-muscle surgery, has been cleared to return to the team's lineup on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. While Crowder's availability is unlikely to impact fantasy hoops right off the bat, it's worth noting that he's among Milwaukee's leaders in minutes per game (26.7) as an active presence on the defensive end and effective spot-up shooter on offense (51.6% three-point shooting over nine games). The 33-year-old journeyman's return is likely bad news for the sharpshooting Malik Beasley's wing minutes as the Bucks' fifth starter. Across 29 starts since Nov. 13, Beasley is averaging 13.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.4 threes on 50.0% shooting from deep in 30.6 minutes per game.
