Lonzo Ball's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The inactive designation shouldn't be a surprise as Ball was slated to rest in tonight's second leg of a back-to-back for Chicago. Ball has been playing well in his last three games, hitting at least three three-pointers in each game and posting double-digits in every game. Ball hasn't missed a game in nine games so resting him will be ideal for Chicago. In his absence expect Ayo Dosunmu and Talen Horton-Tucker to get more minutes. Dosunmu should be the preferred fantasy option.

Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball is scheduled to be rested on Wednesday versus Atlanta. The team begins a back-to-back set on Tuesday against New Orleans, and Ball hasn't been cleared to play on consecutive nights. Ball tied a season-high with 26 minutes in the last game against Sacramento, so he's starting to get close to a normal workload, which is great news for fantasy managers. Ball's work versus the Kings included a season-high 15 points and three assists on 5-for-8 three-point shooting. He gets another favorable matchup on Tuesday against a fragile defense.

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (illness) is available for Saturday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Ball was sidelined for the previous two games due to illness, but he's set to return Saturday. Given his history with injuries, any appearance on the court is a welcome sight. This season, he's averaged 5.2 points, 3.6 assists, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game. However, his production has been inconsistent, making it tough for fantasy managers to predict what he'll bring on a nightly basis.
