Coby White to Play with Minutes Limit on Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (calf) will return to action for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. White played on Monday after missing three games due to a calf injury. He sat out of Wednesday's game for injury maintenance, but is cleared to suit on for the second leg of the back-to-back set. According to K.C. Johnson, White is going to play roughly 24-26 minutes during Thursday's game. The Bulls want to be cautious with White, who has been limited to 16 games this season due to injuries. The 25-year-old is averaging 18.4 points, 4.6 assists, and 3.4 rebounds in 27.8 minutes per game this season. His value will take a slight hit with the limitations, but it's not far off his normal allotment of minutes. Fantasy managers should be safe to get White back into their lineups on Thursday.

Kevin Huerter Won't Play on Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Kevin Huerter (back) is ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. Huerter will sit out the second leg of the back-to-back set due to lower back tightness. This seems like injury maintenance, so Huerter will likely be back in the mix for Saturday's game versus the Dallas Mavericks. Coby White (calf) is back in the rotation on Thursday, but is only playing around 24-26 minutes. Even with White returning, the absence of Huerter should still benefit Ayo Dosunmu and Tre Jones. Fantasy managers cannot go wrong with either Dosunmu or Jones for Thursday's slate. Dosunmu seems to have the slight edge as he's scored 10 or more points in seven straight games coming into Thursday's contest.

Matas Buzelis Set to Suit Up Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (illness) will play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. Buzelis was previously listed as questionable due to feeling unwell. The 21-year-old is coming off a solid outing against the Celtics on Monday, registering 26 points, three rebounds, two assists and one block across 31 minutes of action. Buzelis, in his second NBA season, continues to improve and has been relatively productive fantasy-wise throughout the 2025-26 campaign.

Coby White Sidelined Versus Pistons

Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports that Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (calf) won't suit up against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. White will have the evening off for injury management. The 25-year-old could be back in action on Thursday in Miami. With White sidelined for tonight's tilt, Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter will have expanded roles, but will face a challenging matchup against a tough Pistons defense.

Jalen Smith Ruled Out for Second Straight Game

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (concussion) will be sidelined for a second consecutive game on Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons. Smith entered concussion protocol over the weekend after sustaining a head injury during a game against the Charlotte Hornets. Chicago's frontcourt is also currently without Zach Collins (toe), opening up a spot in the rotation for Lachlan Olbrich. The 22-year-old rookie failed to impress on Monday night against the Boston Celtics, finishing scoreless in 12 minutes and recording two rebounds and two assists.

Matas Buzelis Could Miss First Game of the Season Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (illness) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He is dealing with an illness, and if Buzelis can't shake it off before tip-off, he would miss his first game of the season. The 21-year-old sophomore has taken an impressive leap in 2025-26, averaging 14.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks. Patrick Williams and Julian Phillips will likely be called upon to take on larger roles Wednesday night if Buzelis is unavailable.

Coby White May Skip Wednesday's Game

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (calf) is considered questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Detroit Pistons. On Monday, White made a sooner-than-expected return to the lineup from a right calf injury, but he may sit out some action again. Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter will likely see more time on the court if White is unavailable, although Wednesday presents a challenging matchup for the Bulls against the league's second-ranked defense.

Coby White Back on Monday Night

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (calf) will play on Monday night against Boston after missing the last three games. Despite being limited to only 16 contests throughout the 2025 campaign, he's averaged 19.2 points, the second-highest mark of his career. While the Celtics have allowed 110.7 points per game this season, White has an excellent opportunity to be more productive than usual with Josh Giddey (hamstring) sidelined. With White back on the floor, Tre Jones will presumably return to the bench.

Zach Collins Remains Out on Friday

Chicago Bulls center Zach Collins (toe) will not suit up against the Orlando Magic while he continues to deal with a toe sprain. The 28-year-old has already missed two consecutive games prior to Friday, and has only appeared in 10 games so far this season. While he's been out, Jalen Smith has seen some added playing time and has joined the starting five alongside Nikola Vucevic while the team experiments with lineups. Smith is widely available in most fantasy formats and averages 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.4 threes per game in his 28 appearances.

Coby White to Miss at Least One Week

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (calf) will be re-evaluated in one week, the team announced on Wednesday. White injured his right calf on Monday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves and wasn't available for Wednesday's matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. It's now clear that he will sit out at least three more games. Josh Giddey (hamstring) has been ruled out for at least two weeks, opening up two starting spots and a lot of offensive usage on the team. Both Jalen Smith and Tre Jones performed well as starters on Wednesday, while Matas Buzelis was significantly more involved in the offense. Ultimately, Isaac Okoro led Chicago in scoring with 24 points. Kevin Huarter and Ayo Dosunmu are also among the players who benefit from the absences of White and Giddey.

Josh Giddey to Be Re-Evaluated in Two Weeks

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, the team announced on Wednesday. Giddey didn't play on New Year's Eve against the New Orleans Pelicans and will be out for seven more games if he can make his return in two weeks. With Coby White (calf) also out, the Bulls used Jalen Smith and Tre Jones as starters against New Orleans. Jones did a good job filling in for Giddey at point guard, posting a game-high 12 assists and scoring 20 points in 27 minutes. Ayo Dosunmu and Kevin Huarter also gain fantasy value from Chicago's backcourt injuries.

Zach Collins Out at Least 10 More Days

According to Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic, Chicago Bulls center Zach Collins (toe) will be sidelined at least 10 more days due to a sprained right toe. The timetable for a return likely puts Collins out of action for at least six contests. His injury occurred in the closing minutes of Saturday's loss to Milwaukee. The 28-year-old big man finished with 10 points, 10 rebounds, and two assists in 24 minutes before leaving the floor. While Collins is sidelined, Jalen Smith will see an expanded role backing up starting center Nikola Vucevic.

Josh Giddey Sidelined "at Least a Few Weeks"

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) will "miss at least a few weeks" as a result of the hamstring strain that he sustained during Monday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 2021 No. 6 overall pick has played well throughout the 2025 campaign, averaging career-highs in points (19.5), rebounds (9.1), assists (9.2), and three-point percentage (39.0%). With Coby White (calf) also battling an injury of his own, Chicago may roll with Tre Jones and Ayo Dosunmu in the starting lineup, making both players must-start options in all fantasy formats.

Josh Giddey Good to Go Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) will be in action on Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Australian triple-double threat is dealing with an ankle issue, but the team has upgraded his status from probable to available. Giddey has struggled to score in recent games, posting 25 points on 7-for-22 shooting across two contests. Monday's matchup is not a great bounce-back spot, as Minnesota owns the NBA's eighth-best defensive rating.
