Jalen Smith Fantasy Stats

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (calf) won't play against Boston on Wednesday. Smith will miss his third consecutive contest due to a calf injury. Before his absence, he averaged 13.2 points and 8.4 rebounds in 25.9 minutes per game over his last 11 outings (eight starts). Once he returns, the 25-year-old could see an expanded role, particularly with Nikola Vucevic no longer in the picture. Without Smith, Guershon Yabusele, Matas Buzelis, Nick Richards, and Patrick Williams will continue to anchor the frontcourt.

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (calf) was listed as doubtful for his team's matchup in Boston on Wednesday, meaning he's likely to miss his third straight game and his fifth game in Chicago's last seven. Smith has been puttin gup bit numbers, averaging 13.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 25.9 minutes per game over his last 11 contests (eight starts). After the Bulls traded Nikola Vucevic to the Celtics at the trade deadline, Smith could be in for an expanded role when available the rest of the season. The 25-year-old has been a great per-minute producer this year and will be worth a roster spot in most standard leagues when he's able to resume a full workload. With the week off for the All-Star break after Wednesday's game, though, it makes sense for the Bulls to be cautious for this contest. Without Smith, Guershon Yabusele, Matas Buzelis, Nick Richards, and Patrick Williams will continue to hold down the frontcourt.

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (calf) is on the injury report with a questionable designation ahead of Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Smith couldn't play on Saturday against Denver due to a right calf strain and may miss a second consecutive contest versus Brooklyn. Guerschon Yabusele started in Smith's place on Saturday, with Nick Richards serving as his backup. Although Yabusele saw more action, Richards made a bigger impact in the game. He had 15 points, seven rebounds, one steal, and one block across 19 minutes. Chicago's frontcourt is in a good spot on Monday, with Brooklyn allowing the 10th-most fantasy points to centers.

Chicago Bulls forward Jalen Smith (calf) is ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Smith will take a seat after suffering a strained right calf during Thursday's contest. His absence will leave the Bulls shorthanded, with Nikola Vucevic being moved at the trade deadline. Guerschon Yabusele and Nick Richards should be asked to pick up the slack with Smith on the sideline. Yabusele finished with 15 points, 11 rebounds, and three assists during his team debut on Thursday. He's worth a look as a streaming option with Smith unavailable for this one.

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (calf) has been upgraded to available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Smith will make his return to the court after missing each of the last two games due to a calf injury. His return to the court comes at a good time, with the Bulls trading Nikola Vucevic to the Boston Celtics earlier in the day. He's expected to step into a bigger role with Vucevic no longer on the roster. Over his last five games, Smith is averaging 13.6 points and 7.2 rebounds. He should be a popular waiver wire addition with an increased role coming his way.

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (calf) won't play on Sunday against Miami. It will be Smith's second-straight absence because of tightness in his right calf, so his next chance to suit up will be on Tuesday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Fortunately, Nikola Vucevic will return after getting the night off on Saturday to rest. Ayo Dosunmu, who had 29 points, eight boards, and nine assists on Saturday evening, should see even more work, especially with Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Tre Jones (hamstring) also sidelined.

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (calf) was ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game against Miami due to right calf tightness after exiting at halftime. Smith finished with 11 points and five rebounds in 15 minutes, leaving Chicago thin up front behind Nikola Vucevic. Patrick Williams is the next man up, but remains difficult to trust after posting zero points in 12 minutes and averaging minimal production across his last five games. If the Bulls lean small, Ayo Dosunmu stands to benefit after delivering 23 points, seven rebounds, and five assists, while Smith is a short-term hold pending updates.

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (calf) will suit up on Thursday against the Miami Heat. The big man is dealing with calf soreness and was initially listed as probable on the injury report after he logged 28 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Indiana Pacers. Smith dropped to the bench on Wednesday night as Josh Giddey (hamstring) rejoined the first unit. However, Giddey has been ruled out for Thursday's game, opening the door for Smith to return to the starting lineup. Smith has been sneaky good in recent weeks, finishing four of his last eight appearances with a double-double.

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (concussion) will return to action on Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks. The 25-year-old has missed a pair of games after suffering a head injury and landing in concussion protocol. Before he was knocked out of the lineup, Smith made three consecutive starts, averaging 11.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks. With Zach Collins (toe) out of the lineup, Smith is bound to be heavily involved in the rotation, even if he doesn't start.

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (concussion) is questionable for Saturday's game against Dallas after missing two straight contests while progressing through the league's concussion protocol. If Smith remains out, Lachlan Olbrich is expected to handle backup center duties behind Nikola Vucevic, with Zach Collins (toe) still sidelined. Olbrich logged 16 minutes last game, posting two points and five rebounds. The role offers limited fantasy upside. Vucevic continues to shoulder heavy frontcourt usage, while Smith remains a cautious hold until cleared.
