Jalen Smith Fantasy Stats

Chicago Bulls forward Jalen Smith (hamstring) will remain sidelined for the third straight game on Wednesday. Smith has been officially ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets due to a lingering hamstring issue. The Bulls are shorthanded right now, which means Nikola Vucevic will probably play as many minutes as he can handle. Over the last three games, Vucevic has registered two double doubles in 30 minutes or more in all three contests. The veteran center has been offering nearly top five production at his position. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Vucevic active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (chest) has been upgraded from probable to available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He is dealing with a right pectoral strain, but the issue isn't serious enough to keep Smith sidelined. Smith fills backup duties for Nikola Vucevic in Chicago, but he has produced some strong performances lately, even getting a couple of double-doubles. Portland allows the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing centers, making it a potential field day for Chicago's big men on Wednesday night.

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (pectoral) is listed as probable for Wednesday's meeting with the Portland Trail Blazers. He played through a right pectoralis strain on Monday against the Denver Nuggets and appears prepared to do so again on Wednesday night. Smith serves as a backup in the Windy City, but he has posted some strong numbers. Across 13 appearances this season, the 26-year-old is averaging 10.2 points and 6.3 rebounds in 16.0 minutes. Smith has notched two double-doubles, both coming during his last five outings.

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.

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (ankle) will play against Charlotte on Monday. He returns to the lineup from a one-game absence after initially being listed as questionable for the contest. Smith has had a decent month, but his fantasy value is very limited due to the presence of Nikola Vucevic. He has averaged 8.3 points and 6.2 rebounds in 17.0 minutes across 10 December appearances.

Chicago Bulls center Jalen Smith (ankle) will not play in Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a sore left ankle. Smith, who typically logs around 15 minutes per game, plays a key role in providing rebounding and defense off the bench. His next chance to return will be on Monday against the Hornets. With Smith sidelined, Torrey Craig is expected to step up and take on additional minutes backing up Nikola Vucevic at center.
