Chicago Bulls guard/forward Talen Horton-Tucker (leg) will be in the lineup on Saturday against the Golden State Warriors. He has recovered from a left leg infection, which kept Horton-Tucker off the court for four games. The 24-year-old has averaged only 11.5 minutes of action this season and likely won't make a big impact on Saturday. However, with Zach LaVine now in Sacramento, we may see a bit more of Horton-Tucker for the rest of the way.
Talen Horton-Tucker Gets Downgraded To Questionable
Chicago Bulls guard Talen Horton-Tucker (leg) has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Horton-Tucker suffered a lower leg injury on Wednesday and as a result he didn't play on Friday. If he sits on Sunday, Josh Giddey, Coby White, and even Dalen Terry could see additional playing time. However, Horton-Tucker is only averaging 11 minutes per game this season, so his absence doesn't mean too much right now.
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Talen Horton-Tucker (thumb) is available to play against the Toronto Raptors on Friday. Horton-Tucker injured his lower left leg during Chicago's 122-100 loss to the Celtics on Wednesday. The injury doesn't appear serious enough to keep him out of action versus the Raptors. He's averaging 5.9 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 11.5 minutes per contest across 40 games in this year's campaign. The 24-year-old will likely have a limited impact on fantasy this evening.
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Talen Horton-Tucker (thumb) will be in the lineup on Tuesday against Washington. He's nursing a right thumb sprain but has received an upgrade from a probable status to available. Horton-Tucker is currently a third-stringer for the Bulls, averaging 4.8 points in 9.5 minutes. He's played in only two of the last four games. However, Patrick Williams' (foot) absence might help Horton-Tucker climb up in the depth chart.
Chicago Bulls forward Talen Horton-Tucker (thumb) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards due to a right thumb sprain. The 24-year-old's role has been sporadic this season, but he typically sees more minutes when someone is out of the rotation. With Patrick Williams (foot) sidelined, Horton-Tucker could see an increased role off the bench, which boosts his value. In his most recent game against Memphis, he played 18 minutes, contributing 10 points and five assists. His performance remains unpredictable, but the opportunity for added minutes should benefit his fantasy value.
Talen Horton-Tucker Joins Bulls On Partially Guaranteed Deal
According to NBA insider Shams Charania, shooting guard Talen Horton-Tucker has signed a partially guaranteed deal with his hometown Chicago Bulls. The 23-year-old was available as a free agent after playing out a pair of campaigns in Utah. Horton-Tucker had a mixed season in 2023-24 and even spent some time out of the rotation, but he put up decent numbers while with the team. The former Laker posted 10.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 20.0 minutes across two seasons. However, Horton-Tucker shot below 40 percent from the field last term, and he certainly has to improve his efficiency to earn a team's trust.
Utah Jazz guards Keyonte George (foot) and Talen Horton-Tucker (foot) will both be active on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs, with the two playmakers overcoming bouts of left foot inflammation. George will dress for the first time since Dec. 13 after missing six games, but it remains to be seen if he will start. Collin Sexton has fared extremely well of late, averaging 22.9 points, 4.1 assists, and 2.0 threes over his past eight contests. Horton-Tucker missed Utah's last two games but was gaining momentum with double-digit points for eight straight games plus a 19-point, 11-assist double-double last Wednesday. Though Tuesday's game holds the highest implied point total (242.5) of the nine-game slate, the Jazz backcourt has suddenly become crowded, with Jordan Clarkson also returning from a six-game hiatus on Saturday. The DFS value is difficult to parse, but players should want some form of exposure to this attractive game environment.
Utah Jazz guard/forward Talen Horton-Tucker (foot) won't play on the second leg of a back-to-back set for Thursday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons due soreness in his left foot. It's tough timing for fantasy managers, as Horton-Tucker was really starting to pick up some steam of late with Jordan Clarkson (thigh) and Keyonte George (foot) not around. The versatile Horton-Tucker has reached double figures in scoring for eight consecutive contests and put up a 19-point, 11-assist double-double on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. THT will aim to return on Saturday against the Toronto Raptors. Collin Sexton has poured in at least 20 points in six straight games and should continue to have the green light offensively, while Kris Dunn might be in for an uptick in playing time on Thursday against the dismal Pistons.
Utah Jazz guard Talen Horton-Tucker (illness) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was questionable heading into this game due to a non-COVID related illness. Despite that, it appears Horton-Tucker is going to be fine to play. He figures to resume his role as the starter alongside Collin Sexton in the backcourt. Fantasy managers who have him rostered can get him back in their lineups ahead of Saturday's game.
Utah Jazz guard/forward Talen Horton-Tucker has exercised his $11 million player option for the 2023-24 campaign. The 22-year-old has found himself in a good situation in Utah and is staying for a second season. Horton-Tucker gained a lot of steam in fantasy hoops last term, averaging 18.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.9 assists as he closed the campaign as a starter. He tallied 10.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists for the season overall. The Chicago-born player has shown good upside, and he definitely has more room for improvement after struggling with efficiency in 2022-23.
