Bulls' Zach Collins: Exits in final minutes of loss
Rotowire
Collins limped to the locker room in the closing minutes of Saturday's 112-103 loss to Milwaukee, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Collins suffered an apparent lower body injury late in the contest and did not return. He logged 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes before exiting. He'll have minimal time to rest and recover, as the Bulls face Minnesota on Monday.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Good to go Saturday
Rotowire
Giddey (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
Giddey will shake off his questionable tag due to a sprained left ankle and suit up in the second leg of Chicago's back-to-back set. During Friday's win over the 76ers, the 23-year-old point guard posted 12 points (3-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 assists, six rebounds and one steal over 33 minutes. He has racked up two triple-doubles and two double-doubles over his last five appearances.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: No minutes in Friday's win
Rotowire
Williams (coach's decision) didn't leave the bench Friday in the Bulls' 109-102 win over the 76ers.
Williams had been managing an illness leading up to Friday's contest and was listed as questionable heading into the day, but he ended up being cleared to play ahead of game time. However, for the first time all season, Williams wound up getting dropped from the Chicago rotation while head coach Billy Donovan went with Jalen Smith and Zach Collins as the team's backup options in the frontcourt. Considering Williams had played fewer than 10 minutes in each of his preceding three appearances, his move outside of the rotation wasn't overly surprising.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Questionable to face Milwaukee
Rotowire
Giddey (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
Giddey is dealing with a left ankle sprain and might miss the second leg of Chicago's back-to-back set. He posted 12 points (3-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 assists, six rebounds and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's win over Philadelphia. If the 23-year-old point guard is ultimately ruled out, Tre Jones and Ayo Dosunmu are candidates for increased roles, while Jevon Carter could enter the rotation.
White accumulated 13 points (4-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and six assists across 29 minutes during Friday's 109-102 victory over Philadelphia.
White was unable to get things going offensively, and he posted his second-worst scoring mark of the season after needing 12 shots to record 13 points. White has hit the 20-point mark in all but three appearances in 2025-26, so fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned about this subpar showing. He's averaging 18.8 points per game in December.

Bulls' Zach Collins: Efficient off bench in win
Rotowire
Collins closed Friday's 109-102 win over Philadelphia with 15 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 19 minutes.
The veteran big man made the most of his 19-minute cameo off the bench in this win, missing just three shots from the field en route to posting his second-best scoring output of the season. Collins has scored in double digits in each of his last five outings off the bench, and while his role limits his upside, he might be a solid streaming option in deep formats for managers needing to add frontcourt depth. He's posted at least 10 points and five boards while logging less than 20 minutes in each of his last three appearances.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Posts another double-double
Rotowire
Giddey ended with 12 points (3-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 109-102 victory over the 76ers.
Giddey continues to shine as a scorer and playmaker for the Bulls, and he's tallied two double-doubles and two triple-doubles over his last five outings. This was the 13th time this season in which he recorded over 10 points and 10 assists in a single game, and his ability to fill the stat sheet and rack up stats makes him an elite fantasy contributor across all formats.
Bulls' Patrick Williams: Available against Philadelphia
Rotowire
Williams (illness) is available for Friday's game against the 76ers.
After being a late addition to the injury report, Williams is giving it a go for the first leg of the Bulls' back-to-back set. However, he's been falling out of the Chicago rotation of late, averaging 1.5 points, 1.0 rebounds and 0.8 assists in just 7.6 minutes per game over his last four contests.
Williams (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers.
Williams was a very late addition to the injury report. Friday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Bulls may proceed with caution. Williams has been held to single-digit minutes in his last three appearances, however.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Cleared to play Friday
Rotowire
Buzelis (leg) is not on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the 76ers.
Buzelis sustained a leg injury during the fourth quarter of the Bulls' 126-123 win over the Hawks on Tuesday, which prevented him from returning. The injury doesn't appear to be a long-term concern, and the second-year forward is on track to play Friday. Buzelis has averaged 16.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.7 threes, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals over 27.9 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

Bulls' Coby White: Drops team-high 24 points
Rotowire
White supplied 24 points (7-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 126-123 victory over the Hawks.
White scored at least 20 points for the fifth time in the past six games, leading Chicago to its fourth consecutive victory. He also added a season-high three steals for good measure, a welcome sight given his lack of defensive contributions thus far this season. While it has been somewhat slow-going, White appears to be getting his legs back after a delayed start to the season because of injury.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Modest role continues
Rotowire
Dosunmu chipped in six points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 126-123 victory over the Hawks.
Dosunmu played no more than 17 minutes for the third straight game, a downward trend that fantasy managers should be aware of. Although he can be a viable asset across most leagues, his production is heavily reliant on playing meaningful minutes. Through 23 appearances this season, Dosunmu is outside the top 150 in standard leagues, having averaged 26.2 minutes per game.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Fails to score in win
Rotowire
Williams contributed zero points (0-2 FG), one assist and one steal across six minutes during Tuesday's 126-123 win over the Hawks.
Williams failed to score for the second time in the past three games, continuing what has been another disappointing season. At this point, Williams' fantasy value is basically non-existent, despite the opportunities he continues to receive. Through 28 games, he is averaging just 6.7 points and 1.3 three-pointers in 19.3 minutes per game.
Giddey logged 19 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 assists and 11 rebounds over 36 minutes during the Bulls' 126-123 win over the Hawks on Tuesday.
Giddey dropped a season-high 15 assists during Tuesday's win, nine of which came in the first half, though he was also responsible for seven of the Bulls' 16 turnovers. That comes with the territory of being a ball-dominant guard, and Giddey's box-score production makes it somewhat easier to overlook his turnovers. He's up to seven triple-doubles on the year, which is a distant second to Nikola Jokic (14) this season. Over his last 10 outings, Giddey has averaged 19.2 points, 8.9 assists, 8.1 rebounds, 2.2 threes, 1.1 steals and 4.0 turnovers over 32.9 minutes per game.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Does not return Tuesday
Rotowire
Buzelis sustained an apparent leg injury in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 126-123 win over the Hawks, per Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and did not return.
Buzelis stepped on an opposing player's foot and limped to the locker room with 6:42 remaining in the final quarter. He returned to the bench shortly thereafter but never checked back in, finishing with 15 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two blocks across 18 minutes. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Friday's game against Philadelphia.
