LaVine is probable for Friday's game against the Hornets due to low back spasms.
LaVine hasn't missed a game since he was forced to sit in three straight contests due to a thigh injury, and it's unclear if the spasms will force him to sit Friday. The veteran has been playing at a high level of late, and his potential absence would hurt the Bulls offensively. LaVine is averaging 22.8 points, 4.4 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor over his last 10 appearances.

Bulls' Zach LaVine: Suiting up Friday
Rotowire
LaVine (back) is available for Friday's game against the Pacers.
LaVine is coming off an 11-point, nine-rebound, nine-assist outing in the win over the Spurs on Thursday. Despite the quick turnaround, the back tightness won't prevent him from handling his usual workload on the second leg of the back-to-back set. LaVine is averaging 20.6 points, 4.4 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game over his last 10 outings.

Bulls' Zach LaVine: Expected to play Friday
Rotowire
LaVine is probable for Friday's game against the Pacers due to low back tightness.
LaVine nearly posted a triple-double during Thursday's win over the Spurs, finishing with 11 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in 31 minutes. The back tightness is a new designation for LaVine, who previously dealt with a lingering adductor injury, but it shouldn't stop him from handling his usual workload in the second half of Chicago's back-to-back set.

Bulls' Zach LaVine: Near triple-double Thursday
Rotowire
LaVine logged 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and nine assists across 33 minutes during Thursday's 139-124 victory over the Spurs.
LaVine wasn't as explosive on the offensive side of the floor in Thursday's game, but he did a little bit of everything else and was one assist and rebound shy from registering the first triple-double of his NBA career. In his 14 outings since returning from a three-game absence due to an adductor strain, LaVine has averaged 20.6 points on 50.9 percent shooting (including 40.8 percent from three on 7.0 3PA/G), 5.1 assists and 4.1 rebounds over 32.8 minutes per contest.

Rotowire
LaVine closed Monday's 128-102 win over the Nets with 18 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists and one steal in 26 minutes.
LaVine scored 29 points against the Celtics on Nov. 29 but has failed to crack the 20-point mark in three of his last four appearances. He remains productive, but LaVine needs to score at a high rate to stay valuable in most fantasy formats, as he doesn't stand out in any other particular category

Bulls' Zach LaVine: Scores 29 points vs. Boston
Rotowire
LaVine finished Friday's 138-129 loss to the Celtics with 29 points (11-22 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and one assist across 35 minutes.
LaVine bounced back admirably from his dreadful showing in the loss to the Magic on Wednesday, when he posted a season-low eight points while shooting 3-for-9 from the field. Despite that subpar outing, LaVine has been delivering solid numbers of late. He's scored at least 25 points in five of his last seven contests, averaging 23.1 points, 4.3 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game in that stretch.

The veteran wing saw his streak of games with at least 25 points end at four, but LaVine still had another strong performance from long distance. Since missing about a week early in November with an adductor strain, LaVine has shot 43.5 percent (30-for-69) from beyond the arc while averaging 22.3 points, 4.7 assists, 4.2 boards, 3.0 threes and 0.8 steals in 10 contests.

LaVine had an efficient shooting performance, but given how good the veteran has looked this season in that department, that shouldn't surprise many fantasy managers. LaVine has scored at least 25 points in four games in a row, representing his longest streak of the season reaching that tally.

Bulls' Zach LaVine: Leads Chicago in scoring

The Bulls suffered a 16-point loss, and LaVine was the only Chicago player who reached the 20-point plateau. Scoring numbers aside, what's even more surprising from LaVine this season is his efficiency. The star guard is making 51.2 percent of his shots from the field and 42.9 percent of his threes in eight appearances since the beginning of November.

Bulls' Zach LaVine: Probable for Monday
Rotowire
LaVine (adductor) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
LaVine had missed three games due to a right adductor strain, but he returned to the lineup for Saturday's 125-113 win over the Hawks and finished with 18 points, seven assists, two rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes. Unless he suffers a setback with the adductor leading up to Monday's 8 p.m. ET tipoff, he should be in the clear to play a normal minutes load.

Bulls' Zach LaVine: Scores 18 points in return
Rotowire
LaVine accumulated 18 points (7-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 125-113 victory over the Hawks.
The scoring figure wasn't eye-popping by any means, but LaVine was efficient with this shot -- despite his woes from three-point range -- and didn't look rusty after missing Chicago's previous three contests. The seven assists were a positive sign as well, and they represented a season-high mark in that category by a wide margin. LaVine should remain a solid fantasy contributor across all formats as long as he stays healthy, although most of his fantasy upside will be tied to what he can do as a scorer even if he delivers solid numbers in other categories from time to time.

LaVine (thigh) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
LaVine has missed the Bulls' last three games due to a thigh injury, but he will make his return Saturday.
