White amassed 42 points (15-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals in 43 minutes during Wednesday's 131-116 Play-In Game victory over Atlanta.
White enjoyed a career night during the elimination game and led the Bulls in scoring by a wide margin. The fight for the eighth seed seems like a futile cause with the Celtics looming as the eventual opponent, but few teams could have beaten the Bulls on Wednesday night, galvanized by White's stellar evening. His stat line is a reminder that White should be considered as a favorite to win Most Improved Player honors.
White (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
White has been upgraded from probable to available despite a left ankle sprain. White has struggled with his shot as of late, shooting just 36.8 percent from the field and 31.0 percent from three over his last 10 outings.

Bulls' Coby White: Injures ankle, won't return
Rotowire
White won't return to Friday's game against the Knicks due to a left ankle injury, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports. He finished with two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 14 minutes before exiting with 6:06 remaining in the second quarter.
The severity of White's ankle injury isn't known, so his status will be worth tracking heading into Sunday's game at Orlando. If White isn't able to shake off the injury in time for Sunday, Ayo Dosunmu would likely see more time on the ball and see a notable spike in his fantasy value.

Bulls' Coby White: Scores 22 points Monday
Rotowire
White posted 22 points (8-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Monday's 113-101 loss to the Hawks.
White reached the 20-point mark for the second time in his last five appearances, but despite the solid scoring figures, his shooting woes conspire against his upside a bit, particularly in category-based leagues. White is averaging 19.4 points per game but shooting a meager 38.6 percent from the field and 34.2 percent from deep in that stretch.

Bulls' Coby White: Poor shooting continues Friday
Rotowire
White closed Friday's 125-108 loss to Brooklyn with 18 points (6-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds and nine assists across 39 minutes.
White continues to struggle to score the basketball, going 6-of-16 from the floor and 3-of-5 from the line. While it has been a fantastic season for White, his production of late has been hampered by inefficient shooting. He remains a must-roster player, but managers shouldn't be afraid to sideline him if field-goal percentage is looking like a swing category.
White amassed 22 points (6-20 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one block over 36 minutes during Monday's 107-105 loss to the Wizards.
It's the first time since March 7 that White has scored 20-plus points, as he gets back on track following a three-game absence due to a hip strain. Over 10 contests on the month, the fifth-year guard has averaged 19.6 points, 4.8 assists, 4.2 boards and 2.6 threes, and injuries might be the only thing that will slow down White as he wraps up a breakout campaign.

Bulls' Coby White: Probable for Monday
Rotowire
White is listed as probable for Monday's game against Washington due to a right hip strain.
White has compiled 65 minutes of action across two appearances since returning from a three-game absence due to right hip soreness, so it's likely that his presence on injury report is more maintenance related. He's trending in the right direction to play Monday as he continues ramping up.

Bulls' Coby White: Double-doubles in loss
Rotowire
White posted 11 points (3-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and 10 assists over 36 minutes during Saturday's 124-113 loss to the Celtics.
White tallied a double-double in the loss, albeit an uninspiring one. While the double-digit assists are nice, his inefficient scoring was less than ideal. With that said, it was only his second game since returning from a hip injury. Managers should take solace in the fact that he is back on the court, and, barring any setbacks, should look to build on this performance in a favorable matchup against the Wizards on Monday.
