Dosunmu (illness) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
Although the Bulls sent Dosunmu home from Monday's practice due to an illness, the guard is likely to be available Tuesday.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Listed as questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Dosunmu (calf) is officially listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Dosunmu appears to be on the precipice of returning to Chicago's lineup after suffering a right calf strain in late December. If the 24-year-old doesn't suit up Tuesday, fantasy managers can have an eye on him returning during the second leg of the Bulls' back-to-back Wednesday against the Hawks. There hasn't been a direct beneficiary of Dosunmu's absence, but Josh Giddey and Zach LaVine could be required to handle the lion's share of the ball-handling duties if both Dosunmu and Coby White (neck) are sidelined against New Orleans.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Productive outing in victory
Rotowire
Dosunmu chipped in 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Thursday's 117-108 win over Boston.

As long as Dosunmu remains a member of Chicago's starting lineup, which he's done for the last 12 contests, the 25-year-old wing's production should continue to benefit from a fantasy perspective with the more consistent playing time.
