Bulls' Dailyn Swain: Impressive in preseason opener
Swain produced 10 points (3-3 FG, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals over 22 minutes in Wednesday's 124-117 preseason win over the Suns.
The rookie first-rounder impressed in the preseason opener, leading the second unit in dimes. Swain appears likely to have an Opening Night role off the bench, but his fantasy value should be limited while the Bulls are healthy.

Bulls' Leonard Miller: Strong showing off bench
Miller finished with 14 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 124-117 preseason win over Phoenix.
Miller delivered an efficient offensive performance off the bench while adding two steals and committing no turnovers. The 22-year-old forward will look to build on the encouraging showing as he competes for minutes in Chicago's frontcourt, although his regular-season role remains uncertain.

Bulls' Norman Powell: Efficient in preseason debut
Powell recorded 14 points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one assist and one steal in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 124-117 preseason victory over Phoenix.
Powell made an immediate impact in his first preseason appearance with Chicago, connecting on three triples while requiring just four field-goal attempts. The veteran wing appears poised to provide the Bulls with an established perimeter scoring threat alongside Josh Giddey, though his offensive role will become clearer as the preseason progresses.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Hands out seven dimes
Giddey finished with seven points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one block in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 124-117 preseason win over Phoenix.
Giddey struggled with his shot but remained effective as a facilitator, leading Chicago in assists during the preseason opener. The 24-year-old guard should continue serving as the Bulls' primary playmaker, with his contributions in assists and rebounds providing fantasy value even when his scoring is limited.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Busy on defense in Wednesday's win
Buzelis produced 14 points (6-15 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding three rebounds, two steals, two blocks and one assist over 26 minutes during Wednesday's preseason win over the Suns.
The third-year forward couldn't find his shot from beyond the arc, but Buzelis made up for it with a strong defensive effort. Buzelis took a big step forward in his second NBA campaign, nearly doubling his scoring average to 16.3 points and delivering 5.8 boards, 2.2 threes, 2.1 assists, 1.5 blocks and 0.7 steals over 77 regular-season contests, and further improvement seems likely for the 21-year-old as the Chicago roster gets better around him.

Bulls' Caleb Wilson: Leading scorer in preseason win
Wilson scored a team-high 15 points (6-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) while contributing three rebounds, two assists and a steal over 29 minutes in Wednesday's preseason win over the Suns.
The Bulls got balanced scoring up and down the lineup, as six different players delivered 13 or more points, but Wilson's 15 led the way. The fourth overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft is set to be Chicago's starting power forward Opening Night, and while his willingness to chuck it up from long range is encouraging for his long-term fantasy outlook, it's likely to be a drag on his scoring efficiency as a rookie.

Bulls' Tobe Awaka: Double-doubles with two stocks
Awaka produced 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one steal and one block over 21 minutes in Wednesday's 124-117 preseason win over the Suns.
With Nic Claxton (hamstring) and Zach Collins (toe) already banged up, Awaka is an intriguing guy to monitor this preseason. Though undersized, he's a superb rebounder, so he could earn minutes in the rotation if the Bulls' bigs aren't healthy to start the year.

Bulls' Zach Collins: Won't go Wednesday
Collins (toe) won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Suns, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Collins will remain sidelined for the Bulls' preseason opener, though head coach Tiago Splitter said he's close to returning, per Johnson. Collins' next chance to play in the preseason will come Friday against Memphis.

Bulls' Jaylin Sellers: Won't play Wednesday
Sellers (back) won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Sellers is dealing with a bout of lower-back soreness. The two-way player's next chance to play is Friday against Memphis.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Won't play Wednesday
Jones won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Jones will he held out of Chicago's preseason opener. The 26-year-old guard's next opportunity to play will come in Friday's preseason matchup with the Grizzlies.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Starting against Phoenix
Smith will start in Wednesday's preseason game against Phoenix, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Smith will start for the Bulls to begin the preseason. That trend could extend into the regular season, considering Nic Claxton (hamstring) may not be available. Smith started in 21 regular-season games during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 12.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 24.6 minutes per contest in those appearances.

Bulls' Zach Collins: Limited at Tuesday's practice
Collins (toe) was a big part of Tuesday's practice, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
Coach Tiago Splitter said Collins probably needs a bit more time before getting the green light to return. For now, he can be considered questionable at best for Wednesday's preseason game against the Suns.

Bulls' Jordan Hawkins: Inks two-way deal with Chicago
Hawkins signed a two-way contract with the Bulls on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Hawkins will help back up the guard spots in Chicago, but as long as the main guys are healthy, it'll be tough for him to find a meaningful role in the rotation. Through three years of NBA experience, Hawkins owns career averages of 8.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 triples per contest.

Bulls' Nic Claxton: Tweaks hamstring
Claxton tweaked his hamstring and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network of the Bulls Radio Network reports.
This is a huge blow for Claxton, and it rules him out for the entire preseason. For now, fantasy managers can consider him questionable for Opening Night on Oct. 21 against the Raptors. Jalen Smith is the next man up on the depth chart for Chicago, followed by Zach Collins (toe).

Bulls' Caleb Wilson: Adjusting to NBA practices
Wilson is acclimating to NBA practices, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network.
"Honestly, my first two days, it seemed like everything was moving so fast because you're going against NBA talent and everybody's athletic, and the gaps close really fast. But now, it's way more chill. [Friday] was a really good day for me," Wilson said. After Wilson was selected by the Bulls with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, the rookie forward is expected to be thrust into a big role immediately and is being treated as a mid-round player in most fantasy drafts.

Bulls' Isaac Okoro: Likely to play big role
Okoro is expected to play significant minutes this season, with head coach Tiago Splitter calling him Chicago's "best perimeter defender," Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
Splitter praised Okoro's physicality, relentlessness and ability to navigate screens while stating that the veteran wing will "definitely" play a lot. Okoro's defensive value should provide him with a consistent path to playing time even within a deep Bulls rotation, though his offensive role could remain relatively modest.

Bulls' Isaiah Stevens: Signs on with Chicago
Stevens signed a contract with the Bulls on Thursday.
Stevens was waived by Sacramento in July, but he's since earned another opportunity after putting pen to paper on a deal with Chicago. He's been unable to catch on at the NBA level so far in his young career, and he's likely destined to begin the 2026-27 season in the G League.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Clean bill of health
Smith said Thursday he is 100 percent healthy after a lingering calf issue ended last season early, per Will Gottlieb of CHGO Bulls.
Smith got a chance to start for the Bulls at times in 2025-26 as they searched for Nikola Vucevic's replacement, averaging 12.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.8 blocks in 24.6 minutes per tilt across 21 regular-season games as a starter last season. Now that Claxton is in the picture, Smith appears primed to revert to the No. 2 center role in 2026-27, which could cap his upside from a fantasy perspective. Availability has also been a concern for Smith throughout his career, as he's never reached the 70-game mark in any of his first six seasons and couldn't finish last year with the aforementioned calf problem.

Bulls' Jalen Bridges: Signed by Chicago
Bridges agreed to a contract with the Bulls on Wednesday.
The terms of the contract weren't made public, though it's likely a camp deal for Bridges. The 25-year-old went undrafted in 2024. Since then, he has mostly played in the G League. However, Bridges has some NBA experience, logging eight games with the Suns during the 2024-25 campaign and averaging 1.1 points in 3.8 minutes per contest.

Bulls' Dailyn Swain: Ready for training camp
Head coach Tiago Splitter expected all of the Bulls to practice for the start of training camp Monday, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network.
Swain missed the Summer League finale with wrist soreness but sounds to be ready to go for the start of camp. The rookie first-rounder is set to battle with Isaac Okoro and Patrick Williams for playing time on the wing as a reserve to begin the year.
