Bulls' Leonard Miller: Double-doubles off bench
Miller logged 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Friday's 104-100 preseason loss to Memphis.
It was another strong preseason performance out of Miller, who was close to recording a double-double in the first half alone (eight points and eight rebounds). Even with a strong preseason to solidify his spot on the 15-man roster, Miller faces an uphill battle to playing time, as he figures to operate behind the likes of Patrick Williams, rookie Dailyn Swain, Jalen Smith (foot) and Zach Collins (toe).

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Chips in 13 points in Friday's loss
Giddey finished Friday's 104-100 preseason loss to Memphis with 13 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three assists, three rebounds and one block over 23 minutes.
Giddey was one of four Bulls players to score in double digits during Friday's exhibition contest, and he finished as the team's third-leading scorer behind rookie Caleb Wilson (21) and veteran Norman Powell (17). Giddey is aiming to build off a productive 2025-26 season, during which he averaged career highs across the board, including in points (17.0), assists (9.1) and rebounds (8.3), though his 44.8 percent field-goal rate were his lowest since his rookie campaign with the Thunder in 2021-22 (41.9 percent on 12.4 FGA/G).

Bulls' Norman Powell: Lives at charity stripe in preseason loss
Powell registered 17 points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT, 10-12 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 19 minutes during the Bulls' 104-100 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.
Powell attempted only six field goals during Friday's exhibition game, but thanks to his work at the charity stripe, he finished as the Bulls' second-leading scorer behind rookie Caleb Wilson (21 points). Powell inked a two-year contract with the Bulls in July following his 2025-26 All-Star campaign with the Heat and will form a starting backcourt with Josh Giddey for the upcoming season. Matas Buzelis left Friday's game early due to an ankle injury, and although it was likely a precautionary move to leave him off the court the rest of the way, it's an injury that could impact Powell's usage early on in the season.

Bulls' Caleb Wilson: Drills five triples in preseason loss
Wilson finished Friday's 104-100 preseason loss to the Grizzlies with 21 points (7-17 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-6 FT), four rebounds and one steal across 32 minutes.
Wilson struggled to get going in the first half, during which he scored one point while shooting 0-for-2 from the field in 16 minutes. However, he erupted for 20 points and shot 5-for-10 from downtown in the second half, finishing with a game-high 21 points. The rookie No. 4 overall pick has led the Bulls in scoring in both of their preseason games, totaling 36 points, seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 61 minutes.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Exits Friday's game early
Buzelis exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Friday's preseason game against the Grizzlies and will not return due to a right ankle injury, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports. He'll finish with six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one block in 12 minutes.
Buzelis appeared to twist his ankle earlier in the game but initially played through the injury. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's exhibition against Denver. With the 2024 first-rounder out for the remainder of the game, Dailyn Swain and Leonard Miller could see increased playing time.

Bulls' Tobe Awaka: Starting vs. Memphis
Awaka will start Friday's preseason game against the Grizzlies.
Nic Claxton (hamstring), Zach Collins (toe) and Jalen Smith (foot) are all unavailable, opening the door for Awaka to enter the starting five. The 22-year-old was highly productive in Wednesday's preseason-opening win over the Suns, recording 14 points, 11 rebounds, a steal and a block in 21 minutes.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Out Friday
Jones (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Jones is still considered day-to-day due to a left hip injury, with his next chance to play coming in Sunday's exhibition against Denver. In the meantime, Dailyn Swain and Jordan Hawkins could see increased playing time.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Ruled out Friday
Smith (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Smith is dealing with left foot soreness, and his next chance to suit up will come in Sunday's exhibition against Denver. With Nic Claxton (hamstring) and Zach Collins (toe) also out, Tobe Awaka and Leonard Miller figure to see increased burn Friday.

Bulls' Zach Collins: Sitting out Friday
Collins (toe) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

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.
