Bulls' Nic Claxton: Upgraded to questionable
Claxton (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday against the Knicks.
Claxton has now drawn his first questionable tag of the young season as he closes in on his debut. If he does get the green light, he may face restrictions early on. Jalen Smith (finger) and Zach Collins could lose some steam upon Claxton's return.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Probable for Wednesday
Smith is probable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks with a left finger sprain.
Smith is expected to play through the injury Wednesday, but his time as Chicago's starting center could be coming to an end. Nic Claxton (hamstring) is questionable to make his season debut, and his return would send Smith into a bench role.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Poor showing in loss
Buzelis contributed four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block across 23 minutes during Monday's 126-107 loss to the 76ers.
Buzelis endured a frustrating performance, committing five turnovers while attempting just five shots. The young forward has now scored 14 or fewer points in three consecutive appearances, and his limited offensive involvement Monday was particularly concerning. His ability to contribute across multiple categories offers fantasy upside, but inconsistent production remains an issue.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Comes close to double-double
Smith registered 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 28 minutes in Monday's 126-107 loss to the 76ers.
Smith provided efficient interior scoring and useful contributions on the glass while coming close to matching his season-high assist total. This was Smith's fifth double-digit scoring performance this season, and he has also recorded at least seven rebounds five times. His scoring and rebounding will drive his fantasy appeal on a young Chicago roster.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Dishes out 10 assists Monday
Giddey tallied 13 points (5-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists, a steal and two blocks across 32 minutes in Monday's 126-107 loss to the 76ers.
Giddey compensated for inefficient shooting with double-digit assists and three steals-plus-blocks, delivering useful fantasy production despite Chicago's struggles. His 10 assists were particularly encouraging given his relatively modest scoring output, making it the third time Giddey has dished out at least 10 assists this season in seven appearances. Giddey's role as the Bulls' primary facilitator continues to support his fantasy value, although inconsistent shooting and fluctuating rebounding totals can limit his ceiling. That said, he's trending in the right direction after averaging 11.8 points, 7.5 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game over his last four contests.

Bulls' Norman Powell: Goes for 18 points Monday
Powell posted 18 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-11 FT), three rebounds and two steals across 29 minutes in Monday's 126-107 loss to the 76ers.
Powell struggled with his shooting efficiency, and his lack of assists also limited his fantasy production. However, despite the inconsistency in his scoring numbers, there's a solid floor since Powell has scored at least 15 points in every game so far -- and he's reached the 20-point threshold twice. He should remain one of Chicago's go-to players on offense alongside young starlets Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson.

Bulls' Caleb Wilson: Strong all-around showing in loss
Wilson finished Monday's 126-107 loss to the 76ers with 24 points (9-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and four steals across 34 minutes.
Wilson turned in an efficient effort, particularly from three-point range, finishing as the Bulls' leading scorer. The rookie No. 4 overall pick also tied for the team lead in rebounds and paced all players in steals, supplying multiple swipes for the fourth time in seven regular-season games. The 20-year-old has been impressive on both ends of the floor to begin his NBA career, reaching the 20-point threshold five times while recording at least three combined steals-plus-blocks in all seven outings.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Will play Monday
Smith (finger) is active for Monday's game against Philadelphia.
As expected, Smith will suit up versus the 76ers. He's averaging 12.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 blocks in 24.2 minutes across six outings so far this season. With Nic Claxton (hamstring) still sidelined, Smith is likely to continue starting for the Bulls.

Bulls' Tobe Awaka: Good to go Monday
Awaka (ankle) is active for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Awaka was probable to suit up versus Philadelphia with a sprained left ankle, but he's going to play through it for the second straight contest. He'll provide center depth on the bench behind starter Jalen Smith (finger), although Awaka isn't expected to see much playing time.

Bulls' Nic Claxton: Out again Monday
Claxton (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Claxton appears to be trending in the right direction after practicing Sunday, but he's not yet ready to make his 2026-27 debut. His next chance to play will arrive Wednesday against the Knicks.

Bulls' Dailyn Swain: Not listed on injury report
Swain (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Swain was a late addition to the injury report Friday before being ruled out against the Celtics due to lower-back soreness. While he'll be available, the rookie isn't guaranteed minutes, having made only one 12-minute appearance during a 35-point loss in Boston over Chicago's first six games.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Expected to play Monday
Smith (finger) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Philadelphia.
Smith is battling a finger injury but is expected to suit up versus the 76ers. With Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) listed as doubtful, Smith will presumably remain in the starting lineup.

Bulls' Tobe Awaka: Probable for Monday
Awaka (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against Philadelphia.
Awaka played 12 minutes during Friday's 125-111 loss to the Celtics after missing one game with the ankle issue. The rookie big man will continue to provide depth off the bench for the Bulls behind Jalen Smith.

Bulls' Nic Claxton: Doubtful against Philadelphia
Claxton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against Philadelphia.
Claxton hasn't played this season. The former Net recently logged a full practice Sunday, and while he's moving in the right direction, he likely won't make his debut with Chicago on Monday. Assuming Claxton doesn't play against the 76ers, Jalen Smith (finger), who is probable, will presumably remain in the starting lineup at the five.

Bulls' Nic Claxton: Log full practice Sunday
Claxton (hamstring) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network.
With Claxton progressing from individual drills Monday to full practice participation Sunday, he appears to be moving in the right direction in his recovery from a hamstring injury that's cost him the start of the regular season. More clarity on Claxton's potential regular-season debut should surface Sunday night, when the Bulls release their injury report for Monday's game in Philadelphia.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Logs four steals in Friday's loss
Jones registered 12 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and four steals in 20 minutes during Friday's 125-111 loss to the Celtics.
Jones led the Bulls' bench in scoring Friday, and he also contributed defensively with four of Chicago's six steals. Jones has scored in double digits in five of the first six games of the regular season, but he's averaging only 18.2 minutes per contest off the bench after averaging 27.0 minutes per game across 65 regular-season contests (41 starts) during the 2025-26 campaign. He'll continue to be limited to a rotational role unless one of Josh Giddey or Norman Powell were to miss time.

Bulls' Noa Essengue: Chips in 10 points vs. Boston
Essengue chipped in 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT) and four rebounds across 16 minutes during Friday's 125-111 loss to the Celtics.
Essengue reached double-digit points for the first time this season, with nine of his points coming in just three minutes of playing time in the fourth quarter. The second-year pro is averaging 14.0 minutes off the bench this season, but he's not worth streaming even in the deepest of fantasy leagues unless more opportunities were to open up for him.
