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.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Muted line in loss
Giddey totaled 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 25 minutes during Friday's 125-111 loss to the Celtics.
Giddey's 13 points were his most in a game so far this regular season, but he hasn't been able to stuff the stat sheet like he did in each of the two prior seasons. Part of his struggles may be due to a lingering left wrist injury from training camp, although he hasn't shown up on the Bulls' injury report as of late. Giddey's slow start to the season is of some concern, and he'll continue to face tough competition as the Bulls travel to Philadelphia to face the 76ers on Monday.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Grabs 12 boards in loss
Smith ended Friday's 125-111 loss to the Celtics with five points (2-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 27 minutes.
Smith was the only player who finished Friday's game with double-digit rebounds, although it was the second time in three games that he failed to score in double digits. The seventh-year center is averaging 12.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 blocks over 24.2 minutes per game to open the regular season. He'll continue to operate in a starting role for as long as Nic Claxton (hamstring) is out of action.

Bulls' Caleb Wilson: Full stat line in loss
Wilson finished Friday's 125-111 loss to the Celtics with 23 points (7-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes.
Wilson impressed in his first NBA Cup game, leading the Bulls in scoring while reaching the 20-point threshold for the fourth time across six regular-season appearances. The rookie No. 4 overall pick also doubled his previous career high in three-pointers made after shooting 22.2 percent from deep in his previous five appearances. He made an impact on the defensive end as well, matching the game-high mark in blocks. Wilson has yet to record fewer than three combined steals-plus-blocks in a game this season.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Cleared to play Friday
Smith (finger) is available for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Smith popped up on the injury report due to a left finger sprain, though it won't keep him off the floor versus Boston. With Nic Claxton (hamstring) sidelined, Smith has started in all five of the Bulls' regular-season games in 2026-27, averaging 13.4 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 23.4 minutes per outing.

Bulls' Dailyn Swain: Late addition to injury report
Swain is listed as questionable for Friday's game at Boston due to lower-back soreness.
Swain was a late addition to the injury report. He's been a healthy scratch in three of the last four games, so his potential absence wouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Will play Friday
Williams (groin) said he will play Friday against Boston, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Williams was listed as questionable on the official injury report, but he went through shootaround with no setbacks and has the green light to suit up. He's yet to see the floor this season and is not guaranteed minutes, to be clear.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Listed as questionable
Smith is questionable for Friday's game against Boston with a left finger sprain.
This is a new injury for Chicago's starting center, but he's considered day-to-day. If Smith is held out against Boston, the Bulls could lean more on Zach Collins.

Bulls' Tobe Awaka: Iffy for Friday
Awaka (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game in Boston.
Awaka continues to battle a left ankle sprain. The rookie big man could go through morning shootaround and pregame warmups before the Bulls update his status.
