Terry and Williams are on track to play against the Warriors. However, even with the absence of other rotation players, neither is in a position to affect fantasy basketball. While Williams and Terry can be held onto in dynasty leagues, there isn’t a need to hold onto either player in most redraft leagues.

White is back on the Bulls’ injury report, but the probable tag suggests he will ultimately be available to play. Look for him to take on his usual role starting alongside Josh Giddey.

Smith has missed Chicago’s last four games with a strained left hamstring, and it will likely be five straight on the sidelines come Sunday. With Zach Collins on track to play, Smith’s absence can be easily accounted for by the Bulls.

Okoro is likely to miss an eighth consecutive game as he continues to deal with left lumbar radiculopathy. While the absence of his production does not affect fantasy basketball, the Bulls have been forced to make do without their best perimeter defender. Julian Phillips has moved into the starting lineup, but he is not worth picking up in fantasy leagues.

Dosunmu did not play in Friday’s loss to the Pacers, freeing up rotation minutes for Jevon Carter and Dalen Terry. While the former hit four three-pointers and scored 14 points, neither player is worth the streaming risk in most leagues, especially since Coby White is on track to play.

Collins made his season debut on Friday, playing 21 minutes off the bench in a loss to the Pacers. He should take on the backup center responsibilities again on Sunday, but the playing time will likely decrease if the Bulls remain competitive. Starter Nikola Vučević played 26 minutes against Indiana.

Sexton will miss a second straight game after straining his left quad during Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks. KJ Simpson and Liam McNeeley have seen their playing time increase, as the Hornets are also without Tre Mann. Of the two, Simpson will likely play more on Sunday since LaMelo Ball is out.

Ball exited Friday’s win over the Raptors with a bone bruise in his left ankle. Due to his previous ankle injuries, this is a concern for the point guard and the Hornets. With Tre Mann and Collin Sexton also out, more minutes will become available to Sion James and KJ Simpson. Also, don’t be surprised if Kon Knueppel spends more time on the ball.

White returned after missing three games with a calf injury. The 25-year-old point guard played just 26 minutes due to a minutes restriction, but still led the Bulls is points and field goal attempts. The Bulls close out Week 7 with a matchup against the Warriors on Sunday and White should see more minutes then.

It was only a two-game absence for Miller, but it was good to see him back on the floor since he has already missed so much time this season after missing most of last season. It wasn’t a spectacular first game back, but he was able to play 30 minutes in a blowout win over the Raptors. LaMelo Ball injured his ankle, and if he remains out, Miller should see a bump in usage in the coming weeks.

Salaün spent most of November in the G League but returned to the Hornets for the last three games. During that stretch, he has averaged 14.7 points and 3.0 three-pointers per game. It’s an incredible hot stretch for Salaün, which is great to see after many have already labeled the 20-year-old a bust. He’s worth keeping an eye on, even if he isn’t worth rostering in standard leagues at this point.

Against the Knicks on Wednesday, Hornets coach Charles Lee made the switch to bump Kalkbrenner to the bench and start Moussa Diabaté. That only lasted one game and was likely to have a better matchup against Karl-Anthony Towns. Kalkbrenner returned to the starting lineup for this game and played 26 minutes while Diabaté logged 16 minutes. Kalkbrenner should start most of Charlotte’s games for the rest of the season.

LaMelo just can’t seem to keep his ankles healthy. He dealt with a right ankle injury in November, and now it’s the left ankle that will keep him sidelined for at least the remainder of Friday’s showdown. Hopefully it won’t keep him sidelined long, but both KJ Simpson and Sion James should be in line for more minutes with Ball unavailable. There should be an additional update on his status at some point this weekend.

Miller’s return will unsurprisingly push Sion James back to the bench. Also, after a one-game swap, Moussa Diabaté will head back to the bench, with Kalkbrenner returning to the starting lineup, though both bigs will continue to split the minutes at center.

Terry was initially listed as probable, so his availability isn’t surprising.

The rookie center was upgraded from questionable to available ahead of Friday’s contest against the Raptors. He has started 19 of the 20 games he’s appeared in, but came off the bench in his most recent appearance. He’s averaging 9.0 points and 6.8 rebounds per game so far and should see similar production regardless of whether he comes off the bench or starts.

White said on Wednesday that he hopes to be available for Friday’s game, but he was more certain about his chances of playing on Sunday against the Warriors.

Kalkbrenner injured his ankle during Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks and exited in the fourth quarter. Moussa Diabaté was the starting center in that contest, and he could retain the role on Friday, even if Kalkbrenner is available.

The good news is that Ball has been dealing with a sprained left wrist, and he’s a right-handed shooter. Plus, the probable tag suggests that he will be available on Friday.

Mann is questionable for Friday, so there’s no guarantee that he’s available.

Giddey’s triple-double was his fifth of the season and 23rd of his career. The 23-year-old shooting guard was highly efficient with 28 points on 14 attempts and 11 assists to just three turnovers. Giddey has returned fifth-round value so far this season.

Kalkbrenner did not start Wednesday’s game, with Moussa Diabaté (two points, eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 20 minutes) replacing him in the starting lineup. While the rookie still played more minutes, logging 25, his night ended prematurely due to a sprained left ankle. As a result, another start could be in the cards for Diabaté. As for who would round out the rotation if Kalkbrenner misses time, Tidjane Salaün (13 points, four rebounds, one steal and three three-pointers) was the choice to replace Diabaté after he picked up two early fouls, not Kalkbrenner.

There must be something about the Knicks that doesn’t agree with Knueppel, as he has struggled from three in both meetings. After missing all seven of his attempts in a November 26 loss to New York, he made one of his six attempts on Wednesday. Fantasy managers did receive solid value in the rebound and assist categories, but the rookie’s field-goal percentage took a hit. The good news is that nights like Wednesday have not been the norm for Knueppel, who was named Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month at the beginning of the week.

Ball got going offensively after halftime, hitting four of his five three-pointers. The final stat line was excellent for those who have him rostered, but the questions about the Hornets’ guard’s ability to impact winning will persist. Ball is providing top-50 value in eight-cat formats, and while that doesn’t align with his Yahoo! ADP (27), ht’s closing in on that number. The Hornets will finish Week 7 with games against the Raptors and Nuggets.

Sexton injured his left thigh during the third quarter of Wednesday’s game and has since been ruled out for the rest of the night.

On Monday, Salaün saw his first NBA action since November 2, and he took advantage of the opportunity. The second-year forward was one of five Hornets reserves to score at least eight points on a night when three starters (Miles Bridges, Ryan Kalkbrenner and Sion James) combined to score 15. Salaün’s Monday night does not make him a player worth adding, but there may come a point later in the season when the Hornets prioritize his playing time for developmental reasons.
