Huerter is available after a four-game absence with a strained left adductor. With Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) unavailable, Huerter is one of the players who can help absorb those minutes. However, the combination of a potential minutes restriction and the presence of Isaac Okoro and Patrick Williams makes Huerter a challenging player to rely on in fantasy basketball.

Dosunmu will miss a second straight game with a sprained right thumb, leaving the Bulls down an option on the perimeter. Isaac Okoro, who is starting after returning from a lumbar injury, and Patrick Williams will absorb the minutes that would have gone to Dosunmu. Neither player should be considered a must-roster in most fantasy leagues.

Both Payton II and Curry have seen rotational minutes off the bench this season, but neither has seen enough run to be worth a look in standard fantasy leagues. Their potential absences could free up more playing time for the likes of Gui Santos, Pat Spencer and Will Richard, though none of those players are worth streaming.

Horford has now missed four straight and eight of Golden State’s last nine games. The clear priority is to ensure that the veteran center is healthy later in the season, so Horford’s minutes will likely be limited once he’s cleared to return. Quinten Post will continue to play consistent rotation minutes, but he offers a limited fantasy ceiling when Draymond Green is available.

Green will be available on Sunday after missing three games with a right midfoot sprain. Second-year center Quinten Post started all three games, and he may be headed to the bench on Sunday. While Post would remain in the rotation, he isn’t worth holding onto in most leagues when Green is playing.

While White is back on the injury report, fantasy managers should assume that he will be able to go on Sunday. If, for some reason, he cannot play, Tre Jones is the player to target for streaming value. Despite White and Giddey being available, Jones played 25 minutes off the bench on Friday and was part of Chicago’s closing lineup in Charlotte.

Injured during a December 1 loss to the Magic, Huerter has missed Chicago’s last four games with a strained left adductor. With Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) trending toward not playing on Sunday, Huerter would give the Bulls a welcome boost on the perimeter if he’s able to play. However, his fantasy upside is limited with Josh Giddey and Coby White both healthy.

Dosunmu has missed two of Chicago’s last three games, and it appears likely that he’ll miss a third on Sunday. Isaac Okoro’s return from a back injury gave Chicago a boost on Friday, and Patrick Williams also played well in the win over the Hornets. However, neither player is worth the risk in most fantasy leagues, especially with Okoro’s playing time being restricted.

Butler had a relatively quiet outing on Friday, despite leading the Warriors in rebounds and tying for the most assists. He made only 2-of-4 shots in the second half and registered just one point in the fourth quarter. The veteran forward’s scoring has slowed down in December compared to the previous two months. He’ll be in solid shape from a fantasy basketball perspective if he can regain his form as a scorer.

Despite not shooting the ball well, Post was Golden State’s second-highest scorer on the evening — the majority of his production came from beyond the arc, where he shot 4-of-11. He also made a decent impact on the boards in his 33 minutes. And while Post’s performance on Friday was nothing spectacular, it marked the fourth straight game he’s scored in double figures. He’ll have chances to produce solid fantasy basketball numbers if Draymond Green (foot) and Al Horford (back) continue to miss time.

Curry returned from a five-game absence and rounded right back into form. The two-time MVP logged 32 minutes and was a missed free throw away from cracking the 40-point mark in his first game back. Still, the high-scoring outing featured strong three-point shooting and efficient scoring inside the arc, along with a brilliant fourth-quarter display of shotmaking that got Golden State back in the game. Curry tied a team-high with assists along the way, and will have a day off to recover before getting back on the floor on Sunday against the Trail Blazers.

Okoro was back in the Bulls’ lineup after an eight-game absence. While it was announced before the game that he would be limited to 20 minutes, he wound up playing 26. The 15 points were four shy of his season-high, but the former lottery pick did not record any defensive stats in Charlotte. With Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) not seeing action, Patrick Williams picked up the slack off the bench, finishing with 16 points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in 26 minutes. While both had encouraging nights at the office, neither Okoro nor Williams should be considered in most redraft leagues.

After playing 21 and 19 minutes in his first two appearances of the season, Collins logged 20 minutes on Friday. While the production was good, the true attention-grabber was the fact that he was part of the Bulls’ closing lineup, with starting center Nikola Vučević (13/3/4 with one block and one three-pointer in 22 minutes) watching from the bench despite not being in foul trouble. With Jalen Smith (5/10/1/1/1 with one three-pointer) playing 17 minutes and sharing the court with Collins at times, this is a position to monitor in the short term. Chicago sticking with this setup would make Collins worthy of a look in deep leagues.

Of the eight games he’s played this season, White has scored at least 20 points in seven. While his field-goal percentage in Friday’s victory was lacking, the Bulls guard provided decent value in the rebounds category. With Josh Giddey running the show, White’s assist ceiling may be a bit limited, but he did enter Friday averaging 5.4 per game. The more significant issue for category league managers is the lack of defensive production, which limits White’s fantasy ceiling.

Giddey and the Bulls ended their seven-game losing streak on Friday, with the point guard recording an impressive stat line. He finished with his 15th double-double of the season and is halfway to his 2024-25 total. In his two prior appearances, Giddey totaled 27 points on 8-of-24 shooting from the field. Facing one of the NBA’s worst defenses, Giddey’s efficiency as a scorer improved, and he finished with a nearly 3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. The Bulls end Week 8 with a game against the Pelicans on Sunday.

Curry is back after missing five games with a left quad contusion/strain, and his inclusion is the lone change to the starting lineup. He replaces rookie Will Richard, with Spencer remaining in the starting five due to his current hot streak. Richard will still get rotation minutes, but the move to the bench lowers his fantasy ceiling.

According to Cowley, the Timberwolves are “looking to fix the primary ball-handling situation that’s been an issue all season long,” and they are “not looking to wait until February and the trade deadline to get a deal done.” Anthony Edwards has been playing a fair amount of point guard, or initiating more of the offense for the Timberwolves, but that apparently doesn’t feel sustainable for them. White turned down an extension with the Bulls last offseason and wanted “to bet on himself and explore unrestricted free agency come next July,” so the Bulls may prefer getting something in return for him, rather than risk letting him walk for free.

Smith has missed the last five games with a hamstring injury but will return on Friday. The wrinkle is that Zach Collins (wrist) returned to the court for the first time this season while Smith was sidelined.

Curry has missed the last five games with a left quad contusion/strain.

Butler helped carry Golden State to an impressive victory on the second night of a back-to-back after sitting out the front-end with left knee soreness. The 36-year-old playmaker did a little bit of everything with Stephen Curry (quad), Draymond Green (foot) and Al Horford (sciatica) all out of the lineup in this one, pulling down eight boards while also dishing out six assists.
