Chicago’s frontcourt rotation could be razor thin for the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Nick Richards figures to see a big uptick in minutes. Leonard Miller should earn some extra playing time, too.

Sexton has missed the Bulls’ last two games with a leg injury and is likely to miss a third. Rob Dillingham’s playing time has increased, but he’s struggled to take advantage of the opportunity on most nights due partly to a lingering wrist injury. However, Dillingham was productive in Thursday’s loss to the Lakers.

Smith will likely get the night off due to right calf strain injury management, and Okoro will sit out another contest. With Guerschon Yabusele (foot) and Patrick Williams (ankle) listed as questionable, Nick Richards could see a huge boost in playing time.

Clayton Jr. will likely sit out a third straight game, but Ty Jerome and Cam Spencer are available after sitting out Thursday. Jerome and Spencer should pick up the slack in the backcourt, and Javon Small could earn some meaningful rotation minutes.

Aldama will sit out again, and he has no timeline to return to the court. In his absence, Olivier-Maxence Prosper should remain with the starting five. Taj Gibson (conditioning) could see a couple of minutes if he’s available, but his role will be negligible at best.

Both players appeared in Thursday’s loss to the Mavericks, and both could end up sitting out the second leg of Memphis’ back-to-back set. If Jackson and Wells sit this one out, Cedric Coward and Taylor Hendricks could earn some additional run.

Spencer and Jerome were two of the numerous Grizzlies who sat out Thursday’s matchup with Dallas, but they should handle their typical workloads against Detroit. Javon Small and Jahmai Mashack could see fewer minutes with Spencer and Jerome available.

Miller logged 31 minutes on Thursday, which was enough to score in double figures for a second straight game and finish one rebound shy of back-to-back double-doubles. The third-year forward has seen his opportunities increase in his short tenure in Chicago following a midseason trade from Minnesota. So far, he’s showing potential to be a double-double threat if the minutes are high enough.

On the heels of a career-best 41-point outing against the Warriors, Buzelis finished Thursday’s contest as one of seven Bulls players to score in double figures; his four three-pointers led him to the second-highest scoring total on the team. Meanwhile, his four stocks on the defensive end were the most of any Chicago player on Thursday. Buzelis has been trending in the right direction for quite a while now and should remain one of the Bulls’ most relied upon players down the stretch of the season.

The Bulls had a fine night on the offensive end, as they were carried by their do-it-all point guard. Giddey shot the ball with extreme confidence from beyond the arc and was masterful as a playmaker en route to his 23rd double-double of the season. He did commit six turnovers, but was otherwise very productive from a fantasy standpoint. He’s now tallied three straight double-doubles with a chance for a fourth consecutive on Friday against the Clippers.

Having missed the Grizzlies’ last three games with sesamoiditis in his right great toe, Pippen will now undergo a season-ending sesamoidectomy to address the issue. He underwent a similar procedure in October, which delayed the guard’s season debut until early February. Pippen only appeared in ten games this season, finishing with averages of 11.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 21.2 minutes. With Ty Jerome having recently missed some games, Javon Small and Cam Spencer will have added fantasy value for the rest of this season.

Small was one of Memphis’ most productive players on Thursday. He fell just one point and one assist shy of a 20/10 double-double, and also finished as one of the Grizzlies’ most reliable three-point shooters on the evening. The rookie guard is now averaging 16.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 6.3 assists over his last three games. He’ll have a chance to land another strong performance on Friday against the Pistons.
MEM • Power Forward • #45

Jackson extended his streak of double-digit scoring performances to 13 games on Thursday, with efficient shooting leading him to finish as one of two Grizzlies with at least 20 points. He missed a couple at the line and was cold from beyond the arc, however, leaving some points on the floor. Jackson hasn’t consistently contributed in many other ways of late, but has shown the potential to be a good rebounder. He’ll likely remain one of the Grizzlies’ key contributors down the stretch of the season.

Wells was active on both ends of the floor on Thursday. On offense, he was primarily a scorer, using the free-throw line and strong efficiency both inside and outside the arc to land good scoring production. He recorded a few stocks on the defensive end to boost his fantasy production before finishing with a solid final line in the loss. Wells continues to shoot the three-pointer well in his minutes. He shouldn’t be considered much more than a streaming option.

The Bulls won’t have Guerschon Yabusele for Thursday’s game, as he’s out with a sore left foot. As a result, they’re going smaller, with Jones returning to the starting lineup. This change also shifts Smith down a position, as he’ll serve as the starting center.

Both players were downgraded to doubtful, which is never a good sign this close to tip-off.

Smith had been listed as probable, so a downgrade this close to game time is never a great sign. The Bulls have another game on Friday, so it seems likely that Smith will sit this one out, which will give Nick Richards a much larger role.

Smith played 34 minutes in Tuesday’s overtime win over the Warriors, recording a double-double despite shooting 3-of-13 from the field. The Bulls play on Thursday and Friday, so Smith may not be available for the second game of the back-to-back if he plays against the Lakers.

Yabusele is dealing with a sore left foot. While the production has tailed off recently, he has done enough to remain in the Bulls’ starting lineup. Isaac Okoro (knee) may be able to return; if so, he could fill the void if Yabusele can’t play, which pushes Jalen Smith to the five.

Despite being moved to the bench for Tuesday’s game, Jones remained productive. The 22 points were the most he’s scored in a game since January 13, when he dropped 34 in a loss to the Rockets. Add in the rebounds and assists, and this was another good night for those who have Jones on their fantasy rosters. Even if he continues to come off the bench, Jones has been effective enough to merit rostering in 14-team leagues.

While he didn’t have a good night shooting the ball from the field, Smith came up big when the Bulls needed him most at the foul line. He shot 4-of-4 from the charity stripe in the final second of regulation, with the last two forcing overtime. More important than Smith’s shooting numbers was his playing 34 of a possible 53 minutes despite his recent calf strain. If the Bulls stick to playing him starters’ minutes, Smith will be a must-roster player for the silly season.

Matas Buzelis wasn’t the only Bull to put up a career-high number in Tuesday’s overtime victory. Giddey did so in the assist category while recording his tenth double-double of the season. There weren’t any defensive stats to speak of, but Giddey managers will be fine with the production they received. The Bulls have two more games in Week 20, a back-to-back on Thursday and Friday against the Lakers and Clippers. That could pose an issue for Giddey, even though he did play both games of Chicago’s most recent back-to-back.
CHI • Small Forward and Power Forward • #14

The sprained ankle that sidelined Buzelis for Sunday’s win over the Suns was not an issue on Tuesday, as the second-year forward enjoyed the most productive scoring night of his career. Not only did Buzelis record his first 40-point game, but he became the second-youngest player in franchise history to do so, trailing Elton Brand. Given where the Bulls are in the standings, figuring out how heavy a workload Buzelis can shoulder should be one of the team’s priorities over the final month of the regular season. If that’s the approach the Bulls take, that would be good news for fantasy managers.

Jerome sat out the first leg of this back-to-back but was available and starting for this one. He played a season-high 23 minutes in his last appearance and surpassed that with 25 minutes in this one. They’ll continue to manage his minutes and games, but he has been fantastic when he’s been on the floor. Despite the restrictions, Jerome has been productive enough to be worth keeping around in standard leagues, though his upside will be capped.

After sitting out Monday’s loss to Brooklyn, Coward returned to take on Philadelphia. Despite playing just 23 minutes, Coward was able to record a double-double, which included him matching his career high for boards in a game. Coward has had a strong rookie season, but his availability has been spotty, and his minutes have been limited when he has played. Don’t expect that to change with the Grizzlies tanking.

With Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. sitting out Monday’s game, Small made his fourth start of the season in Brooklyn. And this was his most productive game as a starter, with the final stat line only lacking a blocked shot.

Nights like Monday will go a long way toward him getting more than a two-way deal in the future. The Grizzlies’ wing played 36 minutes off the bench due to the team’s many absences, recording the first 20-point game of his career. As a two-way player, Rupert isn’t guaranteed to be available every night because of the 50-game limit.
