Williams will be good to go after initially being listed as questionable, but with Nikola Vučević back, Williams will return to playing a role off the bench. He’ll be a solid reserve forward, but he isn’t a player that is worth rostering.

White is good to go for Friday’s game, but his minutes may be managed closely. However, having White on the floor for some minutes is better than having none at all. The Bulls face the Pacers on Saturday, so those who have White rostered should plan for the possibility that he does not play due to injury management.

Vučević will be back after a one-game absence. Bulls coach Billy Donovan mentioned that a “good number” of the originally questionable players will be on a minutes restriction, but that likely won’t limited Vučević’s role by much. Patrick Williams, who is still questionable with a wrist injury, will be bumped out of the starting lineup regardless of his status.

Huerter is back after missing Monday’s loss to the Pelicans. However, while his return will help the Bulls from a depth standpoint, Red Velvet may be on a minutes restriction. During his pregame availability, Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said some of the players returning from injury will be restricted, but he did not specify who. When restricted, Huerter offers little fantasy value.

Friday’s game will be the third that Okoro has missed due to left lumbar radiculopathy, and he does not have a return timeline. Ayo Dosunmu has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and that will remain the case on Friday. Even when Okoro is healthy, Dosunmu has been the superior option for fantasy managers.

Williams started Monday’s loss to the Pelicans, filling the void left by Nikola Vučević. He did not provide much production in that role and remains difficult to trust in any fantasy format. If Williams doesn’t play, Julian Phillips may pick up a few additional minutes off the bench, but it won’t be enough to make him fantasy-relevant.

Right calf strain injury management is the reason for White’s appearance on the injury report. With the Bulls ending the week with a back-to-back on Friday and Saturday, fantasy managers should assume that White will sit out one of those games. Tre Jones is the likely replacement if White misses time, and he’s worth rostering in deep leagues when allowed to start.

Vučević did not play in Friday’s loss to the Pelicans, and the Bulls missed him dearly, as the team’s lack of available size factored into New Orleans grabbing 19 offensive rebounds. If Vooch can play on Friday, Patrick Williams will head to the bench. Regardless of his place within the Bulls’ rotation, Williams should not be rostered in most redraft leagues.

Terry has missed Chicago’s last two games with a strained calf. While his availability doesn’t affect fantasy basketball, the Bulls have been lacking in perimeter depth recently due to injuries. Jevon Carter’s playing time has increased, but he is not someone to stream, especially on an 11-game day.

Okoro has missed Chicago’s last two games, and the doubtful tag suggests the streak will reach three on Friday. Ayo Dosunmu has been the replacement in the starting lineup and will retain that role. Already worth rostering in deep leagues, Ayo is worth considering in some 12-team formats as well.

Due to a pelvic injury and an illness, Huerter missed Monday’s loss to the Pelicans. The former injury is the only one listed on Friday’s injury report. With Huerter sidelined for their most recent game, the Bulls gave more minutes to Jevon Carter and Julian Phillips, but neither is in a position to be streamed if he misses another game.

Powell’s return from a one-game absence was an unspectacular one. He logged 29 minutes and recorded his lowest scoring total of the season, failed to make a three-pointer, and shot only 36.4 percent from the field. Wednesday also marked Powell’s first game alongside Tyler Herro, who recently made his season debut while Powell was out with a groin injury. How the two high-scoring guards play alongside one another will be fascinating from a fantasy basketball perspective. Nonetheless, the Heat captured their sixth straight win.

Adebayo scored at least 17 points for the fifth straight game on Wednesday. He needed only 29 minutes of game action to record double-digit rebounds, which led him to his sixth double-double of the season. The veteran center has produced solid numbers in his return from a toe injury and continues to be one of the Heat’s most relied-upon players. As long as he’s healthy, he’ll remain a productive fantasy basketball player who is a nightly double-double threat.

Herro, after scoring 24 points in his season debut on Monday, was even more impressive against the Bucks. He shot the ball efficiently again and got to the free-throw line consistently to nearly reach the 30-point mark by the game’s conclusion. He was also very involved as a facilitator on Wednesday, after not tallying any against the Mavericks. Herro’s balanced performance should be a sign of things to come — he led Miami in points, assists, and three-pointers per game last season.

With Powell and Wiggins returning from injury, the Heat have made two changes to their starting lineup. Pelle Larsson and Kel’el Ware head to the bench. While both will remain in the rotation, Ware is the one who should continue to be rostered in 12-team leagues. Wiggins is back after a three-game absence, so it’s possible that he doesn’t play full starters’ minutes on Wednesday.

Jović had missed Miami’s last four games, but will rejoin the rotation on Wednesday during the team’s five-game winning streak. He’ll likely come off the bench for the 14th time in 15 appearances to provide the Heat with a bit of a scoring boost. The fourth-year forward has struggled with his shooting efficiency thus far. However, he’s averaging career highs in rebounds and assists. A return to form from beyond the arc would help his fantasy production.

Jaquez was upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Wednesday, so the final upgrade was expected. He’ll continue to come off the bench, but there may be some concern about Jaquez’s fantasy value, given that Andrew Wiggins and Norman Powell are also available. He’s worth holding onto for now, but that could change down the road.

After sitting out Monday’s win over the Mavericks, Powell is back for the Heat. However, it’s unknown if he’ll start or come off the bench. If Powell resumes his usual duties as a starter, Pelle Larsson is the player most likely headed to the bench. However, Powell can provide excellent value as a reserve, serving as the primary scoring option for the second unit.

Jaquez and Smith were initially questionable for Wednesday’s game. Both are on track to play, and the Heat may have their full rotation as a result.

Given how things are trending, the Heat should be as close to full strength as they’ve been this season for the final game before Thanksgiving. Wiggins has missed the last three games, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Kel’el Ware. The second-year center will likely be bumped to the bench if Wiggins plays. As for Jović, he’ll provide additional depth off the bench but is unlikely to impact fantasy basketball in that role.

Smith is one of four Heat players questionable for Wednesday’s game due to hip injuries.

Jaquez played 33 minutes off the bench in Monday’s win over the Mavericks, and his playing time may decrease on Wednesday if he plays.

Wiggins has missed the last three games with a left hip flexor injury. If he remains out against the Bucks on Wednesday, Kel’el Ware will continue to start.

Jović has missed Miami’s last four games with a hip injury, freeing up additional minutes for Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio.

Powell missed Monday’s game with a groin injury, but his probable listing for Wednesday’s game against the Bucks indicates it shouldn’t be a lengthy absence for him.

Adebayo finished Monday’s game as one of four Heat players to score in double figures — despite not shooting well from beyond the arc, he utilized the free-throw line to find his scoring production. The veteran forward’s shooting has been inconsistent since returning from injury on November 19th, but he has consistently hovered around 20 points on a nightly basis. His rebounding has also been uneven as Kel’el Ware has dominated the glass recently. Adebayo should start to round back into for the further removed he is from the toe injury

Herro impressed in his season debut on Monday. He shot the ball efficiently and led the Heat in scoring on the night. Yet, he didn’t make a three-pointer, failed to register an assist, and didn’t get to the free-throw line. In other words, Herro still left a lot of meat on the bone. But it’s encouraging that he was able to have such a strong production regardless. As he continues to reintegrate himself, the production should only increase.

Ware’s fantastic stretch of basketball continued on Monday. Against the Mavericks, he notched his third straight game of at least 20 points and 14 rebounds — his three three-pointers and trio of triples gave him even more of a productive fantasy basketball night. After a bit of a slower start to the season, Ware has really taken off and proven again that he can produce alongside Bam Adebayo in the frontcourt. Regardless, his ceiling remains high as a nightly double-double threat in just his second year in the league.

Giddey finished Monday’s defeat with a solid stat line, but he was also responsible for five turnovers. This was the second time he’s hit that number in four games, and he’s averaging 3.6 turnovers per game for the season. Giddey is still providing top-40 value in nine-cat formats, and he’s a top-25 player in eight-cat. The Bulls end Week 6 with a back-to-back against the Hornets and Pacers on Friday and Saturday.

After scoring eight points on 2-of-9 shooting in Saturday’s win over the Wizards, Dosunmu was far more productive in New Orleans. The issue for him and the Bulls is that they couldn’t string together stops, as the Pelicans shot 51 percent from the field and grabbed 19 offensive rebounds. That’s how you give up 143 points, as the Bulls did. Rostered in 24 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Dosunmu is ranked just outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats this season.

Since making his season debut on November 16, White has scored at least 20 points in all four appearances. Monday may be a sign that his minutes restriction is no longer valid, as the Bulls guard played 35 of a possible 48 minutes. His previous high was 31 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Wizards. However, the Bulls have a back-to-back to end Week 6, so this may be a two-game week for White.

The Bulls didn’t have Nikola Vučević (knee) for Monday’s game, but head coach Billy Donovan decided to go small. The experiment of starting Patrick Williams (6/4/2 with two three-pointers) alongside Matas Buzelis lasted one half, as the Bulls gave up 74 first-half points and were bludgeoned on the glass. As a result, Smith replaced Buzelis (10/4/0/0/2 with two three-pointers) in the lineup to begin the third quarter and was solid in his 26 minutes on the floor. Whether Smith is worth a look moving forward will depend on Vučević’s availability and the schedule. Chicago ends Week 6 with a back-to-back on Friday and Saturday against the Hornets and Pacers.

The Bulls are without Nikola Vučević for Monday’s game, creating an opening in the starting lineup. However, they will go small, starting Williams at the five while Jalen Smith remains on the bench.

Herro will take the floor for the first time all season on Monday. He led the Heat in scoring a season ago, which is when he earned his first All-Star selection. His return comes on a day when the Heat will be without its leading scorer, Norman Powell, who is dealing with a groin injury. Fantasy managers should be prepared to be patient with Herro in the early going, with him potentially being under a minutes restriction as he works his way back into form. The Heat are fourth in the Eastern Conference standings.

Due to a sprained left wrist, Williams did not play in Saturday’s win over the Wizards. His absence led to more playing time for fellow reserve Julian Phillips, who played 10 minutes.

Having scored 20 points or more in six games this season, he’s posting career-high averages in points, rebounds and assists. Jaquez is rostered in 50 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but the percentage may decrease slightly during Week 6 due to the Heat’s poor schedule.

Powell came out hot on Sunday, scoring ten points in the first quarter. The Heat guard would finish with his fourth 30-point game of the season, once again leading the way offensively.
