Phillips will be back after missing Chicago’s last two games with a wrist injury. However, his role this season has been a minimal one, so his return won’t alter the Bulls’ rotation.

Mitchell will remain out for a second straight game, which leaves the starting point guard spot open. Pelle Larsson filled it on Thursday, though he was unproductive in his 31 minutes. Kasparas Jakucionis did more with his 27 minutes, though a matchup with this Thunder defense isn’t ideal for a rookie point guard.

Jaquez will remain out for a second straight game, which will leave open minutes off the bench. Kasparas Jakucionis played 27 minutes on Thursday, leading all Heat reserves. Nikola Jovic and Simone Fontecchio also should take on extra minutes with Jaquez still out.

If Herro is sidelined, there will be a second spot open in the starting lineup, with Davion Mitchell (shoulder) already out. Kel’el Ware started during Herro’s most recent absence, though Dru Smith and Kasparas Jakucionis should also see a bump in minutes of Herro is unavailable.

Powell did his best to stave off Boston’s late rally with a couple clutch buckets, but the damage was already done as Miami wound up squandering a nearly 20-point lead. The 32-year-old scorer did most of his damage in the midrange, going just 1-of-3 from beyond the arc, while getting to the line a team-high five times. He’s been a reliable scoring threat this season for fantasy managers, averaging 23.9 points through 35 games.

Herro has had a ton of success, historically speaking, against the Celtics and that trend continued in the first half as he helped Miami race out to an early double-digit lead, supplying 15 first-half points on 6-of-9 from the floor, including 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. He cooled off in the second half as the Heat were unable to hold off Boston’s late rally, which was fueled by a red-hot Anfernee Simons. The 26-year-old sharpshooter, who came into this one battling rib and toe issues, has scored at least 17 points in five straight games since making his season debut back on January 6.

The Heat are without Davion Mitchell, who’s out with a left shoulder contusion. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Larsson, which means more on-ball playmaking duties for Herro and Powell.

Huerter is dealing with tightness in his right hip flexor, but the probable tag suggests he’ll be available to play. He most recently played 19 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Jazz. While Huerter’s playing time has been consistent, the role isn’t good enough to make him much more than a deep-league streamer.

Herro was initially listed as probable. His toe had kept him out for 11 games, but he has played in four of the last five since returning. It appears he’ll play in yet another one as the team manages his toe injury.

Mitchell was initially listed as doubtful after leaving Tuesday’s game against the Suns with a shoulder contusion, so his being out for tonight is not a huge surprise. Pelle Larsson should see more minutes in his absence.

Jović played just six minutes last game, but it appears that he will be good to go on Thursday. With Jamie Jaquez (knee) ruled out on Thursday, having Jović available will be crucial for Miami.

This is a new injury for Jaquez, who has played in the last three games for the Heat. As of now, Jaquez is simply listed as having soreness, so he may not be facing an extended absence. He could return on Saturday against the Thunder. Nikola Jovic should see more minutes with Jaquez out.

White struggled in his first game back from a calf injury that sidelined him in Tuesday’s loss to the Rockets. He was limited to 30 minutes of action on Wednesday and didn’t have his usual impact as a scorer. He also logged five turnovers and struggled with his ball security, despite being having a good game as a facilitator. White is having a down season relative to his recent campaigns, but he will have a chance to bounce back on Friday against the Nets.
CHI • Shooting Guard • #11

Donsunmu bounced back from an unspectacular performance against the Rockets to put up some solid numbers in a winning effort against the Jazz on Wednesday. The fifth-year guard scored efficiently and was impactful with his playmaking against Utah to finish as one of Chicago’s top scorers and assisters. The double-figure scoring performances marked the sixth of January for Dosunmu, who continues to have one of his best seasons as a pro.
CHI • Center • #9

Vučević had himself another productive performance on Wednesday, going for 20 or more points for the third time already in January and reaching the 30-point mark for the first time all season. Efficient shooting led to his season-high, and the veteran center was also impactful as a facilitator in this game. He finished as Chicago’s leading scorer on the night in the win and will have a chance for another strong outing on Friday against the Nets.

White did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Rockets, opening up a place in the starting lineup for Jalen Smith. Smith played 36 minutes against Houston; he’ll head back to the bench, with his playing time taking a hit.

Giddey has not appeared in a game since December 29. He was a limited participant in Monday’s non-contact practice, but the Bulls’ guard is progressing well in his recovery. According to Donovan, “this is a big week” for Giddey. Tre Jones has been the starter, and he’s worth streaming while the Bulls await Giddey’s return.

Mitchell had to exit Tuesday’s win over the Suns with a left shoulder contusion, and he’s on track to miss Thursday’s game. His absence would mean more opportunities for Jaime Jaquez Jr., Pelle Larsson and Dru Smith, with one moving into the starting lineup.

This was a seventh straight start for Jones, and while the assists have come consistently, the points have been up and down. However, he had an insanely hot night as a scorer, which led to a new career high for points. Jones will continue to start and be worth rostering as long as Josh Giddey (hamstring) remains out, but with Coby White (calf) likely back against the Jazz, Jones isn’t going to have a repeat of this performance in the near future.
CHI • Center and Power Forward • #7

Smith was available off the bench in Chicago’s last game after a two-game absence, but he was back in the starting unit for this one with Coby White (calf) sidelined. He had a subpar shooting night and missed all five of his three-point attempts, but he did come close to recording a double-double. This was the first night of a back-to-back, so White should return to play the Jazz on Wednesday, which may push Smith back to the bench.
MIA • Guard • #11

Jaquez Jr. played 31 minutes off the bench Tuesday with Davion Mitchell going down with a shoulder injury. While the extent of Mitchell’s injury is unknown for now, Jaquez Jr. is still available in most leagues and would be worth streaming if Mitchell were to miss more time. Pelle Larsson could also see extra minutes off the bench if Mitchell remains out Thursday against the Celtics.
MIA • Center-Forward • #13

Adebayo’s 29 points were a game-high. The 28-year-old center was incredibly efficient, taking only 15 attempts from the field, going 3-of-4 from the foul line and 4-of-6 from behind the three-point line. It was his first game with at least 20 points since December 15, nearly a full month ago. Adebayo will look to have another good game Thursday against the Celtics.

With under a minute left and the game tied at 118, Powell hit a three-pointer, his fourth of the game, to put the Heat ahead for good. Powell was initially questionable with a back injury, but played 32 minutes in the game. He’s provided seventh-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Heat are off until Thursday when they have a matchup with the Celtics at home.

Giddey being able to do some work during Monday’s practice is a step in the right direction. However, he still wasn’t a full participant in the non-contact session. Based on the timeline provided on December 31, Giddey should be re-evaluated sometime this week. While he’s sidelined, Tre Jones will continue to serve as the starting point guard alongside Coby White.

Wiggins was electric from beyond the arc in this one, knocking down a season-high seven three-pointers, while recording his first 20-point effort since December 27. The 30-year-old veteran has experienced a significant decline in the scoring department this season, averaging just 16 points through 35 games. He got a few additional creation opportunities with top scorer Norman Powell missing this contest with a back issue. The Heat kick off a busy three-game week on Tuesday against the Suns before facing the Celtics and Thunder to close it out.

Larsson scored 16 points for the second time in his last four games. The lack of a consistent role limits his scoring appeal and extinguishes his immediate fantasy appeal. However, he would be the primary beneficiary from a minutes standpoint if Norman Powell winds up requiring a lengthy absence. It’s a situation to monitor in deeper fantasy leagues.

Herro attempted only three three-pointers in his third contest since making his season debut back on January 6. The 26-year-old sharpshooter has hoisted at least 15 shot attempts in all three contests and is averaging 21.8 points.

Powell is a late addition to the Heat injury report, which is a concerning turn for fantasy managers.

Herro returned to the starting lineup Saturday in his second game back from a toe injury. Somewhere along the way, the 25-year-old point guard also picked up a rib contusion. Now Herro is questionable against the Thunder on Sunday. Kel’el Ware had just two points with Herro starting Saturday and would seem to benefit if Herro is out Sunday.

Smith was back in the Bulls’ rotation after a two-game absence, and the playing time wasn’t too far removed from his season average (17.7 mpg). He didn’t shoot the ball well, but the rebounds and blocks will be helpful for deep-league managers who have Smith rostered. The Bulls begin a four-game Week 13 with a back-to-back on Tuesday and Wednesday, so there may be some questions regarding Smith’s availability.

Matching up with Cooper Flagg for the first time this season, Buzelis had a good night. However, it could have been much better for the second-year forward, who missed all five of his three-point attempts. As a result, Buzelis failed to record his third consecutive 20-point game. The most significant issue for Buzelis in fantasy basketball recently has been the foul line, where he has made 66.7 percent of his attempts over the past two weeks. He’s shooting 77.2 percent for the season, so there shouldn’t be too much concern about a player offering top-100 fantasy value.

For the first time this season, Vučević has recorded double-doubles in three consecutive games. The Bulls spread the wealth offensively on Saturday, with seven players scoring in double figures. Vooch supplemented his double-double with a few assists and three “stocks,” the most in a game for him since December 21. Shooting 55.4 percent from the field, Vučević has been close to a top-25 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

For the first time this season, Dosunmu has scored at least 20 points in consecutive games. His overall stat line was excellent, with the Bulls’ guard having an efficient night at the office. Add in the assists and steals, and this was a good way for Dosunmu to end Week 12. The Bulls begin a four-game Week 13 with a back-to-back on Tuesday and Wednesday. How high Dosunmu’s fantasy ceiling is depends partly on the availability of Josh Giddey (hamstring), who should be re-evaluated soon, per the timeline provided at the time of his injury.

The Bulls ended their three-game losing streak on Saturday, with offensive balance being the reason. White led seven Bulls in double figures with 22 points, making his first start since December 29. When available, his fantasy value has not met the expectations of fantasy managers, with White ranked just inside the top-150 in eight-cat formats. The Bulls begin a four-game Week 13 in Houston on Tuesday, and that’s the first game of a back-to-back.

As a team, the Heat shot 4-of-30 from beyond the arc in Saturday’s 123-99 loss. Powell was part of the problem, as he shot 1-of-7 from deep while Tyler Herro was 1-of-8. Fantasy managers can take solace in the fact that Powell has been highly productive on most nights, which should be an indicator of his ability to bounce back. He’ll look to do so in Miami’s final game of Week 12 on Sunday against the Thunder.

As much as a player can in a game his team lost by a 123-99 final score, Jaquez had a good night. He finished a blocked shot and a three-pointer shy of a complete stat line while shooting 50 percent from the field. That said, Jaquez is ranked outside the top-150 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. With the Heat now close to full strength, his production off the bench is something to watch, as Jaquez has been good enough to offer standard-league value thus far. Hopefully, that doesn’t change.

Saturday night was rough for Adebayo and the Heat, who never led against the Pacers. While effective as a rebounder, the Heat captain didn’t offer much value otherwise. This season hasn’t been what many fantasy managers hoped it would be for Bam, as he’s ranked outside the top-50 in per-game value. Adebayo and the Heat will look to redeem themselves on Sunday against the Thunder.

Collins has been out since late December with a sprained left big toe. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said on Saturday that the 6-foot-11 forward/center suffered a “pretty significant sprain” and will remain in a walking boot for the foreseeable future. Surgery isn’t currently on the table, but the team has been seeking additional opinions on Collins’ injury. Chicago will continue to rely on Jalen Smith to absorb most of the backup center minutes.
