Dosunmu is available after missing Tuesday’s win over the 76ers with a quad injury. However, he will be limited to 24 minutes on Friday, which lowers Dosunmu’s fantasy ceiling. Dalen Terry may pick up a few minutes off the bench, but he is not worth rostering in fantasy leagues.

Dosunmu practiced on Thursday after Chicago’s last two games, which is a positive sign for his chances of playing against Milwaukee. If he does return, Dalen Terry and Jevon Carter will be pushed back out of the rotation after playing small roles over the past two games.

White has been sidelined since August with a strained calf but appears to be inching closer to a return. Donovan said the 25-year-old would do on-court work with player development staff after practice on Thursday, and then the team would evaluate where he is in his recovery timeline. Tre Jones has been starting in place of White but will be pushed to the bench when White returns.

The 25-year-old did not play on Tuesday against the 76ers while nursing a quad injury, but he does seem to be on track to return on Thursday. He’s averaged 16.2 points, 3.2 assists, and 3.0 rebounds per game off the Bulls’ bench, so his return would certainly be a welcome one. Dalen Terry and Jevon Carter have taken on extra minutes with Dosunmu out but will be pushed out of the rotation when Dosunmu returns.

While Towns had his moments during Wednesday’s rout and recorded his seventh double-double in eight games, it was clear that he was playing through an illness that landed him on the Wednesday morning injury report. The Knicks forward/center finished a blocked shot shy of a complete line but matched his season-low in shot attempts. With New York off until Sunday, Towns will have valuable time to recuperate from his illness.

Back in the Knicks’ starting lineup after missing Monday’s win over the Wizards, Robinson was dominant on the offensive glass. In just 16 minutes of action, he grabbed nine offensive rebounds and finished with his second double-figure rebounding effort in three games played. Robinson also blocked three shots and made 80 percent of his field-goal attempts, providing solid value to the few fantasy managers who have him rostered. It’s unknown when his minutes restriction will be lifted, but the Knicks’ clear priority is to ensure Robinson is healthy for the stretch run. That does him no favors in terms of fantasy value.

Brunson recorded his first double-double of the season on Wednesday, including a season-high 10 assists. Finishing three rebounds shy of his first career triple-double, the Knicks’ point guard has increased his scoring average. Averaging 26.0 per night last season, he’s up to 28.3 through eight games. While the ball has been in the hands of the Knicks’ wings more often than it was last season, Brunson is still a focal point of the team’s offensive actions. Playing off the ball more has given Brunson more room to operate, and he’s taken advantage.

Anunoby led six Knicks in double figures with 25 points, his fourth game with at least 20 points this season. A top-40 fantasy player last season, he’s providing top-20 value through the Knicks’ first eight games of 2025-26. Anunoby will look to end Week 3 on a high note when the Knicks host the Nets on Sunday in the fourth of seven straight games that New York will play at home.

Towns wasn’t on the initial injury report, but there is a chance he misses a game for the first time this season. Mitchell Robinson will be back after sitting out the second leg of the Knicks’ back-to-back in their last game, so if Towns is out, Landry Shamet could remain in the starting lineup for another game. If not, Josh Hart and Guerschon Yabusele are candidates to start and take on extra minutes.

Vučević was only 1-of-5 from beyond the arc on Tuesday, but the lone make was huge. His corner three with 3.4 seconds remaining capped a 24-point rally for the Bulls, who are now 6-1 on the season. Vooch has recorded five double-doubles in seven games, showing he may have more staying power than some fantasy managers believed before the season began. Vučević and backup Jalen Smith (14 points, four rebounds and three three-pointers) combined to outplay their 76ers counterparts, a significant factor in Chicago’s ability to rebound from a slow start.

Okoro has hit double figures in consecutive games for the first time this season. Tuesday’s point total was a season-high for the wing, whose defensive ability is why he was inserted into the starting lineup to begin the season. Okoro still isn’t at the point where he can be considered in most fantasy leagues, but his career is in a better place than it was with the Cavaliers.

Giddey was sensational in the Bulls’ comeback victory, recording his second triple-double of the season. His 12th assist of the night was the point guard’s most important, as he found Nikola Vučević in the right corner for a three-pointer with 3.4 seconds remaining that won the game. Giddey’s hot start is a critical reason why the Bulls are now 6-1, and he’s shown no signs of slowing down. With Coby White (calf) expected to miss a few more weeks, Giddey managers have an interesting dilemma: sell high, or continue to ride the wave?

Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said before Tuesday’s game against the 76ers that the team hopes to get White practicing next week. He’ll miss a “couple more weeks” as he continues to recover from a calf injury. White still hasn’t done any 5-on-5 work, but he has progressed to doing some sprinting and cutting. Tre Jones will remain in the starting lineup as long as White is out, and he’s worth streaming in that role.

Despite dealing with a right hand injury that may be more serious than initially reported, Hart has looked like his usual self in the Knicks’ last two games. After scoring 14 points on 50 percent shooting in Sunday’s win over the Bulls, he recorded his first double-double of the season against the Wizards. Hart didn’t record any defensive stats on Monday, but he did dish out five assists and shoot 2-of-4 from beyond the arc. While he may not approach the heights of last season in terms of fantasy value, Hart can still be a solid option on a category-league roster.

After totaling 47 points in two games against the Bulls, Anunoby was comparatively quiet offensively in Monday’s win over the Wizards. However, he did record a season-high five steals, two shy of his career-high and one shy of his high as a Knick. Anunoby has picked up right where he left off last season, providing third-round value in nine-cat formats. The Knicks wings have benefited from the changes made by new head coach Mike Brown, with Anunoby and Mikal Bridges (10/2/4/3/2 with two three-pointers) being excellent value picks in fantasy basketball.

Given the amount of time spent in Utah, Clarkson’s need for a bit of time to adjust to playing on a team with championship aspirations is understandable. After scoring 10 points or fewer in each of his first five games as a Knick, he’s scored 15 points in consecutive appearances. In the Knicks’ wins over Chicago and Washington, Clarkson shot 11-of-19 from the field overall and 5-of-11 from beyond the arc. Clarkson and the Knicks will face tougher competition with the Timberwolves visiting on Wednesday, but the last two games were a nice confidence boost for the guard.

While Wizards second-year center Alex Sarr has shown signs of improvement thus far, he still isn’t a match for stronger post players. With that in mind, Towns made a concerted effort to attack the paint early and often, and the result was his most productive offensive showing of the season. KAT recorded his first 30-point game, shooting 50 percent from the field, and his seventh straight double-double. From a fantasy standpoint, the lone issue for Towns has been his shot, with the 7-footer shooting 40.8 percent from the field. More nights like Monday will get him into the first-round territory many expected him to reside in before the season began.

Hart was initially questionable for Monday’s game, but he’ll be available to play without any restrictions. Look for him to hit the mid- to high-20s in minutes.

White is due to be re-evaluated early this week after his return timeline was pushed back a few weeks just before the start of the regular season. Tre Jones will remain in the starting lineup for as long as White is unavailable, and Josh Giddey’s role has expanded to begin the regular season. While the latter is already rostered in most leagues, the former is worth considering in some standard leagues.

Hart is dealing with a left ankle sprain, though it’s unclear if this is a serious injury or maintenance on the second night of a back-to-back set.

If Hart is unavailable, more playing time could be available for Guerschon Yabusele and Ariel Hukporti.

Buzelis has hit double figures in five of Chicago’s six games, averaging 15.7 points on 49.8 percent shooting from the field. The second-year forward is ranked just outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats, as he’s provided limited production in assists, steals and blocked shots. Improving those categories will be critical for Buzelis as the season progresses, especially once Coby White is cleared to return from injury. The Bulls open their three-game Week 3 on Tuesday against the 76ers.

Vučević recorded his third double-double in four games and fourth of the season on Sunday while shooting 60 percent from the field. As was the case last season, he continues to surprise fantasy managers who may consider the veteran center’s ceiling to be just inside the top-50. Vučević is providing top-20 value in eight- and nine-cat formats and has shown no signs of slowing down. While Coby White’s eventual return will put another capable scorer in the rotation, Vooch’s fantasy value should be fine.

Giddey is up to 19 triple-doubles in his career, and he seems to like Madison Square Garden. “The World’s Most Famous Arena” has been the site of four of Giddey’s 19 triple-doubles. More critical to fantasy managers is that he’s taken advantage of Coby White being out due to injury, providing third-round value in eight-cat formats. Unfortunately for Giddey managers, the Bulls only play three games during Week 3, starting with the 76ers on Tuesday.

Towns has hit double digits in rebounds in all six games, helping the Knicks compensate for Mitchell Robinson’s limited availability. KAT has gotten off to a slow start offensively, shooting 38 percent from the field, but he remains a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. The all-around production gives Towns a high fantasy floor, minimizing the impact of his poor shooting. A few games like Sunday’s will go a long way toward pushing KAT up the fantasy rankings.

In the Knicks’ home-and-home with the Bulls, Brunson totaled 60 points on 22-of-47 shooting from the field. He’s scored 30 points or more in four of his first six games, a clear sign that his offense won’t suffer in a system that has taken the ball out of Brunson’s hand more than in years past. Heading into Week 3, Brunson is providing top-25 value in nine-cat formats. The Knicks play three games, starting with the Wizards on Monday.

Hart had his most productive game of the season on Sunday, reaching double figures in points for the first time. While he only made one of his five three-point attempts, the 50 percent night from the field was an encouraging development. Before Sunday’s game, Hart revealed that in addition to the right ring finger injury he’s navigating, there is some nerve damage in the hand that occasionally leaves him without feeling in his pinky and middle fingers. Hart is playing through it, but the field-goal percentage may suffer. The Knicks play three games during Week 3, starting with the Wizards on Monday.

Robinson did not attempt a shot on Sunday, but the most notable occurrence was his sprained right ankle during the first minute of the third quarter. The Knicks center came down on another player’s foot and rolled his right ankle. The good news is that it was the left ankle that was operated on, and Robinson returned to action later in the quarter. However, with the Knicks hosting the Wizards on Monday, there’s a very real possibility that he will not play. If Robinson sits, Miles McBride (8/4/3/1 with two three-pointers) is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup.

While the season is still extremely young, Bridges continues to show signs of being a fantasy steal. He’s scored 20 points or more in three straight games and has provided excellent production across all categories. Bridges is providing first-round value in nine-cat formats, outperforming his Yahoo!

Robinson saw his first action of the season on Friday. While Knicks head coach Mike Brown said before the game that the 7-footer would not be restricted, he only played 20 minutes. The good news for fantasy managers needing rebounding production is that Robinson doesn’t need much time to make a dent in that category, as evidenced by his 11 boards against the Bulls. He won’t provide much in most of the other fantasy categories, making Robinson more of a specialist than someone you can rely on for solid overall production.

After scoring 24 points in the Knicks’ season-opening win over the Cavaliers, Anunoby fell into a three-game slump, averaging 11.0 points on 29.4 percent shooting. One of the few positives from Friday’s disappointing loss was OG breaking that slump, shooting 75 percent from the field and 5-of-7 from beyond the arc. However, the poor shooting in the three games prior did minimal damage to Anunoby’s fantasy value, as he’s still ranked within the top-40 in nine-cat formats.

Brunson’s streak of 30-point games ended at three, as he fell one point shy of the threshold on Friday. While the free-throw percentage was disappointing, many fantasy managers will take the overall stat line from the Knicks captain.

He’ll look to help the Knicks end their three-game skid when they host the Bulls on Sunday.

Josh Giddey wasn’t the only Bull the Knicks struggled to corral on Friday, as Chicago scored a season-high 132 points and shot 53.6 percent from the field. Vučević was one of three Bulls to score at least 22 points in the nine-point victory, which Chicago led by 22 at the half. The 26 points are the most he’s scored in a game since the season opener, when Vooch dropped 28 on Detroit. As surprising as Vučević was in fantasy basketball last season, he’ll go into Chicago’s final game of Week 2 (Sunday at New York) providing top-20 value in nine-cat formats.

While it may be challenging to justify rostering Dosunmu in 10-team leagues once Coby White returns from injury, he’s definitely worth having in 14-team and even some 12-team leagues. Ayo had a stellar performance on Friday, surpassing the 20-point mark for the second time in three games and dishing out a season-high nine assists. However, it’s important to note that Dosunmu entered Friday with seven total assists, so that part of the stat line was likely an outlier. He’s rostered in 21 percent of Yahoo! leagues and would be worth a roll of the dice in deep leagues ahead of Sunday’s rematch with the Knicks in New York.

With Philadelphia losing to the Celtics on Friday, the Bulls are the lone remaining undefeated team in the Eastern Conference. Giddey had a lot to do with Chicago’s move to 5-0. After four solid performances, he was spectacular against the Knicks, who could not find an answer for the guard defensively. Giddey shot 4-of-8 from three and 57.1 percent from the field overall, and he finished one assist shy of a triple-double without committing a turnover. He’s providing top-75 value in nine-cat formats, below his Yahoo! ADP of 28. More nights like Friday will help close that gap.
