Ball is dealing with a sprain in his shooting wrist, but it isn’t expected to keep him out of the lineup against Indiana. He played 34 minutes in Chicago’s last game and knocked down four three-pointers.

Despite dealing with lower-body injuries, Giddey (left ankle sprain) and White (right first toe soreness) are on track to play against the Pacers on Sunday. If either cannot play, more minutes will be available to Tre Jones, potentially as a starter, since the Bulls will be without Ayo Dosunmu. However, given the “probable” tags for Giddey and White, there’s no need to add Jones.

Huerter has played a larger role off the bench for Chicago recently, but there is a chance that he misses this game. Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) has already been ruled out, so Tre Jones and Dalen Terry will likely be among the reserves that play a large role for Chicago if Huerter is sidelined.

Vucevic will miss a fourth straight game due to his strained right calf. Zach Collins has been the replacement in the Bulls’ lineup, most recently logging 40 minutes and recording a double-double in Friday’s win over the Raptors. He needs to be rostered while Vucevic sits, while Jalen Smith offers limited fantasy value off the bench.

Dosunmu made his return from a three-game absence on Friday and was able to play 23 minutes off the bench. However, the same left shoulder will keep him on the sidelines for Indiana’s next game. Kevin Huerter (knee) and Tre Jones should see extra minutes off the bench with Dosunmu out.

One night removed from scoring 28 points in a loss to the Pelicans, Durant was less productive as a scorer in Friday’s rematch. However, he’s averaged nearly 26 points per game over the past three weeks, providing first-round value in 12-team leagues (eight- and nine-cat formats). Durant will look to get the Suns closer to the play-in places on Sunday when the Timberwolves visit the Valley of the Sun.

Booker’s run of four straight games with 28 points or more ended on Friday, and he may not have been too upset about that. Others, most notably Bol Bol and Nick Richards, stepped up, meaning the Suns needed less scoring from Booker and Kevin Durant. He still dished out nine assists, so all wasn’t lost for fantasy managers. Booker and the Suns end Week 17 with a home game against the Timberwolves on Sunday.

Since his stellar debut in Detroit, Richards’ move to Phoenix hasn’t panned out how he, the Suns or fantasy managers hoped it would. However, he’s scored in double figures in five of his last seven outings, recording four double-doubles. Richards is essentially a player who can provide value in the rebound and field-goal percentage categories, which gives him a limited fantasy ceiling.

The Suns re-inserted Bol into Friday’s game after the outcome was no longer in doubt, seemingly to see if they could get him the two points needed to establish a new career-high. Either the other four players on the court misunderstood the assignment, or they decided Bol had shot enough because he didn’t get another attempt. On a serious note, Bol was outstanding offensively on a night when the Suns were without Bradley Beal and Grayson Allen. Rostered on 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the 7-foot-2 forward has been a fourth-round player over the past three weeks.

Collins started again with Nikola Vucevic out for the third straight game. The 27-year-old center had a double-double with 15 points and 13 rebounds. Collins also dished out five assists. He’s certainly under streaming consideration whenever Vooch is out for the rest of the season.

Giddey had at least 19 points and a double-double for the fifth game in a row. In three of those outings he had at least 10 assists while he had at least 10 rebounds in the other two. Giddey’s varied skill set has been on display over the last three weeks as he’s been a top-10 player in fantasy.

With the clock winding down at the end of regulation and the Bulls down by four, White hit a 3-pointer and was fouled with under five seconds left. The 25-year-old point guard’s four-point play tied the game and the Bulls would eventually win in overtime. White suffered a cut on his finger earlier this week, but seemed to be over that Friday. He has provided eighth-round value over the last three weeks.

Due to a sore left foot, Allen played only 16 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Pelicans. He won’t play in the rematch, and Bradley Beal will also be out, meaning more minutes will be available for Royce O’Neale and Ryan Dunn. Collin Gillespie and TyTy Washington entered the rotation on Thursday but combined to play seven minutes.

Friday’s game will be the third straight game Vucevic has missed with a strained right calf. Zach Collins has replaced him in the starting lineup and should be streamed until Vooch is cleared to play. Jalen Smith will play rotation minutes off the bench, but his fantasy value is limited in that role.

Dosunmu and Smith have missed the Bulls’ last three games. While the former’s return will likely mean fewer minutes for Dalen Terry and Tre Jones, the latter may not be as impactful in fantasy basketball circles. Zach Collins should remain the starter as the Bulls continue without the injured Nikola Vucevic. That limits Smith’s fantasy potential, although he will get rotation minutes.

Friday’s game will be the fourth straight Morris has missed with lower back spasms. With Bradley Beal also out, Tyus Jones has returned to the starting lineup and played 39 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Pelicans. Look for him to take on a similar workload in Friday’s rematch.

Allen suffered a foot injury in his last outing and is unlikely to play in the second leg of a back-to-back. Royce O’Neale or Ryan Dunn could absorb some of Allen’s wing minutes.

Smith was on a roll before the All-Star break and has missed his last three games. It appears like he’s ready to return to the hardwood, though. Smith will have a chance to take on a large role on Friday with Nikola Vucevic listed as doubtful.

Jones reclaimed his starting gig with Bradley Beal on the sidelines, and he certainly made the most of his opportunity. The assists were a game high, and the three-pointers were his most since he knocked down five against the Clippers on January 27. The Suns have a quick turnaround with a rematch set for Friday night against New Orleans. If he’s back with the first unit, Jones will look to build on Thursday’s big performance.

Naughty Nicky pulled down a game-high rebound total and finished with his sixth double-double in 19 appearances with Phoenix. Fortunately for fantasy managers, Richards’ final stat line in the box score is all that counts. His on-court play was a bit less encouraging, as the Pels grabbed 50 boards and scored 58 points in the paint. Richards and the Suns are five games below .500, and they’ll need to find an answer for Zion Williamson in Friday’s rematch if they want to get back in the win column.

Jones has come off the bench in each of the Suns’ last three games, but he’ll replace the injured Bradley Beal in the starting five. Jones has averaged 10.9 points and 5.9 dimes across 54 starts this season.

Beal will sit out this game, which is the first of back-to-back set against New Orleans. Tyus Jones or Grayson Allen will likely replace him in the starting unit, though Allen will be better option in fantasy basketball.

Smith has missed Chicago’s last three games with a concussion, but he could be back on Friday. Nikola Vucevic (calf) is doubtful again, so if Smith plays, he will split the center minutes with Zach Collins.

Vucevic is expected to miss a third straight game, which likely will lead to another start for Zach Collins, who recorded a 21/17/6/2 line on Wednesday. Jalen Smith (concussion) is questionable after missing Chicago’s last three games, and he may cut into Collins’ minutes if he returns.

Beal has averaged 24.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game since returning from the All-Star break, but the Suns aren’t winning. Grayson Allen could get a bump in exposure if Beal sits on Thursday.

Once again starting for the injured Nikola Vucevic, Collins recorded a stellar stat line on Wednesday. The Bulls center recorded his first double-double of the season, establishing new highs in points (21) and rebounds (17). The 17 boards were a career-high for Collins, who has provided top-100 value in nine-cat formats over the past three weeks. As long as Vucevic and Jalen Smith (concussion) remain out, Collins will be worth streaming in deep leagues. And he’s rostered in just five percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Few players in fantasy basketball have been as hot as Giddey over the past three weeks. Averaging 19.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.6 blocks and 2.9 three-pointers per game, he has been a top 10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. Even if the front office doesn’t intend this to happen, the Bulls continue holding onto the East’s final play-in spot. Giddey’s improved play has much to do with that, and the timing is good since he’ll be a free agent this summer.

Morris will miss a third straight game with lower back spasms. With the recent change to the Suns’ starting lineup, as Tyus Jones has moved to the bench in favor of Bradley Beal, Morris will be a spot lower in the pecking order when healthy. He’s unlikely to impact fantasy basketball.

Collins and Huerter are available after initially being probable for Wednesday’s game. The former will continue to serve as the starting center with Nikola Vucevic (calf) out of the lineup. As for Huerter, he will figure prominently off the bench, and he’s worth having in deep leagues where there is a need for three-point production.

Initially questionable, Dosunmu still has soreness in his shoulder and will miss a third straight game. His absence has freed up additional minutes for Kevin Huerter and Tre Jones. While the latter can provide assists and a low turnover count, Huerter offers a higher ceiling in the points and three-point categories.

Vooch will miss a second straight game, which means Zach Collins (shin) should draw another start. Collins posted a solid 19/5/1/1/1 line across 28 minutes against the Sixers on Monday, and he’s worth streaming again tonight.

Booker has now scored at least 28 points in three straight games. The 28-year-old point guard also dished out 10 assists on his way to a double-double. It’s just his second game with at least 10 assists in February and the other was also an overtime game. He’s had at least eight assists in five straight games and six of his last seven games as he’s taken on a bigger playmaking role with Bradley Beal replacing Tyus Jones in the starting lineup.

Durant was excellent in a game the Suns probably should’ve won if not for a Ja Morant bucket at the end of regulation that sent the game into overtime. The 36-year-old small forward was just two rebounds and three assists shy of a triple-double. Durant has provided top-10 fantasy value over the past month.
