Ball will miss Sunday’s regular season finale and has not appeared in a game since February. The question is whether or not he’ll be available for Chicago’s play-in tournament matchup with Miami. Kevin Huerter will remain the starter, and the change has raised Red Velvet’s fantasy ceiling. However, since the Bulls are locked into the nine-seed, he may not play starters’ minutes on Sunday.

Terry should be good to go after missing Friday’s game against Washington. Normally, Terry isn’t much of a factor in fantasy, but with Chicago locked in as the ninth seed in the East, they may turn to Terry for extra minutes to give the typical starters a break.

Giddey will miss a second-straight game, and with Chicago locked in as the ninth seed in the East, Sunday’s game is inconsequential. Julian Phillips started in place of Giddey on Friday and should once again play a significant role.

Ball hasn’t played since February, so his absence for the regular season finale doesn’t come as a surprise. It’s unclear if he’ll be able to return for the Play-In Tournament, so we may not see Ball play against until the 2025-26 season.

Banton started and played 31 minutes Friday against the Warriors with Anfernee Simons and Scoot Henderson ruled out. The 25-year-old point guard is capable of big games when given the opportunity, but this certainly wasn’t one of those. Banton couldn’t get his shot to fall as he finished with three points on 1-of-12 shooting from the field. Portland finishes up the season Sunday with a matchup against the Lakers. While Banton could be in line for a similar workload, he’s made it difficult to trust him on the final day of the season.

Clingan scored in double figures for the third-straight game. He was more aggressive with 13 shot attempts, the most he’s had in six games so far in April. The 21-year-old center also grabbed 15 rebounds, the third time he’s had at least 13 rebounds in his last six games. Clinghan has closed out the season providing top-100 value over the last month. He’s shown what he can do when given the opportunity and the Trail Blazers are likely to let him hang onto a starting spot going into next season.

Buzelis may not be in the conversation for Rookie of the Year, but his recent performance should have Chicago fans encouraged. This was his sixth-straight game making at least 50 percent of his shots, and he has now scored in double figures in 10 of his last 11 outings. The Bulls clinched the ninth seed in the East, which means Sunday’s season finale against the 76ers won’t matter. However, it may be a good opportunity for Buzelis to play a premier role. Unless Billy Donovan opts to rest him, the rookie should be a focal point of the offense to close out his first regular season.

Phillips used a big third-quarter performance to help Chicago close the door on this game and set a new career-high for scoring. He scored 15 of his 23 points in the third quarter alone to help lead the Bulls to a 30-point victory. The 2023 second-round pick didn’t play a significant role as a rookie, but he has played a larger role in year two. He started in place of Josh Giddey, and with Chicago locked in as the ninth seed in the East, Phillips will likely start against the 76ers in the season finale on Sunday with the veterans resting in preparation for the Play-In Tournament.

For the second-straight game, Vucevic fell exactly two assists shy of recording a triple-double. Chicago has now won their last five games with Vucevic available, and he has recorded a double-double in each of them. His recent production is more in line with the numbers he was putting up early in the season, which is a good sign for the Bulls as they enter the postseason. They are locked in as the ninth seed in the East and will host Miami in the first game of the Play-In Tournament. Vucevic will likely sit against the 76ers on Sunday in the season finale.

Avdija is set to miss his third-straight game with a thumb injury. Matisse Thybulle will move into the starting lineup once again and is worth using in deeper formats. Sharpe will miss the game with a knee injury and Dalano Banton is expected to play a lot.

Coming off recording a triple-double against Miami on Wednesday, Giddey will miss Friday’s matchup with Washington.

Ball last appeared in a game on February 28. Unlike the last two games, when the Bulls initially listed him as questionable, Lonzo is “out” on the injury report for Tuesday. With Coby White ruled out and Josh Giddey questionable, the Bulls could be severely shorthanded regarding on-ball playmakers. Talen Horton-Tucker is the player to watch, as he could figure prominently in the rotation if Giddey does not play.

With Coby White and Kevin Huerter already out, Chicago could be without four starters for Tuesday’s game. Vucevic’s potential absence would impact Zach Collins and Jalen Smith, as both would see their minutes increase. Giddey’s not playing would likely lead to more playing time for Talen Horton-Tucker, who would be worth streaming in deep leagues.

While White’s absence is due to rest, Huerter will not play on Tuesday because of a cervical strain. The absences open up two spaces within the Bulls’ starting lineup, with Patrick Williams, Dalen Terry and Talen Horton-Tucker among the potential replacements. However, in Williams’ case, he has yet to start alongside Matas Buzelis, so that’s unlikely.

Camara returned from a one-game absence on Sunday, and the second-year forward looked sharp. Three-point percentage is not a scoring category in most fantasy leagues, so Toumani going 4-of-11 from deep is not a big deal, especially when he made 50 percent of his shots overall. Camara has been a top-75 player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past month, closing in on top-50 value in the latter.

Banton has started Portland’s last four games, filling the void at point guard with Anfernee Simons (arm) and Scoot Henderson (concussion) unavailable. Shooting a shade below 50 percent from the field and committing one turnover, efficiency was not an issue for Banton against the Spurs. The 38.9 percent mark from the field is why he’s ranked outside the top 150 in nine-cat formats over the past week. That said, Banton will be worth the risk in active leagues if Simons and Henderson continue to miss time.

Sharpe managers in category leagues who were on the verge of losing field-goal percentage going into Sunday were done no favors, as he shot 5-of-17 from the field. However, the overall line was solid, with the Blazers’ wing recording his second double-double in four games and third of the season. Over the past two weeks, Sharpe has been a top-75 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. For those whose leagues will be active during Week 23, Portland plays three games, starting with Utah on Wednesday.

Camara is back after sitting out Friday’s game against the Bulls. He was replaced in the starting lineup by Matisse Thybulle, who may remain in that role since the Blazers will not have Deni Avdija. If so, that would preserve what little streaming value Thybulle possesses in fantasy leagues.

Cissoko is available to play on Sunday, giving the Blazers another option on the wing. With Deni Avdija and Jerami Grant among the absentees, rotation minutes may be available for Cissoko, but he should not be streamed in fantasy leagues.

Grant’s continued absence is unsurprising; managers whose leagues run through Week 23 would be wise to drop him onto the waiver wire. Sidy Cissoko is available and may play rotation minutes, especially with Deni Avdija also out. However, there’s no need to consider streaming him. As for Reath, he has not played the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball, so his absence will not make a significant difference.

Avdija will not play on Sunday, leaving the Trail Blazers without a player who has recently been the team’s best offensive option. Anfernee Simons is a game-time decision, and his return would undoubtedly help Portland account for Avdija’s absence. Kris Murray’s playing time will likely increase, but he has not done enough to merit being streamed.

From a fantasy standpoint, few backcourts have been as hot as Chicago’s tandem of Giddey and Coby White since the All-Star break. Finishing Sunday’s win two assists shy of a triple-double, Giddey has been a top-10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats since Chicago’s first post-break game on February 20. For those whose fantasy leagues run through Week 23, the Bulls play four games, starting with the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

White has been on an absolute tear since the All-Star break, averaging 26.1 points per game while shooting 50.2 percent from the field and 90.4 percent from the foul line. With his production across the board, White has offered top-25 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Bulls are locked into the play-in tournament, but the season’s final four games will be about improving their seeding. For White managers whose leagues will be active during Week 23, that should ensure them of a full slate for the Bulls’ guard.

Grant has not appeared in a game since March 9, which is unlikely to change on Sunday. Deni Avdija has been firmly entrenched in the starting lineup ever since and has done enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Dalano Banton has played consistent rotation minutes, recently starting since the Blazers were also without Anfernee Simons.

This is the second-straight game that Ball will initially be listed as questionable.

Scoring-wise, few players have been as hot as White over the past month. He’s averaged 28.2 points per game on 51.1 percent shooting. While his defensive value is limited, Coby’s offensive ability has made him an excellent fantasy asset, especially in points leagues. And with the Bulls visiting the Hornets on Sunday, it would be unsurprising if he capped Week 22 with another 30-point outing.

Buzelis finished Friday’s victory with his first double-double, and the 12 rebounds were a season-high. The rookie forward has recently been an excellent fantasy asset, providing top-50 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Buzelis’s season-long fantasy value hasn’t been great, but he has been a 10th-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats since the beginning of March. The Bulls end Week 22 with a game in Charlotte on Sunday.

Before Friday, Vucevic had gone nearly two months since he last scored at least 30 points in a game. He ended that “dry spell” in a big way against the Trail Blazers, making some history in the process. The double-double was Vucevic’s 200th as a Bull, moving into a tie with Scottie Pippen for second on the franchise’s all-time list. Over the past two weeks, Vooch has provided top-20 value in nine-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long production. He’ll look to finish Week 22 on a high note when the Bulls visit Charlotte on Sunday.

In recording his sixth triple-double of the season, Giddey established a new career-high with 19 rebounds. The move to Chicago has been excellent for his NBA career, and fantasy managers have reaped the rewards. Giddey has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats, exceeding many expectations, even though his Yahoo! ADP (69) suggested that fantasy managers expected him to be better in 2024-25. And Josh could be in for a big finish to Week 22, as the Bulls visit the Hornets on Sunday.

Clingan has grabbed at least 18 rebounds in three games this season, with Friday’s effort being his first since February 12. The rookie center did not have a good night shooting the basketball, but he provided solid value as a rebounder and defender. Clingan has been a top-100 player in nine-cat formats over the past three weeks, and he won’t lack playing time with Deandre Ayton and Robert Williams III done for the season. Portland hosts San Antonio in its final game of Week 22 on Sunday.

While Sharpe could not extend his streak of 30-point games to three, he has scored at least 17 in nine straight. The issue on Friday was his inefficiency, as he shot 7-of-23 from the field. By comparison, Sharpe shot 49.3 percent from the field in the first eight games of this run. Over the past three weeks, he has provided sixth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, taking advantage of the Trail Blazers being shorthanded on the wings.

Banton has started Portland’s last three games, filling in for the injured Anfernee Simons. He hasn’t shot the ball well, making just 37.5 percent of his attempts, but Banton has averaged 18.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers per game. A 12th-round player in eight-cat formats during this three-game stretch, Banton will be worth streaming on Sunday if Simons and Scoot Henderson remain out. But that’s only if managers can afford to take a hit in the field-goal percentage category.

The Trail Blazers will miss out on the postseason for a fourth consecutive season, but the team has to be pleased with what they’ve seen from Avdija, especially over the past month. He’s scored 30 points or more six times since the beginning of March, providing top-10 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Avdija has been a league-winner down the stretch, and the good news for managers who have him rostered is that Portland is not finished with Week 22. They return home to host the Spurs on Sunday.

Sharpe is ending the season on a high note. He’ll be 22 in May, and he clearly still has loads of untapped potential. This was his sixth time scoring at least 20 points in his last seven appearances, and it ended up being his second-straight game with at least 30 points.

Two days after recording the second triple-double of his career, Avdija turned in another monster stat line.

Avdija’s incredible finish to the season should make him an enticing option heading into fantasy drafts next season. Over the past two weeks, he has provided first-round value in nine-cat leagues.

24 hours after being held to 11 points, Vucevic got back on track with a 20-point double-double. Entering Tuesday’s game, Vucevic had gone four straight games without a double-double and had scored less than 15 points in four of his previous five games. Early in the season, this would have been a typical game for Vucevic. However, he has really struggled over the past two months, so this was an encouraging performance for him with the postseason approaching. He’ll look to keep it going against Portland on Friday.
