Jones, who has scored 18 points or more in three of his last four games, only missed one shot from the field in Friday’s defeat. While the Bulls’ guard did not offer the assist production that fantasy managers have come to expect, the scoring output is a good way to end Week 20. Chicago’s three-game Week 21 includes a back-to-back, so there could be a night when Jones is in the lineup while Josh Giddey sits for injury management.

While the Bulls went 1-3 on their west coast road trip, a positive for the franchise was Buzelis’ play. The second-year forward fell two points shy of his fourth straight game with at least 20, but he did record his third double-double of the season. Since the All-Star break, Buzelis has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats. The Bulls are done for Week 20, and they play three games in Week 21.

Giddey’s triple-double on Friday was the 29th of his NBA career, moving him into the top-20 on the all-time list. After recording six turnovers in Thursday’s loss to the Lakers, the Bulls’ guard was responsible for just two on Friday. Since the All-Star break, Giddey has been close to a first-round player in eight-cat formats. The concern for fantasy managers at this point is back-to-backs, with the Bulls having another during Week 21. A three-game week could become two for Giddey, which would be unfortunate.

Guerschon Yabusele is available after sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Lakers, but he won’t be in the starting lineup. Richards receives the nod, which gives him a higher fantasy ceiling. The other four starters are unchanged, but Giddey’s playing time could decrease after logging 40 minutes on Thursday.

After having his fantasy value take a significant hit in February, Barrett has gotten off to a good start in March. In six games, he’s averaged 23.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.0 three-pointers while shooting 59.1 percent from the field. That’s been a positive development for fantasy managers, especially those competing in category leagues. The Raptors host the Pistons on Sunday in their final game of Week 20.

In a game with three 30-point scorers, Ingram stole the show in the Raptors’ win over the Suns. Shooting 65 percent from the field, the slender forward scored 36 points, the most in a game for him since he dropped 37 in a November 24 win over the Cavaliers. While Ingram’s fantasy value has slipped slightly since the All-Star break, fantasy managers have nothing to worry about. The Raptors host the Pistons on Sunday in their final game of Week 20.

Smith and Okoro were initially listed as doubtful, so the status downgrades were expected. The former’s absence coincides with Guerschon Yabusele’s return, so he can fill the resulting void in the starting lineup. Okoro’s absence means that Tre Jones should get another start.

Yabusele and Williams were initially listed as questionable for Friday’s game after sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Lakers. Williams has missed six of the Bulls’ last seven games, so his playing time may be limited on Friday. As for Yabusele, a return to the starting lineup may be in the cards, as Jalen Smith (calf) is out.

Sexton has missed the Bulls’ last two games with a leg injury and is likely to miss a third. Rob Dillingham’s playing time has increased, but he’s struggled to take advantage of the opportunity on most nights due partly to a lingering wrist injury. However, Dillingham was productive in Thursday’s loss to the Lakers.

Miller logged 31 minutes on Thursday, which was enough to score in double figures for a second straight game and finish one rebound shy of back-to-back double-doubles. The third-year forward has seen his opportunities increase in his short tenure in Chicago following a midseason trade from Minnesota. So far, he’s showing potential to be a double-double threat if the minutes are high enough.

On the heels of a career-best 41-point outing against the Warriors, Buzelis finished Thursday’s contest as one of seven Bulls players to score in double figures; his four three-pointers led him to the second-highest scoring total on the team. Meanwhile, his four stocks on the defensive end were the most of any Chicago player on Thursday. Buzelis has been trending in the right direction for quite a while now and should remain one of the Bulls’ most relied upon players down the stretch of the season.

The Bulls had a fine night on the offensive end, as they were carried by their do-it-all point guard. Giddey shot the ball with extreme confidence from beyond the arc and was masterful as a playmaker en route to his 23rd double-double of the season. He did commit six turnovers, but was otherwise very productive from a fantasy standpoint. He’s now tallied three straight double-doubles with a chance for a fourth consecutive on Friday against the Clippers.

The Bulls won’t have Guerschon Yabusele for Thursday’s game, as he’s out with a sore left foot. As a result, they’re going smaller, with Jones returning to the starting lineup. This change also shifts Smith down a position, as he’ll serve as the starting center.

Both players were downgraded to doubtful, which is never a good sign this close to tip-off. With Jalen Smith (calf) also downgraded to questionable, the Bulls could be really shorthanded in the front court. That would leave lots of minutes for Nick Richards and then the Bulls’ full complement of guards.

Smith had been listed as probable, so a downgrade this close to game time is never a great sign. The Bulls have another game on Friday, so it seems likely that Smith will sit this one out, which will give Nick Richards a much larger role.

Barnes had a rough night at the office scoring-wise, as he shot 1-of-6 from three-point range. Category league managers can take solace in the rebounds, assists and steals. But this was a disappointing effort for someone who has ranked among the most valuable players in fantasy basketball this season, regardless of format. The Raptors return home for games on Friday and Sunday to complete Week 20.

Having totaled 22 points on 7-of-23 shooting in his prior two appearances, Quickley had an excellent night in New Orleans.

Playing in New Orleans for the first time since being traded to the Raptors, Ingram received a deserved ovation at the conclusion of his tribute video on Wednesday. While productive, he was unable to do enough to keep the Raptors from losing both games of their quick road trip. After scoring 14, 11 and nine points in his last three appearances, Ingram got back on track in New Orleans. That’s good news for fantasy managers, as the Pelicans return home for their final two games of Week 20.

Yabusele is dealing with a sore left foot. While the production has tailed off recently, he has done enough to remain in the Bulls’ starting lineup. Isaac Okoro (knee) may be able to return; if so, he could fill the void if Yabusele can’t play, which pushes Jalen Smith to the five.

Despite being moved to the bench for Tuesday’s game, Jones remained productive. The 22 points were the most he’s scored in a game since January 13, when he dropped 34 in a loss to the Rockets.

Even if he continues to come off the bench, Jones has been effective enough to merit rostering in 14-team leagues.

Barrett has provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Raptors have three more games this week, starting with a matchup against the Pelicans on Wednesday.
