After an 11-game absence, Giddey is back for the Bulls. He’ll be restricted to 24 minutes in his first game back, which preserves some of Tre Jones’ streaming value. For those who have been rostering Jones, he’s worth holding onto until Giddey is allowed to play starters’ minutes.

Giddey has missed the last 11 games with a hamstring strain, with the Bulls going 6-5 in his absence. The 23-year-old has been tremendous this season, averaging almost a triple-double. His return would likely push Tre Jones back to the bench and cut into Ayo Dosunmu’s usage.

After totaling 95 points over three games, Sensabaugh has missed Utah’s last two due to illness. Kyle Filipowski’s playing time increased in Tuesday’s win over the Timberwolves, and that may happen again if Sensabaugh can’t play against the Spurs. Both players are worth rostering, as the “silly season” appears to be underway in Utah.

George, who went off for 43 points in Tuesday’s win over the Timberwolves, is dealing with a strained left forearm. If he’s unable to play, the Jazz will rely more on Isaiah Collier and Walter Clayton Jr. Of the two, Collier’s assist production makes him a slightly better streaming option.

Thursday’s game will be Markkanen’s sixth missed game due to illness. With Ace Bailey returning to action on the same night as Markkanen’s first missed game, Cody Williams has been able to stay in the starting lineup. That said, there’s little need to consider rostering Williams in most redraft leagues.

Nurkić had had a double-double in five of his last eight games entering play Tuesday. Against the Timberwolves, the 31-year-old center had a triple-double with 16 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists. Nurkić has been great for fantasy when he’s played, but missed three games due to Coach’s Decision. With the Jazz shorthanded, he should remain in the starting lineup for the time being.

Bailey had his first game with at least 20 points since November 24 against the Warrior, when he had 21 points. The 19-year-old small forward isn’t a fantasy star just yet. He wasn’t particularly efficient with 20 points on 17 attempts, but the volume was his best in months. Bailey could remain in the starting lineup with the Jazz still shorthanded.

George had 29 and 30 points in his last two games entering play Tuesday before dropping a career-high 43 points on the Timberwolves. The 22-year-old point guard continues to be a revelation in fantasy basketball leagues. One of the leagues most improved players, George has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Jazz have two more games remaining this week, against the Spurs and the Heat.

White’s scoring has been hit or miss recently as he has multiple games this month without even reaching double figures. On Tuesday, the 25-year-old point guard was mostly hitting with 24 points on 15 field goal attempts. White got very hot from behind the three-point line with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, sinking four threes in a row in 1:07 of game-time. He’s provided ninth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Bulls have two more games this week, against the Timberwolves and Celtics.

Vučević sealed the victory for the Bulls with an incredible sequence of plays with about 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. The 35-year-old center ran the length of the floor and had a dunk in transition, had a block on the next defensive possession and then hit a three-pointer to put Chicago up 110-89. Vučević has provided first-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Bulls have two more games this week, including matchups with the Timberwolves and Celtics.

He added to his total in both categories against the Clippers with two blocks and four three-pointers. Buzelis has provided sixth-round per game over the last two weeks. The Bulls will be back on the floor Thursday for a matchup with the Timberwolves.

With two of Utah’s top scoring options out against Minnesota, Cody Williams and Ace Bailey could remain with the starting five. Kyle Filipowski, Isaiah Collier and Walter Clayton Jr. all saw upticks in playing time on Monday against the Spurs with Markkanen and Sensabaugh sidelined for that one, too. The Jazz have a plethora of options across the roster, so there’s no clear fantasy add here. Bailey represents the highest upside, while Collier has been a steady contributor in the assists category. Clayton Jr. is an intriguing add in deeper fantasy leagues.

Filipowski had been starting the last three games for Utah, but with Jusuf Nurkić back in the rotation, he started and pushed Filipowski to the bench. Still, he was still productive in 26 minutes. Over his last four games, Filipowski has averaged 13.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.8 steals per game. He remains a worthy stash option, but he should still provide some value right now.

After three games as a DNP- Coach’s Decision, Nurkić returned to the starting lineup for Utah. When he’s played as of late, Nurkić has been quite productive, and that continued in this game, despite a lack of defensive production, which has been vital to Nurkić’s value this season. Unfortunately, the inconsistency of his place in the rotation lately has made things difficult for fantasy managers. If he plays against the Timberwolves on Tuesday, he should make a big impact, but there’s no guarantee that happens.

Though it was an inefficient shooting night for George, he was able to get to the free throw line enough to reach the 30-point mark in the loss. This came after he had 29 points on Saturday, though neither game resulted in a win for Utah. They’ll head home after a five-game road trip for a matchup with the Timberwolves on Tuesday. George has been the focal point of the offense with Lauri Markkanen sidelined for their last four games and will look to bounce back against Minnesota.

Mykhailiuk and Nurkić will return to the starting lineup, pushing Isaiah Collier and Kyle Filipowski back to the bench. Both should still play decent roles as reserves, but the streaming upside of both will be reduced. Mykhailiuk isn’t a reliable fantasy option, but Nurkić has had success as a starter this season.

White fueled Chicago’s offense early on with 16 first-half points as they shot 60 percent (12-of-20) from three-point range and 60 percent overall (28-of-47) to take a 70-51 halftime lead. The 25-year-old slashing guard has struggled to return to form after dealing with a calf injury earlier this month, but he looked sharp in this one, knocking down 7-of-11 attempts from beyond the arc. He’ll continue to play a significant role with plenty of creation possessions while Josh Giddey (hamstring) remains sidelined. The Bulls have a three-game week on tap featuring matchups against the Clippers, Timberwolves and Celtics.

Vučević got off to a strong start with 11 points and seven boards in the opening half and was able to cruise to his 17th double-double through 41 games.

A double-figure scorer in three straight games, Bailey’s performance on Saturday was his best since returning from a hip injury. Of course, category league managers would like to see some defensive production from the rookie, but shooting 50 percent from the field and grabbing eight rebounds was a step in the right direction. The Jazz open a four-game Week 14 on Monday against the Spurs.

Given how ball-dominant Utah’s young guards are, Filipowski will need to do more in other areas to offer consistent fantasy value. That was the case on Saturday, as he recorded his third double-double of the season and dished out five assists. Filipowski should be a silly season standout in Utah, and the time is now to add him, given how the Jazz have handled Lauri Markkanen and Jusuf Nurkić recently.

After an underwhelming first half, George put on an offensive clinic during the third quarter. Shooting a perfect 7-of-7 from the field, the Jazz guard scored 21 points in the third quarter. Isaiah Collier (9/1/4/1 with one three-pointer) and Walter Clayton Jr. (5/3/8) will also play their fair share of the minutes on the perimeter, but George’s playing time should not be an issue later this season.

Well, Sensabaugh hasn’t cooled off yet. After totaling 70 points in games on Wednesday and Thursday, the Jazz forward dropped in 25 more against the Mavericks. Just as encouraging as the output has been the efficiency, as Sensabaugh has shot 50 percent or better in all three games. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Sensabaugh should be a silly season standout for the Jazz. He’s worth adding now, especially with the Jazz playing four games in Week 14.

For the fourth time this season, Collier reached double digits in assists during Thursday’s defeat. The double-double was his fourth, but the few fantasy managers who roster Collier aren’t usually looking for points. He and Walter Clayton Jr. (15/2/8/1 with one three-pointer) played at least 29 minutes in Dallas, and that’s possible due to head coach Will Hardy’s willingness to play multiple point guards at the same time. If that continues, that’s good news for Collier, Clayton and Keyonte George.
