Olbrich hasn’t had much of a place in Chicago’s rotation, but with Jalen Smith (hamstring) out on Saturday, he was able to log 11 minutes. He’ll likely fill out the backup center minutes again on Monday with Smith still out, but that will only lead to minutes in the teens.

Smith will miss a second straight game, and with Zach Collins doubtful, Chicago will turn to smaller lineups when Nikola Vučević is off the floor. On Saturday, that meant relying on Matas Buzelis and Lachlan Olbrich to fill center minutes.

White sat out the second leg of Chicago’s back-to-back on Saturday, but Bulls coach Billy Donovan said that would be the final back-to-back that they will officially rule him out for. He’ll be back to his typical role on Monday, which will push Ayo Dosunmu to the bench.

Jones was one of five Bulls to score in double figures in this game, and he matched Josh Giddey as the team’s leading scorer. He didn’t get the starting nod with Coby White (calf) sidelined for the second leg of this back-to-back, with Ayo Dosunmu (15/4/4) getting the bump. However, Jones was still able to make an impact. However, Bulls coach Billy Donovan said before the game that this was the final back-to-back that they’re planning for White to be held out of, so the opportunities for Jones and Dosunmu to play more minutes may be limited.

Giddey was once again able to pour in the points, rebounds and assists, which is great for fantasy managers. He’s averaging career highs in all three, as well as in three-pointers. This was Chicago’s third straight loss, all coming against teams currently outside the postseason picture. Giddey will look to help them get back on track in Orlando on Monday to kick off a four-game week.

Already without Isaac Okoro, the Bulls won’t have Coby White for Saturday’s game, either. As a result, Dosunmu returns to the starting lineup, which raises his fantasy ceiling. Also, Giddey will be the sole point guard in the starting lineup, as Tre Jones will come off the bench.

Dosunmu is good to go after initially being probable for Saturday’s game.

Initially questionable for Saturday’s game, White will not play due to right calf injury management. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said that this is the last back-to-back that White will be officially ruled out for. While that doesn’t guarantee the guard will be available for both games of future back-to-backs, it is a step in the right direction. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, with Tre Jones being the most likely replacement. When allowed to start, Jones is worth streaming in deep leagues.

Smith is dealing with a left hamstring strain. The 25-year-old power forward had six points in 17 minutes against the Hornets on Friday, but is out for Saturday’s matchup with the Pacers. Smith is only worth a look from fantasy managers when Nikola Vučević is out.

Dosunmu figures to start again in place of Isaac Okoro. The 25-year-old point guard had just five points in 23 minutes against the Hornets on Friday, but managed 28 points against the Pelicans earlier this week. Dosunmu is worth rostering in standard leagues while Okoro is out.

Vučević missed Monday’s game against the Pelicans with a knee injury, his first missed game of the season. The 35-year-old center was available Friday and is likely to suit up again Saturday against the Pacers. Vučević remains a steady fantasy producer late into his career.

White is still dealing with a right calf strain and is listed as questionable on the injury report for injury management reasons. The 25-year-old point guard had 25 points against the Hornets on Friday, but his status is up in the air for the second game of a back-to-back against the Pacers. Tre Jones should start if White is out and is worth streaming in deeper formats.

Though White’s start to the season was delayed, he has been a fantastic scoring option in the games he has been available for. He has suited up five times and scored at least 20 points in all five outings. Unfortunately, he hasn’t produced in other categories, and it wasn’t enough to get a win against Charlotte, White also has been sidelined for leg of Chicago’s last two back-to-backs, so be sure to check back to find out his status for Saturday’s game against the Pacers.

Giddey has been able to fill up the box score often this season, and this wasn’t the first time this season that he came this close to recording a triple-double double. However, it was only the second time this year that he didn’t commit a turnover. Giddey’s second-half breakout last year has translated through the first month of this season, and he’ll look to have another big night against the Pacers on Saturday.

After a one-game absence with a knee injury, Vučević was back for this game. His return gave Chicago a stronger presence in the post, but it wasn’t enough for them to get a win. Vučević was still able to record a double-double, which was his eighth of the season. He’ll continue to fill the majority of the minutes in the post for Chicago, where he’ll remain a steady producer.

Sarr was the lone bright spot for Washington in what was a poor encore to their big win over the Hawks on Tuesday. Sarr has been fantastic in his second year in the NBA, though continued poor free throw numbers have limited his overall value in category formats. However, his leap in field goal percentage, combined with improvement in nearly every other category, has led to him providing top-50 value so far this season. This was his second-straight game with at least 20 points and four stocks, and he’ll look to stay hot against the Bucks on Monday.

Huerter and Vučević are back after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Pelicans. Of the two, the latter’s return is more important, given his superior fantasy value and the way the Bulls were dominated on the boards in New Orleans. Ayo Dosunmu and Patrick Williams will come off the bench, with the former still having value to fantasy managers.

George will be back after a one-game absence. Corey Kispert started in his place, but he fractured his right thumb and will be sidelined indefinitely.

White is good to go for Friday’s game, but his minutes may be managed closely. However, having White on the floor for some minutes is better than having none at all.

George’s absence from Tuesday’s win over the Hawks led to Corey Kispert starting, and he scored 16 points in the first quarter.

Kispert fractured the tip of his right thumb during the third quarter of Tuesday’s victory. According to the team, the injury will be treated “conservatively,” so fantasy managers should consider him to be out indefinitely. Despite his hot shooting against the Hawks, Kispert has not been much of an asset in most fantasy leagues. With Tre Johnson and Kyshawn George out, there will be more minutes available to Cam Whitmore. He isn’t a must-add currently, but deep-league managers should keep an eye on Whitmore.

Middleton didn’t do much scoring on Tuesday, but he was productive in other areas. The 12 assists matched his career high, and he was also responsible for seven rebounds, the most in a game for the veteran forward since October 28. Middleton’s slow start and the Wizards’ prioritization of youth in their rebuild are why he isn’t providing top-200 fantasy value, but he’s worth the risk on a light game night like Tuesday.

Sarr recorded his sixth double-double of the season, with Tuesday’s being the third in which he’s scored at least 20 points. The second-year center has improved significantly after struggling for most of his rookie campaign, doing a better job of handling the NBA’s physicality. Sarr is providing top-40 per-game value in nine-cat formats and has shown no signs of slowing down. Even with the Wizards rebuilding, a late-season shutdown isn’t a concern for Sarr due to his youth.

The Wizards picked up their first NBA Cup victory in three seasons of the event, and they’ve got the tandem of McCollum and Corey Kispert to thank for that. While the latter had the best quarter of his NBA career, scoring 16 points in the first, McCollum was rolling all night. He scored 27 in the first half, and the final point total was four shy of his career-high. While his season-long fantasy value hasn’t been the best, McCollum has been a top-50 player in nine-cat formats over the past week.

Kispert was on a roll to begin Tuesday’s game, scoring 16 points in the first quarter. Unfortunately, he suffered a right thumb injury during the third quarter and has been ruled out for the rest of the night.

Johnson missed Saturday’s game with a sore left hip flexor. While the Wizards aren’t putting a timetable on his recovery, 2-4 weeks is the usual timeline for this injury. Johnson’s injury is one he had in college and re-aggravated, which is why the Wizards were so cautious with his minutes up to this point. Cam Whitmore and Corey Kispert are in line for additional minutes with Johnson out, though neither are worth streaming.

George had a chance to put Washington ahead in the final seconds but uncorked an errant pass that went out of bounds, sending the Wizards to their 14th straight defeat. The 21-year-old forward has been one of the club’s few standouts this season, delivering seventh-round value for fantasy purposes, averaging 16.5 points through 15 games.

With Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley out due to injury, Vukčević made his first start of the season on Friday. However, despite the opportunity, there was no reason for fantasy managers to consider streaming the third-year forward/center.

On a night when Keyonte George (5/3/4/0/2 with one three-pointer) struggled, shooting 2-of-7 from the field, Johnson had a solid outing off the bench. The rookie guard hit double figures for the fourth time in his last five games, with the 14 being the most he’s scored since November 7 (season-high 19 vs. Cleveland). Johnson isn’t at the point where he can be of much value to fantasy managers currently. Still, rookies on rebuilding teams tend to be useful during the “silly season.”

McCollum was the only Wizards player to score 15 or more points on Friday, but this season has been a struggle regarding his fantasy value. Shooting 40.5 percent from the field, which would be the lowest percentage of his career, the veteran guard is ranked outside the top-150 in eight- and nine-cat formats. With the Wizards rebuilding, McCollum’s ceiling is lower, and managers also have to factor in the possibility that his minutes decrease later in the season.
