Terry has been one of the Bulls’ key bench players in recent weeks and has a good chance to be one of the first players off the pine on Wednesday. However, he’s unlikely to play a significant role in such an important game.

Giddey plans on returning from a two-game layoff against the Heat for Wednesday’s play-in game. Julian Phillips started Chicago’s final two regular season games, but with Giddey likely back, he won’t play a significant role against Miami. This is a win-or-go-home game for both teams, so expect Giddey to play extra minutes in order to keep the Bulls’ season alive.

Giddey missed three of the Bulls’ final four regular-season games but is set to return for the play-in game on Wednesday. Giddey logged 40 minutes in his last game and could have a similar workload against Miami with Lonzo Ball and Tre Jones banged up.

Tyson was a first-round pick last summer, but he wasn’t able to carve out a role on a talented Cavs team. That isn’t an indictment of his talent since Cleveland finished with the best record in the East. He took advantage of the opportunity to play a significant role in this game and had the best game of his young career. Tyson won’t be a factor for them during the postseason, but he has a bright future in the league.
CLE • Center-Forward • #13

Thompson has been an elite rebounder for his entire career, but it has been a few years since he played enough to be relevant in fantasy basketball. However, he got the chance in this game and took advantage. His 20 rebounds were the most he has had in a game since 2020 when he grabbed a career-best 22 boards. It was fun to see Thompson play this well, but he won’t see more than a few minutes during the postseason.

Smith was questionable earlier in the day on Sunday with a headache, but he ended up playing through it and recording a double-double in just 16 minutes. Smith has been the third center option behind Nikola Vucevic and Zach Collins, but Vucevic didn’t play in the second half of this game, which allowed both Smith and Collins (13/4/2) to take on extra minutes. However, while they will still provide some depth, Vucevic will fill out most of the center minutes during the Play-In Tournament.

Huerter got off to a scorching hot start and entered halftime with 18 points and five triples. However, he didn’t play after halftime and ended up playing just 16 minutes, though that was enough time for him to lead the Bulls in scoring. Huerter has played well since being traded to Chicago and should continue to play a significant role in the postseason. They’ll host the Heat to start next week and will have to win two games to make the playoffs.

Smith was a late addition to the injury report on Sunday morning, but a headache won’t keep him out of the lineup for the regular season finale. Nikola Vucevic is playing and will start, but he may not play many minutes. Smith will split most of the center minutes with Zach Collins, unless Billy Donovan opts to play Vucevic more than he should in a meaningless game.

Sidelined since February, Ball will resume basketball activities on Monday. However, he’s unlikely to be available for Wednesday’s play-in tournament matchup with the Heat. If Chicago can advance, they will play the Atlanta/Orlando loser on Friday for the eighth seed in the East. Kevin Huerter has started in Ball’s absence and should continue to do so.

Terry has been upgraded from probable to available, and his playing time may increase on Sunday. The Bulls have secured the ninth seed in the East and have ruled Josh Giddey out. With Coby White’s playing time likely being managed closely, additional minutes may be available to Terry, especially after halftime.

Smith is a late addition to the Bulls’ injury report, which does not bode well for his availability. If he’s unable to play, Zach Collins has the most to gain regarding playing time.

The Cavaliers’ lineup will be depleted for Sunday’s regular-season finale. Jarrett Allen is the only rotation player of note who will be available.

Unsurprisingly, Hunter and Jerome are among the Cavaliers’ rotation players who will sit out Sunday’s regular-season finale. Craig Porter Jr. and Javonte Green should figure prominently in the rotation, and there may even be room for an Emoni Bates or Chuma Okeke. Of those options, Porter is the safest for fantasy managers in active leagues.

Garland will not play in Sunday’s regular season finale after leading the Cavaliers to a win over the Knicks on Friday. Mitchell will miss a fourth-straight game with a sprained ankle, but he should be fine to begin the playoffs next weekend.

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.

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.

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.
CHI • Forward • #15

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.

Despite having secured the East’s top seed for the playoffs, the Cavaliers went all-out with their four available starters on Friday. Mobley, who did not play in Thursday’s loss to the Pacers, logged 35 minutes and recorded his 36th double-double in the comeback win over New York. He finished the 2023-24 campaign with 22 double-doubles and has benefitted from the Cavaliers making him more of an offensive focal point. Cleveland ends its regular season on Sunday against the Pacers; we’ll see how much Mobley and the other starters play.
CLE • Guard-Forward • #1

Strus was one of three Cavaliers starters who returned to the lineup after sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Pacers. He shot 5-of-12 from three on the night, including three makes during the fourth quarter. Strus’s fantasy value is limited to that of a specialist since he shares the court with four standouts ahead of him in the offensive pecking order. However, he can be helpful to fantasy managers needing three-pointers, rebounds and the occasional defensive stats. Strus and the Cavaliers host the Pacers in their regular-season finale on Sunday, and the outcome will not impact either team’s playoff seeding.

As he did in Cleveland’s win at Madison Square Garden on October 28, Garland took over during the fourth quarter on Friday. The All-Star point guard shot 6-of-6 from the field in the final frame, with five of the makes occurring in the restricted area. Garland’s charge helped Cleveland complete their rally from a 23-point deficit to win a game that had no impact on their seeding for the upcoming playoffs. With Sunday’s opponent, Indiana, also locked into its seed, fantasy managers should not expect to see Garland playing 30-plus minutes in the regular-season finale.

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.

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.

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.

Mitchell sprained his left ankle during the third quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Kings. While he did return later in the quarter, there’s no reason for the Cavaliers not to give their star guard a night off. Sam Merrill was Mitchell’s replacement the last time he missed a game, which may be the case on Tuesday. While this would boost Merrill’s fantasy value slightly, he is not a must-stream player.

Mitchell tweaked his left ankle during the third quarter of Sunday’s game but returned after a quick trip to the locker room. With the Cavaliers close to locking up home-court advantage throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs, he may not be guaranteed to play all four of Cleveland’s Week 23 games. That could be problematic for Mitchell managers whose leagues run through the end of the NBA regular season.

While he had a rough night at the foul line, Mobley’s overall stat line is one from which many category league managers will benefit, especially those who entered Sunday needing defensive production. The six “stocks” were the most Mobley has recorded in a game since November 27, when he tallied four steals and three blocks in a win over the Hawks. Over the past two weeks, Mobley has been a top-25 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, providing increased value at the right time for managers whose leagues ended on Sunday. For those whose leagues are active during Week 23, Mobley and the Cavaliers are scheduled to play four games.

Sunday’s game was the first for Jerome since March 25, as a knee injury sidelined him for five games. The Cavaliers’ reserve guard showed no signs of rust against the Kings and has scored 20 points or more in 12 games this season. That’s double Jerome’s total in the first five seasons of his NBA career. While the mainstream conversation regarding the Most Improved Player award has focused on Cade Cunningham, Jerome is one of the under-discussed players whose name should come up more.

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.

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.

Garland has scored at least 20 points just once in his last five games despite playing at least 30 minutes in all five games.

While Garland’s final stat line would not be described as elite, it was a performance he and those who have him rostered needed. In his three prior appearances, the Cavaliers guard shot 34.8 percent from the field and averaged 16.7 points per game.

He’ll look to build on this performance when the Cavaliers visit the lottery-bound Spurs on Friday.

Allen may not have been dominant in Wednesday’s victory, but his performance could be considered excellent. The Cavaliers center has surpassed the 20-point mark in three of his last four outings, shooting an incredible 85.4 percent from the field. Over the past week, Allen has been ranked just outside the top 25 in nine-cat per-game value. Sidekick Evan Mobley was solid on Wednesday, finishing with 13 points, four rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer. Allen’s production carried the night, moving the Cavaliers one game closer to locking down home-court advantage throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs.

After a slow first half, Mitchell kicked into high gear in the second, as Cleveland stormed back and won comfortably. He’s scored at least 24 points in four straight games, which is one reason why he’s provided top-5 value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past week. The Cavaliers end Week 22 with games against the Spurs and Kings, which are good matchups for Mitchell. However, with Cleveland closing in on the one-seed in the East, fantasy managers will hope he isn’t given a night off in advance for the playoffs.
