Vucevic has recorded a double-double in three of his last four outings. And over the past two weeks, the Bulls center has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. While the fantasy value has tailed off after a red-hot start to the season, Vooch remains ranked well within the top 50 in eight- and nine-cat formats regarding season-long value. Based on the Yahoo! ADP of 54, he’s exceeded the expectations of many fantasy managers.

Buzelis surpassed 30 points for the first time on Saturday, doing so on a night when the Bulls scored a season-high 146. Rostered in 13 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Matas is ranked outside the top 150 in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. However, his place within the Bulls’ rotation makes him worth the risk in deep leagues. Fantasy managers would be in a better place with Buzelis if he provided more in the assist and defensive categories. Still, there’s no denying that the rookie has made strides in his development.

White has scored 35 points or more in consecutive games for the first time this season, and the 36 tallied on Saturday were the most he’s had since March 6 against Orlando. The Bulls guard has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. And the moves made at the trade deadline appear to have unlocked something for White, who has averaged 25.6 points per game since the All-Star break. He’ll look to extend his 35-point streak to three when the Bulls visit Denver on Monday.

Giddey had one of the best nights of his NBA career on Saturday, matching his career-high in assists and doubling his previous high in steals. The Bulls guard finished two steals from the first quadruple-double since David Robinson in 1994. However, he did become the tenth player in league history to finish a game with at least 15 points, 10 rebounds, 15 assists and five steals. While dealing with Luka Doncic wasn’t easy for Giddey, he took advantage of the opportunity and recorded an elite fantasy stat line. Unfortunately, the Bulls only play three games during Week 21, starting with the Nuggets on Monday in the final game of their road trip.

Initially probable for Saturday’s game, Huerter is good to go. With Tre Jones (foot) out for at least two weeks, Red Velvet will likely remain in the Bulls’ starting lineup for the foreseeable future. This raises Huerter’s fantasy ceiling, making him worth rostering in deep leagues.

Jones sprained his left foot during Thursday’s game in Sacramento. His absence means Kevin Huerter should remain in the starting lineup, as there would be no need to move Huerter to the bench to make room for Josh Giddey. Red Velvet has been productive enough to merit being rostered in deep leagues when allowed to play starters’ minutes in Chicago.

Thompson returned after missing the last six games and played great. The 22-year-old point guard wasn’t on a minutes restriction as he played 35 minutes in the four-point victory. Thompson impacted the game every which way with 18 points, nine rebounds, five assists, seven steals, and a block. It’s good to have him back for both the Rockets and fantasy managers.

Earlier this week, VanVleet struggled badly with his shot against the 76ers. The 31-year-old point guard scored three points on 1-of-6 shooting in 38 minutes of a game that went to overtime. Two games later, VanVleet dropped 37 points on the Heat to hand them their 10th straight loss. It was the most points he’s had in a game since December 1 against the Thunder, when he had 38 points. Houston finishes the week with a matchup Sunday against the Nuggets.

Giddey missed Thursday’s game, which was the second night of a back-to-back. He’ll be back in the lineup to take on Los Angeles. Giddey came off the bench in his most recent appearance, but if Tre Jones (foot) is out, he’ll return to a starting role If Jones plays, Giddey could continue to come off the bench, or he could push Jones or Kevin Huerter to a reserve role. Either way, Dalen Terry won’t play 20 minutes again.

Thompson will be back after missing Houston’s last six games. He will also immediately return to the starting lineup, which will likely push Tari Eason to a reserve role. Eason and Jabari Smith Jr. should still play large roles off the bench, but Thompson doesn’t have a minutes restriction, so Eason and Smith Jr. will be slightly limited.

Jones was forced to leave the game with just two minutes left due to what the team is now calling a left midfoot sprain. He had X-rays, but they came back negative. An exact timeline for Jones’ absence is unclear, but it seems likely that he will miss Saturday’s game against the Lakers. Josh Giddey should return to the starting lineup in his place.

For the 11th-straight game, White was able to score at least 20 points, which extends the longest streak of his career. It was a rough first half for him, and he entered the break with just four points, but he was able to get things going in the second half. White’s 31 points in the second half were the most that he has ever scored in a single half, narrowly edging out a 30-point half from last February. White will look to keep his scoring tear going in Los Angeles on Saturday to wrap up the week.

Huerter made his return to Sacramento after being traded to Chicago at the deadline. Clearly, there was some added motivation for him after he was part of the deal that brought Zach LaVine to the Kings. Huerter outscored LaVine 25 to eight and had his best game as a Bull. Huerter has played well recently overall as a starter for their last five games, but this game was a step beyond his recent play. He’ll look to carry this momentum to Los Angeles for a matchup with the Lakers on Saturday.

After starting off the week with a really poor shooting performance, Vucevic has been much better over Chicago’s last two games. He came close to recording his second triple-double of the season, with the other coming in February. Vucevic’s elite start to the year feels like ancient history, and he has provided seventh-round value over the past two months. This performance was reminiscent of his early-season success, and it came at a great time for fantasy managers that needed him to come through during the postseason.

Reports from earlier in the week suggested that Thompson could make his return to the lineup against Miami, and the most recent injury report indicates that will likely be the case.

Vucevic’s 24 points were the most he’s had in a game since February 20, a span of six games. The 34-year-old center dealt with a calf strain earlier in March, but appeared over the injury Wednesday. Vucevic could be a major factor in the fantasy playoffs if he regains his early season form.

White has now scored at least 20 points in each of his last 10 games. The 25-year-old point guard has been a top-50 fantasy player in eight-category leagues in March. White has been the primary offensive option for Chicago since the Bulls traded Zach LaVine prior to the trade deadline. He’s not in danger of being shutdown or even taking rest days with the Bulls in position for a spot in the play-in tournament.

Eason’s line on Wednesday was excellent, as he filled the stat sheet outside of three-pointers. The five steals were one shy of his season and career highs, and Eason has scored 15 points or more in four straight outings. Since the All-Star break, Eason has provided fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. With Amen Thompson (ankle) likely returning on Friday, Tari may return to the bench. However, he should still be rostered in standard leagues.

Sengun has recorded a double-double in four straight and five of his last six appearances, one reason why the Rockets have ripped off eight consecutive wins. He committed three turnovers, which is lower than his average of 3.8 per game since the All-Star break. Due to the turnovers, a four-round gap separates Sengun’s eight-cat and nine-cat values. He’ll look to end Week 20 on a high note as the Rockets close with games against the Heat and Nuggets.

Green and the Rockets have won their last eight games, with a strong second half getting the job done on Wednesday. Green has scored 23 points or more in five straight games, averaging 27.2 points per contest.

The Rockets play twice more during Week 20, starting with the Heat on Friday in the final game of their current road trip.

Giddey is back after missing three games with a sprained ankle. The player impacted the most by his return is Kevin Huerter, who will likely head back to the bench.

Buzelis finished Monday’s victory one rebound shy of a double-double and one steal shy of a complete stat line. Since the All-Star break, the Bulls rookie is ranked outside the top 150 in eight-cat formats.

Chicago plays three more games during Week 20, starting with the Suns on Wednesday.

Josh Giddey’s (ankle) absence has boosted Huerter’s value, as he has started Chicago’s last three games. Red Velvet struggled in Saturday’s loss to the Rockets, scoring nine points on 4-of-11 shooting, but he was much better against the lottery-bound Jazz. The five three-pointers were the most in a game for Huerter since February 24, when he hit seven in a win over the 76ers. Rostered in 11 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Huerter is worth streaming as long as Giddey is out.

White has been excellent in March, averaging 28.1 points per game while providing top-50 value in eight-cat formats. Josh Giddey’s absence has opened things up even more for White, but the most significant catalyst was Chicago trading Zach LaVine at the February deadline. And with Chicago in a position to earn a play-in tournament spot, playing time won’t be an issue for White for the rest of the season.

A top-50 player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks, Jones had another quality performance in Chicago’s win over the Jazz. He recorded his first double-double as a Bull, and Jones has scored at least 18 points in three straight appearances. While Lonzo Ball (wrist) is not being shut down for the rest of the season, he is still without a timeline for return. Jones should be rostered in more than 24 percent of Yahoo! leagues, especially with the Bulls playing three more games this week.

Prior to fouling out, Brooks was able to pour in the points. This was the second time during this winning streak that Brooks has scored at least 25 points in a game. He isn’t typically a strong option in category formats, but when he is able to score at this rate, he can make an impact. Still, managers can’t trust him to score like this consistently. This was a great performance for Brooks, but he should only be rostered in deeper formats.

Smith Jr. was pushed back to playing a reserve role with Tari Eason back in the lineup, but that didn’t stop him from filling up the box score. Smith Jr. set a new season-high for scoring in this game and came up clutch at the end. He hit a three-pointer with less than 30 seconds left to cut Philly’s lead to three, and with Houston down three with five seconds left, Smith Jr. was sent to the free throw line. He made the first and perfectly missed the second at the right angle to allow Alperen Sengun to collect the rebound and tie the game up. It has been a rough year overall for Smith Jr., but hopefully this can provide him with some momentum.

After a rough first half in which Green finished with just five points on 2-of-11 shooting, he was able to flip the script after the break. He contributed 25 points and nine assists after halftime to help them erase a 25-point deficit in the third quarter and win in overtime. This was the the fourth-straight game that Green has scored at least 20 points, and he has scored 25 in three of those four. This is turning into another late season scoring tear for Green, which has helped Houston win seven games in a row.

Though it was a rough shooting night for VanVleet, he was able to somewhat make up for it with production in other categories. His night came to an end a bit early after he was whistled for a Flagrant 2 foul late in the fourth quarter. Houston was able to complete the comeback and get the win, but it was without VanVleet on the floor. Shooting percentage has never been a strong category for him, but he shouldn’t have many more duds like this one moving forward.

The Rockets were without Tari Eason for Saturday’s game, as it was the team’s second in as many nights. As a result, Smith returned to the starting lineup and provided solid value in the rebound category. However, being a starter may limit Smith’s ceiling as a scorer. With the Rockets playing four games without a back-to-back during Week 20, Eason’s availability should not be an issue. That would mean a return to the bench for Smith, who should still be rostered in most leagues.

Green has scored 23 points or more in three straight games, and the improved scoring has boosted his fantasy value. Over the past week, the Rockets guard has been a third-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats.

Houston plays four games during Week 20, starting with the 76ers on Monday.

VanVleet’s field goal percentage wasn’t the best, but the overall stat line was good for the Rockets point guard. He has been a 10th-round player over the past week, a few rounds worse than his season-long value.

Also working in VanVleet’s favor is Houston playing four games during Week 20 without a back-to-back.

Sengun was outstanding on Saturday, grabbing 15 rebounds for the second straight game. While the fantasy value since the All-Star break hasn’t been what fantasy managers have grown accustomed to, the issue for the Rockets center has been turnovers. He’s averaged 3.8 per game since the break, which is why there’s a five-round gap between Sengun’s eight- and nine-cat values. He committed three turnovers on Saturday, but the overall stat line compensated for that.

Having scored 20 points or more in five of his last six games entering Friday, Sengun did not add another high-scoring night to his tally. However, the 15 rebounds are the most he’s accumulated in a game since February 4. If there has been an issue for Sengun since the All-Star break, it’s been turnovers. Averaging 3.9 per game, he’s ranked well outside the top 100 in nine-cat formats (top 75 in eight-cat). After totaling 11 turnovers in the two games prior, Sengun only committed two turnovers on Friday.

Since the All-Star break, Green has improved his fantasy value, ranking within the top 75 in eight-cat formats and inside the top 100 in nine-cat formats. Jalen’s assists and steals have increased compared to his season numbers, helping close the gap between his eight- and nine-cat values. Amen Thompson sitting out due to injury may be a factor, but Green’s improvements began before Amen was sidelined. Houston ends its Week 19 slate with a home game against the Bulls on Saturday.

Two nights removed from recording a double-double, Eason had one of his best games of the season on Friday. The 30 points were a season-high for the Rockets forward, who was efficient offensively and impactful as a rebounder and defender. Rostered in 49 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Eason has been a fifth-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. However, with the Rockets facing the Bulls on Saturday, it’s possible that Eason does not play. If so, Jabari Smith Jr. (13 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two blocked shots) will likely return to the starting lineup.

Adams absolutely dominated down low in the 23 minutes that he was on the floor. He entered halftime with 11 points and 11 rebounds, and while he only added six more boards after halftime, it was enough to be one of Adams’ best games of the season.
