Yabusele (shoulder) injured his left shoulder during Thursday’s win over the Wizards. Between New York and Chicago, he appeared in 67 games this season, with his playing time increasing significantly after being traded to the Bulls. However, to make the deal happen, Yabusele had to waive his player option for the 2026-27 season. He’ll be a free agent in the summer, and landing a role where he would be able to affect fantasy basketball could prove challenging.

Buzelis is back after sitting out Thursday’s win over the Wizards. His return likely means that Leonard Miller will come off the bench. However, those rostering Miller in active leagues should not be too concerned about his playing time.

While Miller is a late addition to the Bulls’ injury report, he is still considered probable to play. If available, he may once again have a prominent role, as Matas Buzelis (illness) is questionable. Miller finished Thursday’s win over the Wizards with 26 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers. He is worth rostering in active fantasy leagues, even if Buzelis is available.

Towns recorded his league-leading 55th double-double of the season on Thursday, and he did so on 50 percent shooting from the field. Against the Celtics, KAT appeared to have a better feel for when to pop for jumpers and when to attack the basket in the two-man game, especially with Jalen Brunson. If the Knicks are to make good on the preseason expectations, the Towns who was on display against the Celtics will need to show up consistently.

One game removed from recording a 30-point double-double in a win over the Hawks, Brunson recorded his third double-double in as many games on Thursday. Over his last three games, the Knicks’ point guard has been responsible for 34 assists and six turnovers. While Brunson is a more than capable scorer, the Knicks are at their best offensively when everyone plays a part in the action. Against the Celtics, Brunson was efficient as a scorer and playmaker, one of the reasons why the Knicks pulled out the victory.

If the Celtics were going to give up anything defensively on Thursday, it was going to be Josh Hart’s three-point attempts. Unfortunately for Boston, the strategy backfired, as he shot 5-of-7 from beyond the arc, including two fourth-quarter daggers. The 26 points were the most in a game for Hart since he scored 33 in a March 17 win over the Pacers. Boston wasn’t the first time to take that defensive approach with Hart, and they won’t be the last. And if he can make teams pay consistently, his and the Knicks’ ceilings will be raised.

Jones put on a show on Thursday, recording the third 30-point game of his NBA career, with two occurring this season. He’s scored at least 20 points in three straight games, the first time he’s done so this season. For those in active fantasy leagues, the Bulls have two more games on the schedule. If Jones is available for both, he has the potential to be a league-winner.

Bulls head coach Billy Donovan’s willingness to continue to play his available veterans likely benefited fantasy managers who rostered Sexton and Tre Jones. The former had an excellent night in the nation’s capital, shooting over 50 percent from the field and finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Sexton has scored in double figures in 10 consecutive games, and the 27 points were the most in a game for him since he tallied 28 in a March 8 loss to the Kings.

With most fantasy leagues already wrapped up, Miller’s performance against the Wizards won’t have much of an impact in that regard. However, his solid play since being traded to Chicago may help solidify his future, whether it’s in the Windy City or elsewhere. Miller has a team option for the 2026-27 season, and he would be a low-cost option to help fill out the roster if the Bulls decide to pick it up.

Yabsuele suffered a sprained left shoulder during Thursday’s game, ending his night after 16 minutes of play. He finished with five points, five rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer. Yabusele’s absence frees up additional minutes for Patrick Williams and Lachlan Olbrich.

Dillingham is seeing more minutes with Josh Giddey (hamstring) out lately and he capitalized on his opportunity Tuesday against the Wizards. The 21-year-old shooting guard dropped a season-high 26 points and five three-pointers in 27 minutes off the bench. A top-10 pick in 2024, Dillingham showed he could be a player to watch going forward.

Williams hadn’t played at least 30 minutes in a game since the middle of February, but picked up minutes in the second half with Isaac Okoro (quad) sidelined. The 24-year-old forward led the Bulls with 32 minutes played and was arguably the best player one the floor Tuesday. Williams had an excellent game that came complete with a full stat line. It’s the kind of performance the Bulls envisioned him having regularly when he was drafted fourth overall in 2020, but have only occasionally seen from Williams.

Jones has now scored at least 20 points in four of his last seven games. The 26-year-old point guard has picked up his game lately as he’s provided sixth-round per game value over the last two weeks.

Brunson got off to a slow start to this game, and he entered halftime with just six points. Per usual, he was able to come up big late to help lead the Knicks to victory. He scored 17 points in the fourth quarter and 24 total points in the second half to help New York secure a three-point victory. This was his 11th double-double of the season, with three of those coming in his last five games, including two straight. Brunson’s production this season was pretty similar to what he did last year, though he did slow down as the year progressed. Still, he reminded the world in this game that he’ll be ready to take over when the playoffs start.

The solution for the Knicks was apparently to get Anunoby going offensively. He scored a total of 35 points across their three-game losing streak, but he has averaged 26 points and five triples during this three-game win streak. Anunoby has been a fantasy star once again for New York despite a slight drop in minutes, and he’ll continue to be a pivotal piece for them as they fight for playoff positioning over the final three games of the regular season.

Following a one-game absence against Chicago on Friday, Towns was back to take on Atlanta. That pushed Mitchell Robinson back to the bench, though he still contributed 12 rebounds and five stocks in 20 minutes. KAT wasn’t able to match his triple-double from his last appearance, but he was able to stuff the stat sheet efficiently, which was enough for the Knicks to win a third straight game. KAT hasn’t been as productive in his second season with the Knicks, but he’s still a fantasy stud and will be an important piece for them entering the postseason.

With no Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow), Robinson made his return to action as a starter after sitting out Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies. He did most of his damage before halftime, finishing the first half with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Robinson was also responsible for three defensive contributions in his 23 minutes.

For the first time in a month, Bridges has scored at least 20 points in a game. No Jalen Brunson in the lineup opened things up for the other Knicks, especially those who take a back seat offensively on most nights. In addition to shooting 66.7 percent from the field, Bridges’ three free throws were the most he’s attempted in a game since March 13. In fact, since that win over the Pacers, he totaled four free-throw attempts in the nine games that followed.
