Josh Giddey wasn’t the only Bull the Knicks struggled to corral on Friday, as Chicago scored a season-high 132 points and shot 53.6 percent from the field. Vučević was one of three Bulls to score at least 22 points in the nine-point victory, which Chicago led by 22 at the half. The 26 points are the most he’s scored in a game since the season opener, when Vooch dropped 28 on Detroit. As surprising as Vučević was in fantasy basketball last season, he’ll go into Chicago’s final game of Week 2 (Sunday at New York) providing top-20 value in nine-cat formats.

While it may be challenging to justify rostering Dosunmu in 10-team leagues once Coby White returns from injury, he’s definitely worth having in 14-team and even some 12-team leagues. Ayo had a stellar performance on Friday, surpassing the 20-point mark for the second time in three games and dishing out a season-high nine assists. However, it’s important to note that Dosunmu entered Friday with seven total assists, so that part of the stat line was likely an outlier. He’s rostered in 21 percent of Yahoo! leagues and would be worth a roll of the dice in deep leagues ahead of Sunday’s rematch with the Knicks in New York.

With Philadelphia losing to the Celtics on Friday, the Bulls are the lone remaining undefeated team in the Eastern Conference. Giddey had a lot to do with Chicago’s move to 5-0. After four solid performances, he was spectacular against the Knicks, who could not find an answer for the guard defensively. Giddey shot 4-of-8 from three and 57.1 percent from the field overall, and he finished one assist shy of a triple-double without committing a turnover. He’s providing top-75 value in nine-cat formats, below his Yahoo! ADP of 28. More nights like Friday will help close that gap.

Suggs sat out Thursday on the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he’ll be back in action after that one-game absence. Anthony Black went off for 20 points in Thursday’s spot start, but he’ll likely cede his spot with the first unit back to Suggs on Saturday.

Da Silva has reached double figures in four of Orlando’s first six games, with Thursday’s output being his best. The second-year wing is in a challenging spot to provide consistent fantasy value, as he backs up Franz Wagner, but he can be helpful in certain matchups. Da Silva played well against the Hornets, and Saturday’s game against the Wizards could be another spot where he offers sneaky deep-league value.

While Carter has grabbed at least eight rebounds in five of his six games played, the offensive production has been limited. Having scored between eight and 10 points in Orlando’s first five games, WCJ had his best night of the season against the Hornets. He established season-highs in points and three-pointers while shooting 66.7 percent from the field. However, while this was a solid effort, Carter’s production before Thursday suggests that this won’t become the norm. Especially with Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane ahead of him in the pecking order. Carter remains a deep-league option only.

The Magic were without starting point guard Jalen Suggs on Thursday, as the game was the team’s second in as many nights. While Tyus Jones (five points, one steal and one three-pointer in 14 minutes) started the first game that Suggs missed, Black was tabbed to fill the void on Thursday, taking on the task of defending LaMelo Ball. While solid defensively, the third-year guard had his best offensive night of the season, scoring 20 points and shooting 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero handled most of the playmaking for the starters, but this did not negatively impact Black’s production. Suggs should be back for Saturday’s game against the Wizards, but the Magic had to be encouraged by what they saw from Black.

Wagner, who entered Thursday’s game with a left heel contusion, played 34 minutes without any issues. While he hasn’t reached his Yahoo! ADP of 36 just yet, the Magic forward is providing top-75 value in nine-cat formats. Wagner and the Magic play once more during Week 2, as they visit the Wizards on Saturday.

Banchero and the Magic ended their four-game losing streak on Thursday, with the star forward finishing one rebound and one assist shy of a triple-double. The lone negative for him was the foul shooting, with Paolo making just two of his six attempts on the night. Free-throw percentage and turnovers have lowered Banchero’s value in nine-cat formats, but fantasy managers shouldn’t be too concerned with the season being just over one week old.

The Magic are without Jalen Suggs for Thursday’s game, as it’s the team’s second in as many nights. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Black, who’s worth streaming in deep leagues. Tyus Jones is also worth a look, especially for managers needing assists with a low turnover tally.

Wagner, who logged 31 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Pistons, is dealing with a left heel contusion. He’s yet to miss a game this season, and his absence would significantly impact the Magic rotation. Tristan da Silva may be the player most likely to move into the starting lineup if Wagner can’t play, with rookie Noah Penda also in the running for increased playing time.

Thursday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Magic, who lost to the Pistons on Wednesday. Suggs still has not reached the point where he’ll play both games of back-to-backs, and fantasy managers should continue to account for this moving forward. The fantasy values of Tyus Jones and Anthony Black will increase with Suggs unavailable, with the former being a slightly safer streaming option.

Giddey has now scored at least 18 points in all four games this season, had at least eight rebounds in three games this season and had at least 11 assists in two games this season. The 23-year-old point guard has had a double-double three times in four games this year including Wednesday against the Kings. Giddey had five turnovers, but otherwise his production has been outstanding.

Buzelis was just 7-of-19 from the field over his last two games, but bounced back with a 27-point outing against the Kings on Wednesday. The 21-year-old small forward had his best three-point shooting game of the year so far with four made three-pointers. Buzelis’ scoring acumen seems to have carried over from the second half of last season to this season.

Banchero was just three assists shy of a triple-double against the Pistons on Wednesday. The 22-year-old power forward missed seven free throw attempts and all three of his three-point attempts. The Magic trailed by just one at halftime with the Pistons pulling away in the second half. He’s had at least 24 points in three consecutive games.

Coming off the bench, Dosunmu was able to provide a scoring punch for the Bulls, especially in the fourth quarter, where he scored 10 of his 21 points. Dosunmu has been solid off the bench this season, averaging 16.7 points and 3.0 three-pointers in 26.7 minutes per game. He has shot the ball well, which has led to strong production in category leagues despite zero defensive stats to this point. As a reserve, it’s difficult to roster him in standard leagues, especially with Coby White’s return coming soon.

Vucevic fell one assist shy of recording a triple-double, which would’ve made this an even more impressive performance. He had a total of three assists through the first two games and tripled that total in this game alone. He also set a new season-high for rebounds. The Bulls moved to 3-0 with the win, and Vucevic will look to help them move to 4-0 on Wednesday with his former teammate Zach LaVine coming to town.

Giddey entered this game listed as questionable, but he was able to play through the finger injury on his right hand and have a big night. He recorded his first points-rebounds double-double of the season and is now averaging 19.3 points, 8.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game. His production in those three categories late last season led to him being drafted in the third-round in Yahoo! leagues. Next up on the schedule is a home matchup with the Kings on Wednesday.

Banchero did his best to help Orlando mount a second-half comeback effort, but they were unable to come all the way back, slashing the deficit to two points with just over six minutes left before the 76ers pulled away for good. The 22-year-old burgeoning superstar scored 17 of his 32 points in the first half on 5-of-7 shooting to go along with six free throws. He wound up getting to the line six times in this one and was perfect from the stripe. He’s scored at least 24 points in three of Orlando’s first four contests to kick off the season.

Bane got off to a sluggish start but caught fire in the second half to finish with 24 points before fouling out with just over two minutes left in the game. The 27-year-old has struggled from three-point range in an extremely small sample size at the outset of his Orlando debut, but has still scored at least 14 points in all four contests. It feels like only a matter of time before he start to capitalize on the wide open looks Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner’s playmaking should generate.

Giddey won’t end up missing any time due to the finger injury that caused his name to show up on the injury report.

Giddey has a sprained right ring finger, hence his inclusion on the Bulls’ injury report. As a right-handed shooter, the injury has the potential to be problematic. If Giddey cannot play on Monday, Ayo Dosunmu and Kevin Huerter will have added importance. Dosunmu offers a higher streaming ceiling, especially if he’s allowed to start.

Suggs did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Bulls, which was Orlando’s second game in as many nights. He’ll be available on Monday, so Tyus Jones will come off the bench.

After scoring 24 and 27 points while shooting over 50 percent in each of Orlando’s first two games, Wagner was quieter in their loss to Chicago. He missed his only three-point attempt after shooting 2-of-5 in each of his first two games of the season. This wasn’t a terrible game, but it wasn’t as productive as the first two were. He’ll look to bounce back in Philadelphia on Monday to kick off a four-game week.

It was another rough shooting night for Banchero, but he was able to score more than he did against the Hawks on Friday night. Through three games, Banchero is shooting just 34 percent from the floor and has a grand total of three assists. The shooting percentage has never been high, and he should correct it as the season progresses. However, the lack of playmaking early on is frustrating. The Magic have four games next week, starting in Philadelphia on Monday.

Jalen Suggs (knee) was sidelined for the second leg of Orlando’s back-to-back, which allowed Tyus Jones to start in his place. However, Black was the beneficiary in the box score. Black scores a total of 15 points over the Magic’s first two games, but he exceeded that mark in this game alone. Suggs should be back to play the 76ers on Monday, but they have another back-to-back on Wednesday and Thursday. Suggs will likely sit one of those, which will be another solid opportunity for Black.

Nikola Vucevic (15 points) was solid, but Smith was more effective on offense in this game while playing just 17 minutes.

With Matas Buzelis in foul trouble, Williams ended up taking on a larger role off the bench. He took advantage of the opportunity after only scoring four points in 17 minutes in the season opener. It was good to see the former top-five pick have a strong night, and he could certainly have earned more minutes moving forward. However, he likely won’t continue to see the 29 minutes that he saw in this game unless Buzelis ends up in foul trouble again.

Matched up with his brother Tyus, Tre was able to win this matchup. His brother was held scoreless in 14 minutes, while Jones was able to turn in a strong stat line. Jones has been a starter to open the year with Coby White (calf) sidelined, and he has taken advantage of the opportunity. Jones is currently rostered in just 19 percent of Yahoo! leagues but should be considered a must-roster player until White is available.

Through the first two games of the year, da Silva has been a strong reserve scoring option for Orlando. He had 16 points and three triples in the season opener, and he was able to contribute some dimes and swipes in this game on top of the buckets that he was still able to provide. With a matchup against Chicago up next, da Silva will look to continue contributing in a reserve role.

Wagner has been on a tear to start the season. After scoring 24 points in the season opener, he added 27 more in this game while shooting about 50 percent from the floor in each game. His dominance during EuroBasket for Germany has carried over into the regular season for Orlando, which is a delight for fantasy managers. He also shot 2-of-5 on threes for a second straight game, which he’ll look to keep going against the Bulls on Saturday.

Suggs has only played 17 and 19 minutes through the first two games of the season after undergoing knee surgery back in March, so it isn’t surprising that he will likely miss the second night of the back-to-back. He had 11 points, three rebounds, four assists and three triples during Friday’s loss. Suggs has been solid, but he won’t be able to be truly productive until he’s back to playing a full workload. On Saturday, Tyus Jones or Anthony Black will likely start at point guard.

After that, he missed two triples, including one that would have given them a lead with less than 10 seconds remaining. He’ll look to bounce back against the Bulls on Saturday.

While his scoring and three blocks were positives, there’s certainly areas Buzelis can look to improve on after Wednesday’s outing.

Bane, who was acquired in an offseason trade from the Grizzlies, fit right in during his Magic debut against the Heat on Wednesday. The 27-year-old shooting guard provided some much needed shooting as he knocked down three three-points and all six of his free throw attempts. Bane had 23 points while Paolo Banchero had 24 and Franz Wagner also had 24. Orlando’s Big 3 will be fun to watch all season long and fantasy managers would be happy if that even scoring distribution remained.

Banchero îs usually more of a facilitator. The 22-year-old power forward averaged 4.8 assists per game last year, but had just one assist in his first game playing alongside the newly acquired Desmond Bane. Banchero’s assist totals could be something to watch going forward, though it’s only one game. He was certainly effective scoring and rebounding the basketball against the Heat, which showed in his final line with a 24-point double-double.

White strained his calf in August, and the hope was that he could return in time for the Bulls’ preseason finale. He was unable to, but the guard did take some contact during a controlled scrimmage on Saturday. The plan is for White to get in more contact work on Monday and Tuesday, and he’s on track to be available for Wednesday’s opener. Given the time missed, fantasy managers should plan for White to be under a restriction of some kind. Tre Jones started Thursday’s preseason finale and would retain that role if the Bulls decide to bring White off the bench.
