This will be a sixth-straight absence for Beal, and there is currently no end in sight. Collin Gillespie should continue to start in place of Beal, but he hasn’t been able to offer much fantasy production. However, rookie Ryan Dunn has shined recently and provided top-100 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks.

As expected, White will be good to go against Los Angeles. White has been on a scoring tear recently, averaging 30.3 points per game over the past two weeks. He’ll look to keep that going against a Laker team that will be playing the second leg of a back-to-back.

Ball was initially listed as questionable, which shows he at least had a chance of returning from a wrist injury that’s kept him out since February 28. Ultimately, the 27-year-old point guard will sit out again, but his return isn’t far off. Ball’s eventual return will cut into Kevin Huerter’s playing time.

Giddey and Vucevic were both listed as questionable on the injury report, but will ultimately suit up Thursday against the Lakers. Giddey is said to be dealing with hand inflammation while Vucevic has a back issue. Both players should play without limitations.

Booker has hit double figures in assists in three straight and five of his last seven appearances. While he has only shot 43.9 percent from the field over the past two weeks, the improved assist production is why the Suns’ guard has offered top-50 value during this stretch. Of course, the Suns and fantasy managers want to see Booker shoot the ball better than he has. However, subpar shooting has not kept him from offering solid overall value. The Suns play two more games during Week 21, starting with the Timberwolves on Friday.

Durant got his points on Wednesday and has scored 30 points or more in three straight games. However, he did not offer much else in the loss to the Celtics, which was terrible news for category league managers. The good news is that nights like Wednesday have not been the norm for the future Hall of Fame forward. Over the past two weeks, Durant has offered second-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. With the Suns needing to go on a run to earn a play-in spot, they will lean on Durant and Devin Booker to lead the way.

The Bulls could be without two starters for Thursday’s game, as Giddey and Vucevic are questionable. Giddey needing to miss a game would likely result in more playing time for Dalen Terry, who has not been productive enough to merit being streamed in most leagues. As for Vucevic, Zach Collins or Jalen Smith would start if he’s unable to play. Either replacement for Vooch would be worth streaming.

White is considered probable for Thursday’s game, which suggests he will ultimately be available. That would be great for those rostering him, as the Bulls’ guard has been on an absolute heater over the past month. Look for White to take on his usual role as the team’s primary perimeter scorer.

Ball has not played since February 28, but that may change as soon as Thursday night. His absence opened up a place in the starting lineup for Tre Jones, who was recently sidelined by a sprained foot. Kevin Huerter has moved into the starting five, and his playing time will likely decrease if Ball returns.

According to Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer, Beal is progressing in his recovery from a strained hamstring. However, he has not done any 5-on-5 work, so the Suns’ guard will not play on Wednesday. Collin Gillespie has filled the void in the starting lineup, but he’s been more valuable to Phoenix than to fantasy managers. Also, Ryan Dunn’s fantasy ceiling has been raised, making him worth a look in deep leagues.

Richards was back in the Suns’ lineup after sitting out Friday’s win over the Cavaliers with a calf injury. While he wasn’t spectacular against the Bucks, Nick did record his ninth double-double since joining the Suns via trade. His return pushes Oso Ighodaro to the bench, with the rookie tallying four points, two rebounds and one steal in 19 minutes. Mason Plumlee, who also was available after missing Friday’s game, picked up a DNP-CD. While Richards hasn’t been a great fantasy option, he’s done enough to merit being rostered in deep leagues.

Booker did not have a great night shooting, as he missed all five of his three-point attempts. However, he made the game’s biggest shot, nailing a step-back jumper with just under two seconds remaining to give Phoenix the victory. If there has been an issue for Booker recently, it has been the inconsistent nature of his scoring. He’s failed to crack 20 points in three of his last six outings, averaging 23.4 per game. That’s more than two points lower than Booker’s season average. While the hit hasn’t significantly damaged the Suns’ guard’s fantasy value, managers hope to see Booker get untracked during his final three games of Week 21.

Durant has been on a tear recently, scoring 26 points or more in three straight games while shooting over 50 percent from the field in each. Seven three-pointers were included in his gaudy stat line on Monday, tying his season-high. Over the past week, Durant has provided top-5 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. And with the Suns playing three more games during Week 21 with no back-to-backs, this is an excellent time to have Durant rostered.

For the second time this month, Smith recorded a double-double in fewer than 20 minutes on the court. Stix only needed 15 minutes to get the job done in Denver, and his play factored into Zach Collins only playing four minutes. Starter Nikola Vucevic finished with 13 points, seven rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in 29 minutes. There isn’t a need to add Smith after this performance, especially with Vucevic still playing starters’ minutes.

Terry has reached double figures in four of his last six games, and the 14 points tallied on Monday were the most for him since February 24. However, this is not a good enough reason to justify adding him in any fantasy leagues. While Terry shot 4-of-4 from beyond the arc, reaching that number has not been the norm. Add in the lack of defensive stats, and there’s much more for Terry to do before he can be rostered.

Regarding fantasy value, the Bulls may have the hottest backcourt in the NBA over the past month. While Coby White has been a top-25 player, Giddey has been even better. Averaging 22.0 points, 9.9 rebounds, 9.5 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers per game, he’s ranked fourth in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. Giddey’s improved play comes at a great time for fantasy managers and himself, as he will be a restricted free agent this summer.

On the day he joined Michael Jordan as the only two players in Bulls history to win consecutive Player of the Week awards, White continued his hot streak in Denver. He’s scored 35 points or more in three straight games and 20 or more in 13 straight. Over the past month, White has provided top 25 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Monday’s effort helped the Bulls finish their six-game road trip with a 4-2 record. Chicago plays two more games during Week 21, starting with the Lakers on Thursday.

Richards and Plumlee are available for Monday’s game, with the former returning to the starting lineup. Oso Ighodaro will head to the bench, which eliminates what little streaming value he possessed. Who serves as Richards’ backup remains to be seen, with Oso offering a higher upside than Plumlee.

Neither Richards nor Plumlee was available for Friday’s win over the Cavaliers, resulting in rookie Oso Ighodaro moving into the starting lineup.

Based on the timeline provided at the time of his injury, Beal is due to be re-evaluated on Monday. However, he has already been ruled out for that night’s game against the Bucks.

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.

Ighodaro drew the start with Nick Richards (calf) a late scratch Friday. While the 22-year-old center has had better games, it was an encouraging performance. Ighodaro had 13 rebounds in a difficult matchup against Cleveland’s Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. He also played 44 minutes, which shows the Suns feel comfortable with him out there. His backup Bol Bol didn’t play at all. Ighodaro could have some real fantasy value if Richards’ injury were to linger.

Gillespie got another start with Grayson Allen (foot) out again Friday. While it appears Allen is close to returning, Gillespie had another solid game with 13 points and three three-pointers in 23 minutes.

Durant turned in a vintage performance Friday as he dropped 42 points on one of the best teams in the league.

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.
