After missing Sacramento’s last three games, Monk made his return to the rotation on Thursday. He was listed as a starter and even announced as one in the arena, but he ended up coming off the bench, with Keon Ellis remaining in the starting lineup. Ellis ended up playing 31 minutes to Monk’s 17 and contributing 10 points, three rebounds, two assists, six steals, one block and two triples. It’s unclear if Ellis will continue to start, or if Monk is still getting his conditioning back after dealing with an illness. This is a situation worth keeping an eye on.

This game was all about buckets for LaVine, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing at this point. Outside of the two rebounds he grabbed, he didn’t contribute any non-points value for fantasy managers. However, he scored less than 20 points in each of Sacramento’s last four games, and he was incredibly efficient with his shot on Thursday. Sure, it would be nice if he did more than score, but he won’t put up goose eggs in nearly every other category like he did in this game often. He’ll look to keep the offense flowing during their upcoming six-game road trip against Eastern Conference teams, which starts in Orlando on Saturday.

Sabonis was quiet against Oklahoma City on Tuesday as a scorer, but he continues to be a dominant force on the glass. Through his first three games back after the ankle injury that forced him to miss three games, Sabonis has averaged 16 boards. Unfortunately, he has missed nine games since the All-Star break and has exited early from two of the games that he played in. That helps explain why this was Sabonis’ highest-scoring night since February 13. He’ll look to stay hot in Orlando on Saturday to wrap up the week.

He wasn’t able to keep his streak of 35-point games alive, but this was another spectacular showing for one of the hottest players in basketball. He scored 15 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter, including a triple with six seconds left in the game that gave Chicago a lead after they trailed by 18 points earlier in the period. White has provided top-25 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks with averages of 29.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 3.4 triples per game, and he’ll look to stay hot against the Mavericks on Saturday.

Huerter rebounded from Monday’s nine-point performance in a big way on Thursday. He reached 20 points for the second time in Chicago’s last four games, and after only hitting one triple over their two previous games, Huerter knocked down five of them as the Bulls won their fourth-straight game. Huerter also hit the 1,000th three-pointer of his career, which is a special milestone for the 26-year-old sharpshooter. He’ll look to carry this momentum into a matchup with Dallas on Saturday to wrap up the week.

What a night it was for Giddey. Chicago has played the Lakers twice in their last three games, and Giddey has recorded a triple-double in both. He helped them storm back from an 18-point deficit early in the fourth, but he airballed a floater with 12 seconds left, which allowed the Lakers to take a five-point lead after a pair of free throws. However, a well-drawn play from Billy Donovan and a steal from Giddey allowed them to quickly take a lead with a pair of three-pointers. Giddey still had to put together one more magical moment after an Austin Reaves layup, and he was able to drill a shot from halfcourt over LeBron James at the buzzer to give Chicago the win. Giddey ranks in the top ten in nine-cat over the past two months and has truly bounced back after a disastrous final season in Oklahoma City.

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.

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.

Ball has not played since February 28, but that may change as soon as Thursday night.

DeRozan’s streak of seven consecutive games with 20 points or more came to a screeching halt on Tuesday. The 10 points were the fewest since December 22, when he scored a season-low two in a loss to the Pacers. The good news for fantasy managers is that DeRozan recorded decent numbers in the rebound and assist categories, minimizing some of the damage done by a 4-of-15 night from the field. Over the past two weeks, DeRozan has offered 11th-round value in eight-cat formats, four rounds worse than what he’s done for the season.

LaVine’s seven assists were the most he’s recorded in a game since February 13, when he racked up ten in an overtime loss to the Pelicans. However, the scoring output has taken a hit, with the veteran guard averaging 16.4 points per game over the past two weeks. With LaVine providing limited defensive value, a decrease in scoring impacts his fantasy value more than it would players who bring more to the table. Over the past two weeks, he has offered 14th-round value in eight-cat formats.

Having taken a back seat offensively for most of this season, Murray had a big night on Tuesday. He established new season-highs with 28 points and nine three-pointers. Add in the rebounds and defensive stats, and Tuesday was an excellent night for Murray managers. Over the past two weeks, he has provided fourth-round value in nine-cat formats. While Murray has to be rostered in most leagues, his fantasy ceiling has been lowered by the presence of Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan in the Kings’ lineup.

With Malik Monk (illness) sidelined for a second-straight game, Ellis was able to remain in the starting unit. He was once again able to provide a strong, well-rounded stat line while playing significant minutes. Ellis is more than capable of being a fantasy stud, but when everyone in Sacramento is healthy, he gets stuck in a reserve role. That may work for Sacramento, but it limits his upside for fantasy managers. This was the first night of a back-to-back, so if Monk remain out against the Thunder on Tuesday, Ellis may hold streaming value for another game.

Sabonis was initially expected to miss at least three more games with this ankle injury, but he was able to suit up after missing just three games. Of course, he got right back to work and recorded his 52nd double-double of the season. He achieved that mark before halftime, though it wasn’t enough for Sacramento to get the win. Sabonis has had one of the best seasons of his career, though his numbers have taken a hit in the second half of the season. Hopefully he can close out the season by continuing to dominate the glass like he did on Monday.

On a night where DeRozan’s shot wasn’t falling, he still found a way to make an impact. This was his second double-double of the season, with both coming in the month of March. Despite the rough shooting night, DeRozan was still able to extend his 20-point streak to seven games, though Sacramento has now dropped three in a row and seven of their last nine. DeRozan will keep on doing his thing, but they’ll need him to be more efficient than he was in this game to snap their losing streak.

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.

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.
