Dealing with tightness in his left hamstring, Dosunmu was under a minutes restriction on Monday. He made the most of his 26 minutes, surpassing the 20-point mark for the second time in four games and the fourth time this season. Rostered in 22 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Dosunmu is a top-100 player in nine-cat formats. The lone concern in the short term is his hamstring, especially with the Bulls having another back-to-back to end Week 5.

Despite tightness in his left hamstring, Dosumnu will play on Monday. However, his minutes will be restricted, as this is the second game the Bulls have played in as many nights. With Coby White out, there may be rotation minutes available to Jevon Carter or Dalen Terry, but neither is worth streaming on Monday.

Due to tightness in his left hamstring, Dosunmu is on the Bulls’ injury report for Monday night. The good news is that he’s considered probable, meaning that Ayo is closer to playing than sitting out. With Coby White (calf) not playing due to this being the Bulls’ second game in as many nights, Dosummu will have a higher fantasy ceiling if allowed to play.

Dosunmu recorded his third 20-point game of the season on Monday, helping pick up the slack offensively on a night when the Bulls did not have Josh Giddey (ankle). The former second-round pick may be rostered in less than 20 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but he is providing top-100 value in nine-cat formats. Dosunmu’s streaming value is dictated by the availability of Josh Giddey, who did not play on Monday due to a sprained ankle. If Giddey can’t play against the Pistons on Wednesday, don’t hesitate to consider Dosunmu in deep leagues, even if he doesn’t start.

Dosunmu was initially listed as probable after playing 20 minutes on Friday night. Bulls coach Billy Donovan said Dosunmu will remain on a minutes restriction, but it shouldn’t last much longer beyond Saturday’s game.

Dosunmu missed Tuesday’s game against the 76ers with a quad injury. The 25-year-old shooting guard returned Friday night against the Bucks and had seven points and three assists in 20 minutes. The Bulls want to avoid giving Dosunmu heavy minutes while he’s still dealing with the quad injury and that lowers his fantasy ceiling.

Dosunmu is available after missing Tuesday’s win over the 76ers with a quad injury. However, he will be limited to 24 minutes on Friday, which lowers Dosunmu’s fantasy ceiling. Dalen Terry may pick up a few minutes off the bench, but he is not worth rostering in fantasy leagues.

Dosunmu practiced on Thursday after Chicago’s last two games, which is a positive sign for his chances of playing against Milwaukee. If he does return, Dalen Terry and Jevon Carter will be pushed back out of the rotation after playing small roles over the past two games.

The 25-year-old did not play on Tuesday against the 76ers while nursing a quad injury, but he does seem to be on track to return on Thursday. He’s averaged 16.2 points, 3.2 assists, and 3.0 rebounds per game off the Bulls’ bench, so his return would certainly be a welcome one. Dalen Terry and Jevon Carter have taken on extra minutes with Dosunmu out but will be pushed out of the rotation when Dosunmu returns.

Dosunmu has been the Bulls’ best player off the bench thus far, so not having him available will be impactful. Jevon Carter may pick up additional rotation minutes, but is unlikely to get the opportunities needed to impact fantasy basketball. Leave him on the waiver wire.

Dosunmu will miss Sunday’s game with a left quad contusion. That’s bad news for the undefeated Bulls, as he torched the Knicks for 22 points and nine assists in Friday’s win in Chicago. Julian Phillips is active for Sunday’s rematch, but he’s unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball. Patrick Williams isn’t a “safe” streaming choice, but his role should expand with Dosunmu unavailable.

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.

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.

Dosunmu and Okoro were dealing with nagging injuries toward the end of the preseason, but both have been given a clean bill of health for Wednesday’s opener. While the former offers a higher fantasy ceiling, the latter may be part of the starting lineup due to his defensive ability. If Okoro starts, expect to see him spend most of his time guarding Cade Cunningham.

For a second consecutive preseason game, Dosunmu came off the bench and logged a productive offensive outing. In Thursday’s win, he led all Bulls players in field goal attempts and points in his 22 minutes, despite shooting 25.0 percent from beyond the arc. Dosunmu had a strong 2024-25 season when he was healthy and available to play. He looks to be in line for another solid campaign in his fifth NBA season.

Reports from July suggested Dosunmu would be ready for the start of camp after his season ended early in March. With Josh Giddey now under contract, Dosunmu will likely start the year in a reserve role, though he will still play a significant role. It’s good to see him healthy at this point, even if he won’t make much of a fantasy impact, barring an injury to someone in front of him on the depth chart.

Dosunmu underwent left shoulder surgery in March and was given a recovery timeline of four to six months. According to Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune, the Bulls guard said at a recent charity event that he’s feeling good and expects to be a full go when training camp opens in late September. “I feel great,” Dosunmu said, according to the Tribune. “I feel right on schedule if not ahead. I’m just excited for these next couple of months to really get in even better shape and be able to go out there.” He was cleared for full contact in July and will factor into Chicago’s rotation as a starter or as the first guard off the bench. Dosunmu offered 11th-round value in nine-cat formats when healthy and will be worth grabbing with a late-round pick in standard leagues.

On March 2, it was announced that Dosunmu would undergo season-ending surgery to address instability in his left shoulder. The procedure hasn’t occurred yet, but the Bulls guard is facing a lengthy recovery period. Dosunmu’s absence means more playing time for Dalen Terry, who has yet to establish himself as a player worthy of consistent rotation minutes.

Dosunmu was having a healthy February before he suffered a shoulder injury against the Knicks. He returned from a three-game absence for one contest before shutting down for the year to undergo surgery. Lonzo Ball appears set to take on a featured role as a starter for the rest of the regular season with Dosunmu out of the picture.

Dosunmu made his return from a three-game absence on Friday and was able to play 23 minutes off the bench. However, the same left shoulder will keep him on the sidelines for Indiana’s next game. Kevin Huerter (knee) and Tre Jones should see extra minutes off the bench with Dosunmu out.

Dosunmu and Smith have missed the Bulls’ last three games. While the former’s return will likely mean fewer minutes for Dalen Terry and Tre Jones, the latter may not be as impactful in fantasy basketball circles. Zach Collins should remain the starter as the Bulls continue without the injured Nikola Vucevic. That limits Smith’s fantasy potential, although he will get rotation minutes.

Dosunmu has missed three straight but has a chance to return against the Raptors. If he’s unable to go, Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter could help to pick up the slack.

Initially questionable, Dosunmu still has soreness in his shoulder and will miss a third straight game. His absence has freed up additional minutes for Kevin Huerter and Tre Jones. While the latter can provide assists and a low turnover count, Huerter offers a higher ceiling in the points and three-point categories.
