Dosunmu scored 11 points in his debut for Minnesota on Sunday, and 24 hours after, he was able to showcase why he’ll make a big difference for the Timberwolves this season. He’s an excellent depth guard, especially on the defensive end, but it was the offensive impact in this game that was impressive. Dosunmu should be the primary guard option off the bench, which should lead to some decent production for fantasy managers, though his upside will be capped as a reserve.

As expected, Dosunmu was part of the Timberwolves’ bench rotation in his first appearance on Sunday. And his 25 minutes led the Timberwolves reserves, one more than Naz Reid. Things could change somewhat once the Timberwolves re-sign Mike Conley, but Ayo should not struggle for playing time. Unfortunately, not much has changed regarding his fantasy value. While Dosunmu is worth rostering in 14-team leagues, his value in 12-team leagues is low unless his team is shorthanded on the perimeter.

Dosunmu spent the first 4.5 seasons of his career in his hometown of Chicago after playing three seasons at Illinois, so this will be quite the fresh start for him. Minnesota has lacked a reliable point guard this season, and they just traded Mike Conley this week. Dosunmu may not start, but he should be one of the primary options off the bench and spend a ton of time on the floor as a lead ball handler. With Dillingham included in the deal, Bones Hyland and Jaylen Clark will be the other point guards in Minnesota.

Dosunmu had 17 points and eight assists in 28 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Bucks. The 26-year-old point guard is on the injury report as questionable with some quad soreness for Thursday’s game against the Raptors. A coveted asset in Chicago’s suddenly crowded backcourt, Dosunmu missing a game this week is going to lead to trade speculation. Yuki Kawamura could be in line for a showcase game if Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Dosunmu sit out.

Dosunmu’s late scoring barrage, which included baskets on four straight possessions in the final three minutes, helped Chicago stave off a late rally from Miami. The speedy 26-year-old guard has been excellent of late, averaging 18.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.5 blocks across eight games over the past two weeks. The Bulls have a three-game week coming up that features matchups against the Bucks, Raptors and Nuggets.

After scoring just four points in the first half, Dosunmu had an outstanding second half for the Bulls. Inserted into the lineup due to Jalen Smith’s early exit with right calf tightness, Dosunmu scored 19 points in the second half, shooting 6-of-9 from the field. Add in the rebounds and assists, and the Bulls’ guard provided excellent value in his 31 minutes. Dosunmu’s role for Saturday’s rematch in Miami depends on the availability of Smith and Josh Giddey (hamstring), with the latter not playing on Thursday. If both sit, Ayo will be worth streaming.

Dosunmu followed a strong outing in the loss to the Lakers with another productive game on Wednesday, despite his contributions coming in a loss. In 29 minutes of game action, he was both aggressive and efficient with his shot, tallying nearly 20 points on the evening. Poor three-point shooting ultimately held him back. Yet, Dosunmu was solid as a rebounder and passer in this contest, which isn’t always the case. He put together a nice line off the bench and is capable of logging another on Thursday against the Heat.

Dosunmu continues to be instant offense off the bench for the Bulls. The 25-year-old point guard only played 20 minutes against the Nets, but had 18 points in a relatively low-scoring game. Dosunmu had only one assists, but he’d had at least five assists in six of his last nine games entering play Friday. He’s provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks with Josh Giddey (hamstring) out.

Donsunmu bounced back from an unspectacular performance against the Rockets to put up some solid numbers in a winning effort against the Jazz on Wednesday. The fifth-year guard scored efficiently and was impactful with his playmaking against Utah to finish as one of Chicago’s top scorers and assisters. The double-figure scoring performances marked the sixth of January for Dosunmu, who continues to have one of his best seasons as a pro.

For the first time this season, Dosunmu has scored at least 20 points in consecutive games. His overall stat line was excellent, with the Bulls’ guard having an efficient night at the office. Add in the assists and steals, and this was a good way for Dosunmu to end Week 12. The Bulls begin a four-game Week 13 with a back-to-back on Tuesday and Wednesday. How high Dosunmu’s fantasy ceiling is depends partly on the availability of Josh Giddey (hamstring), who should be re-evaluated soon, per the timeline provided at the time of his injury.

The Bulls did not have Coby White or Josh Giddey for Wednesday’s game, and that usually results in a higher ceiling for Dosunmu. He didn’t start against Detroit, but the reserve guard shot 66.7 percent from the field and led the way offensively for Chicago. Rostered in 23 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been a top-100 player over the past two weeks. Dosunmu is worth holding onto until the Bulls’ perimeter rotation returns to full strength.

Dosunmu got hot early on in this one, taking advantage of his opportunity with primary creators Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Coby White (calf) out of action, draining 6-of-7 from the floor to pour in 14 first-half points. He went silent down the home stretch, totaling just two points in the second half. The 25-year-old speedster should see an uptick in minutes and scoring opportunities for at least a couple additional games while Giddey and White are out.

The Bulls will also have Jalen Smith (quad) as the team brings in a fully healthy roster for just the second time this season. Dosunmu could see some additional run after logging only 14 minutes in his return from a three-game absence on Friday, and White should see his usual allotment of minutes. Smith is likely in line for 10-15 minutes off the bench backing up Nikola Vucevic with Zach Collins.

Dosunmu is back after missing three games due to injuries to both thumbs. His return will likely result in fewer minutes for Kevin Huerter, who is a deep-league option at best when the Bulls are close to full strength. Dalen Terry may fall out of the rotation entirely, even with Dosunmu limited to 24 minutes.

Initially considered questionable, Dosunmu will miss a third straight game due to injuries to both thumbs. Kevin Huerter should figure more prominently in the Bulls’ rotation, but he isn’t worth the risk in most fantasy leagues when coming off the bench.

Dosunmu has missed the last two games, but participated in the Bulls’ shootaround Tuesday. The 25-year-old point guard had both of his thumbs taped as he explained to reporters that he has a bone bruise on his right thumb and a grade-one strain on his left thumb. Dosunmu was otherwise in good spirits and hopes to play Wednesday. Kevin Huerter will continue filling in if Dosunmu is ruled out.

Dosunmu will miss a second straight game with a sprained right thumb, leaving the Bulls down an option on the perimeter. Isaac Okoro, who is starting after returning from a lumbar injury, and Patrick Williams will absorb the minutes that would have gone to Dosunmu. Neither player should be considered a must-roster in most fantasy leagues.

Dosunmu has missed two of Chicago’s last three games, and it appears likely that he’ll miss a third on Sunday. Isaac Okoro’s return from a back injury gave Chicago a boost on Friday, and Patrick Williams also played well in the win over the Hornets. However, neither player is worth the risk in most fantasy leagues, especially with Okoro’s playing time being restricted.

Bulls head coach Billy Donovan confirmed that neither Ayo Dosunmu nor Kevin Huerter will travel to Charlotte for Friday’s game. Dosunmu returned to action on Sunday after missing one game with his thumb injury, but then he was unable to practice on Monday and will now miss Friday’s game. It remains to be seen how much longer he will miss. With Tre Jones also out, Jevon Carter has seen an uptick in playing time.

Bulls coach Billy Donovan said it was a non-contact practice, but Dosunmu didn’t participate. Dosunmu also went to a doctor after Sunday night’s loss because his thumb was bothering him. He already missed one game with the sprained thumb, so it’s possible he aggravated the injury. More updates should be provided closer to Chicago’s next game, which isn’t until Friday.

Dosunmu did not play in Friday’s loss to the Pacers, freeing up rotation minutes for Jevon Carter and Dalen Terry. While the former hit four three-pointers and scored 14 points, neither player is worth the streaming risk in most leagues, especially since Coby White is on track to play.

Dosunmu played 36 minutes while replacing Coby White in the starting lineup Wednesday, but he’ll sit out with White returning to the starting lineup against the Pacers on Friday.

Dosunmu is dealing with a sprained thumb on his right (shooting) hand. Due to the absences of multiple players, he has taken on an expanded role within the Bulls’ rotation, providing reliable late-round value whether he starts or comes off the bench. With Kevin Huerter out and Tre Jones doubtful, Dosunmu will again figure prominently in the rotation if he plays.
