Nikola Vucevic

After playing 21 and 19 minutes in his first two appearances of the season, Collins logged 20 minutes on Friday. While the production was good, the true attention-grabber was the fact that he was part of the Bulls' closing lineup, with starting center Nikola Vucevic (13/3/4 with one block and one three-pointer in 22 minutes) watching from the bench despite not being in foul trouble. With Jalen Smith (5/10/1/1/1 with one three-pointer) playing 17 minutes and sharing the court with Collins at times, this is a position to monitor in the short term. Chicago sticking with this setup would make Collins worthy of a look in deep leagues.

Okoro is back and will make his first appearance in a game since November 21. While his return means that Ayo Dosunmu will head back to the bench, Okoro will be restricted to 20 minutes. Those who have Dosunmu on their fantasy rosters should hold onto him for that reason.

Smith is back in the Bulls' rotation after missing five games with a strained left hamstring. He will be limited to 20 minutes, but the presence of starter Nikola Vucevic and Zach Collins would have made it difficult for Smith to hit that number without a restriction. Fantasy managers can afford to leave him on the waiver wire.

Collins is good to go after the Bulls listed him as probable on the initial injury report. He'll slot in as the backup center, with Nikola Vucevic playing most of the available minutes as the starter.

Dosunmu is available after missing Friday's loss to the Pacers with a thumb injury. He immediately moves back into the starting lineup, with Julian Phillips being pushed to the bench. That's the lone change to the Bulls' starting five.
