Bulls coach Billy Donovan said before Saturday's game that he hoped to get all three new additions on the court. Jones and Kevin Huerter did play rotation minutes, but Zach Collins (DNP-CD) did not. In Jones' case, Lonzo Ball being out ensured he would have an opportunity to play. Between Ball's absence and the final stat line, there isn't much to gain from rostering Jones in fantasy leagues. The same can be said for Collins unless the Bulls decide to shut down Nikola Vucevic at some point.
The Bulls are without Lonzo Ball for Wednesday's game, as the matchup with Minnesota is Chicago's second game in as many nights. So, Buzelis will make his first career start after scoring 24 points on 10-of-10 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Heat. Not only is Matas worth streaming now, but he should have added value the rest of the season due to Chicago trading Zach LaVine.
Seven Bulls reached double figures on Wednesday, with White's 20 points leading the way. Over the past two weeks, he's offered 7th-round value in 8-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long value. Chicago is moving Zach LaVine to Sacramento, which frees up possessions for the team's young guards. This should benefit White if he remains on the roster after the trade deadline. His name has come up in rumors, but Chicago would likely be better served if they could move Nikola Vucevic instead.
Smith is back after sitting out Sunday's game against Detroit. His return means the Bulls will have a legitimate backup center after going small when Nikola Vucevic needed a break against the Pistons. Matas Buzelis and Julian Phillips will lose playing time, with the latter potentially falling out of the rotation entirely.
Vooch was in his bag Sunday, going 8-of-10 from the field and 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. The 10 dimes were a season high as he logged his sixth career triple-double. Sadly for Vucevic, the big man's season-best outing was spoiled by a Pistons victory, but fantasy managers won't care about the outcome of the game. Vooch has been a top-10 fantasy player in per-game value in 2024-25, and the 34-year-old has shown no signs of slowing down in the autumn years of his career.
