Smith (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers. Smith was a late addition to the injury report which usually isn't a great sign. He's been solid for the Bulls this season, averaging 8.9 points and 5.2 rebounds in 14.6 minutes through nine games. If he's unable to play, the Bulls could potentially use some smaller lineups.

Latest Bulls News
Jalen Smith : Iffy for Monday
Smith (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers. Smith was a late addition to the injury report which usually isn't a great sign. He's been solid for the Bulls this season, averaging 8.9 points and 5.2 rebounds in 14.6 minutes through nine games. If he's unable to play, the Bulls could potentially use some smaller lineups.
Torrey Craig : Not listed on injury report
Craig (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Cavaliers. Craig is expected to suit up Monday after missing two straight games due to an illness. However, he's made only two appearances this season, totaling six minutes, so his presence shouldn't change Chicago's rotation.
Zach LaVine : Probable for Monday
LaVine (adductor) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers. LaVine had missed three games due to a right adductor strain, but he returned to the lineup for Saturday's 125-113 win over the Hawks and finished with 18 points, seven assists, two rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes. Unless he suffers a setback with the adductor leading up to Monday's 8 p.m. ET tipoff, he should be in the clear to play a normal minutes load.
Josh Giddey : Stuffs stat sheet Saturday
Giddey ended with 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Saturday's 125-113 win over Atlanta. Giddey had a strong performance on both ends of the court, and as has been the trend with him since moving to Chicago, he's stuffing the stat sheet admirably. Giddey has scored in double digits in all but one of his appearances in 2024-25 while also posting solid numbers as a playmaker, rebounder and on-ball defender. Giddey will remain valuable in fantasy as long as he can keep racking up stats left and right, even though he shares the court with two high-usage players, Zach LaVine and Coby White, on a regular basis. Giddey's ability to stuff the stat sheet is critical for his upside.
Zach LaVine : Scores 18 points in return
LaVine accumulated 18 points (7-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 125-113 victory over the Hawks. The scoring figure wasn't eye-popping by any means, but LaVine was efficient with this shot -- despite his woes from three-point range -- and didn't look rusty after missing Chicago's previous three contests. The seven assists were a positive sign as well, and they represented a season-high mark in that category by a wide margin. LaVine should remain a solid fantasy contributor across all formats as long as he stays healthy, although most of his fantasy upside will be tied to what he can do as a scorer even if he delivers solid numbers in other categories from time to time.
Nikola Vucevic : Strong double-double Saturday
Vucevic closed Saturday's 125-113 victory over the Hawks with 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 31 minutes. Vucevic came up short from reaching the 20-point mark for the seventh time in the current campaign, but the big man accomplished more than just scoring. This was his eighth double-double in 10 appearances, and the veteran has been one of the best two-way big men in the early stages of the 2024-25 season.
Ayo Dosunmu : Retreats to bench Saturday
Dosunmu is not in the Bulls' starting lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta. Dosunmu has started in each of the Bulls' last three games, which has coincided with Zach LaVine's absence due to a thigh injury. With LaVine returning for Saturday's game, Dosunmu will return to the bench. Across his three starts, Dosunmu averaged 14.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists over 31.0 minutes per game.
Jalen Smith : Will play Saturday
Smith (knee) is available for Saturday's game against Atlanta. Smith has been dealing with a left knee injury since late October, but he will continue to play through the issue. Over his last four outings, Smith has averaged 6.0 points and 4.8 rebounds over 15.3 minutes per game while coming off the bench.
