Horton-Tucker chipped in 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Monday's 122-121 victory over the Raptors. Despite struggling with his outside shot, Horton-Tucker's 15 points were his most scored in a game since Nov. 29. The 24-year-old guard has displayed impressive efficiency this season, shooting 54.5 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from three.

Bulls Injury Report
Horton-Tucker chipped in 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Monday's 122-121 victory over the Raptors. Despite struggling with his outside shot, Horton-Tucker's 15 points were his most scored in a game since Nov. 29. The 24-year-old guard has displayed impressive efficiency this season, shooting 54.5 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from three.
Buzelis registered seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 13 minutes during Monday's 122-121 victory over the Raptors. Despite Zach LaVine (back) missing Monday's contest, Buzelis saw his fewest minutes since Nov. 29. Over his last six appearances, the rookie has averaged 9.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.3 blocks in 19.3 minutes per game. However, with Patrick Williams back in action and LaVine not expected to miss significant time, Buzelis' role may continue to shrink.
Phillips produced 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one block and one steal in 12 minutes during Monday's 122-121 victory over Toronto. With Zach LaVine (back) sidelined and Josh Giddey (ankle) leaving the contest early, Phillips tied his season high with 10 points, a mark he hadn't reached since Nov. 9. Phillips' role has been inconsistent this season, but he gets minutes when the Bulls are shorthanded, though he hasn't produced enough to be relevant in standard fantasy leagues.
Vucevic finished Monday's 122-121 win over Toronto with 24 points (10-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 32 minutes. With Zach LaVine (back) sidelined, Vucevic embraced a more significant role on offense Monday, and the big man responded by posting his 14th appearance with at least 20 points in the current campaign. Vucevic has been very efficient of late and shows no signs of slowing down. Over his last five appearances, Vucevic is averaging 22.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 63.2 percent from the floor in that span.
Dosunmu notched 12 points (5-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Monday's 122-121 win over the Raptors. Dosunmu didn't have his best shooting performance, as he ended with more field-goal attempts than points scored, but he salvaged his outing by posting a loaded still line and at least one tally in each of the five major categories. Dosunmu has started 11 games in a row for Chicago and has posted excellent numbers, averaging 15.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game in that stretch.
White supplied 19 points (5-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 122-121 victory over Toronto. White's final stat line looked good on the surface, as he surpassed the 15-point mark for the third time across his last four appearances while also contributing in other categories. However, the lack of efficiency remains an issue for the former UNC standout. Since returning from a two-game absence in early December due to an ankle injury, White is averaging 17.3 points, 5.0 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, but he's also shooting a meager 34.8 percent from the floor and 30.8 percent from three-point range.
Giddey won't return to Monday's game against the Raptors after suffering a right ankle injury, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports. He registered 11 points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one block in 24 minutes before exiting. The team has yet to comment on the severity of Giddey's injury, though more information should come to light over the next day or so after imaging has taken place. Giddey's absence will free up more minutes for Lonzo Ball, Ayo Dosunmu and Talen Horton-Tucker the rest of the way Monday.
Giddey went to the locker room during Monday's game against the Raptors due to an apparent ankle injury, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Giddey exited the game halfway through the third quarter after appearing to roll his ankle on a closeout of an opposing shooter. He'll be taken to the back for additional testing to determine whether a return is on the table Monday.
