Vucevic had another strong showing despite the game's final outcome. The veteran big man finished just two rebounds away from recording what would've been his eighth double-double this month alone. Vucevic has scored at least 20 points in 10 of his 18 appearances this season.

Vucevic totaled 26 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Saturday's 142-131 loss to the Grizzlies. Vucevic had another strong showing despite the game's final outcome. The veteran big man finished just two rebounds away from recording what would've been his eighth double-double this month alone. Vucevic has scored at least 20 points in 10 of his 18 appearances this season.
LaVine racked up 29 points (10-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 142-131 loss to the Grizzlies. LaVine had an efficient shooting performance, but given how good the veteran has looked this season in that department, that shouldn't surprise many fantasy managers. LaVine has scored at least 25 points in four games in a row, representing his longest streak of the season reaching that tally.
Buzelis recorded 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 29 minutes during Saturday's 142-131 loss to the Grizzlies. Buzelis scored in double digits just for the second time this season, and this was the rookie's best scoring mark of the campaign. As good as he looked Saturday, Buzelis' playing time has been inconsistent, and he's played more than 15 minutes just five times all season long. That's enough reason to avoid rostering Buzelis in most formats, as he doesn't see enough time to be a valuable fantasy contributor in most formats.
Smith (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies. Smith was deemed questionable for this matchup earlier Saturday, but he'll suit up and will be available off the bench. Smith is averaging 14.6 minutes off the bench per game in November, so his availability isn't expected to affect many fantasy lineups.
Phillips (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports. Phillips will miss his first game of the 2024-25 regular season due to an illness, and his next chance to suit up will be Tuesday against the Wizards. Torrey Craig and Matas Buzelis are candidates to see increased playing time Saturday with Phillips sidelined.
Phillips is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies due to an upper respiratory illness. Phillips is in danger of missing his first contest of the season Saturday due to an illness. If the 21-year-old forward is unable to suit up, Torrey Craig and Matas Buzelis are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Sanogo (knee) won't play in Saturday's game against the Grizzlies. Sanogo suffered a right knee injury Tuesday during a G League game and hasn't suited up for the Bulls since. While Sanogo hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Nov. 11, he could have been a rotation piece Saturday as Jalen Smith (ankle) is labeled as questionable. Sanogo's next chance to play will come Tuesday at Washington, the first leg of a back-to-back set.
Smith is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies due to a sprained left ankle. Smith played 15 minutes in Friday's victory over Atlanta, but it appears he picked up an injury during the contest. If he can't play, E.J. Liddell and Torrey Craig could see more action.
