Smith logged 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 18 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 127-108 win over the Wizards. The nine boards were a season high for Smith. The fifth-year center hasn't seen his court time increase while Patrick Williams (foot) has been sidelined, but Smith has been more productive -- over the last three games he's scored in double digits twice while averaging 10.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.7 threes and 1.3 blocks in only 16.0 minutes a contest.

Smith logged 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 18 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 127-108 win over the Wizards. The nine boards were a season high for Smith. The fifth-year center hasn't seen his court time increase while Patrick Williams (foot) has been sidelined, but Smith has been more productive -- over the last three games he's scored in double digits twice while averaging 10.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.7 threes and 1.3 blocks in only 16.0 minutes a contest.
LaVine registered 18 points (6-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and four assists across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 127-108 victory over the Wizards. The veteran wing saw his streak of games with at least 25 points end at four, but LaVine still had another strong performance from long distance. Since missing about a week early in November with an adductor strain, LaVine has shot 43.5 percent (30-for-69) from beyond the arc while averaging 22.3 points, 4.7 assists, 4.2 boards, 3.0 threes and 0.8 steals in 10 contests.
White accumulated a team-high 21 points (7-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 127-108 win over the Wizards. The 24-year-old guard continues to fill up the bucket. White has drained multiple three-pointers in 11 straight games, averaging 19.3 points, 4.7 assists, 3.5 boards, 3.5 threes and 1.3 steals over that stretch while shooting 39.6 percent from beyond the arc. His shot volume is actually down slightly from last season now that Zach Lavine is healthy and Josh Giddey has replaced Alex Caruso, but if the Bulls can find a taker for LaVine in a trade, White's usage should rise.
Vucevic accumulated 19 points (9-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 127-108 victory over the Wizards. It's the 12th double-double in 19 games for Vucevic. The veteran center is on his way to another strong season, and he's been locked in of late from beyond the arc. Over the last seven contests, Vucevic is shooting 47.1 percent (16-for-34) from three-point range and 57.1 percent from the floor while averaging 20.0 points, 9.3 boards, 3.3 assists and 1.1 blocks.
Vucevic ended with 19 points (9-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds and four assists across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 127-108 win over the Wizards. The big man finished as the club's second-leading scorer behind Coby White (21) in a dominant victory. Moreover, Vucevic logged his 12th double-double through only 19 regular-season outings. The veteran center came a point shy of his 11th 20-point outing, and he has delivered a stellar season thus far. Vucevic has averaged 20.4 points, 9.8 rebounds. 3.2 assists and 0.9 blocks while shooting 58.4 percent from the field across 31.9 minutes per game. He has also shot an impressive 45.8 percent from beyond the arc.
Phillips (illness) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Wizards. Phillips has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday after missing Chicago's previous outing due to an illness. Phillips should continue to operate as a bench option in the Bulls' forward rotation.
Horton-Tucker (thumb) is available for Tuesday's game against the Wizards. As expected, Horton-Tucker has been upgraded from probable to available. With Patrick Williams (foot) still out, Horton-Tucker should see minutes off the bench against Washington.
Ball (wrist) is targeting a return to action Wednesday against the Magic, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Ball has been sidelined since Oct. 28 and suffered a small setback along the way. This update confirms that Ball won't take the floor Tuesday against the Wizards after carrying a doubtful tag on the injury report, but he was only going to play in one game of this back-to-back set at most given his restrictions which were set in stone prior to the season. If he does get the green light for Wednesday, it's fair to expect a modest workload in the early going.
