Bulls' Adama Sanogo: Ruled out for Wednesday
Sanogo (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Hawks.
Sanogo is not a rotation player for the Bulls, so his absence doesn't carry many fantasy implications. His next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Hornets.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Questionable for Wednesday
Dosunmu (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Hawks.
Dosunmu, who has missed the past 10 games for Chicago, has been targeting this game for his return. Coach Billy Donovan previously indicated that the guard will have a minutes restriction in his first game back, but it sounds like he's still waiting on the official green light to suit up. Lonzo Ball (rest) and Coby White (neck) are also questionable for this contest.

Bulls' Coby White: Questionable for Wednesday
White (neck) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
White returned from a one-game absence Tuesday versus the Pelicans, fishing with 22 points (8-17 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes. With the questionable designation, it's possible the Bulls want to see how his neck responded to the workload before determining his status for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Lonzo Ball (rest) and Ayo Dosunmu (calf) are also carrying questionable tags for this contest.

Bulls' Lonzo Ball: Listed as questionable
Ball (injury management) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
This is a big surprise, as there's been no report of Ball being cleared for back-to-back sets -- he played 25 minutes Tuesday against the Pelicans and finished with 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt), eight rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block. Coby White (neck) and Ayo Dosunmu (calf) are also questionable for the Bulls, making this a situation to monitor closely ahead of tipoff.

Bulls' Lonzo Ball: Slated to rest after big game
Ball will be held out of Wednesday's game against the Hawks for left knee injury management purposes after playing 25 minutes in Tuesday's 119-113 loss to the Pelicans, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Ball has experienced no setbacks this season in his return from the left knee injury that required three separate operations and cost him the entire 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, but he's still likely to be held out of one half of back-to-back sets throughout the campaign. The Bulls are slowly loosening the reins on Ball's playing-time restriction, however; he's played 20-plus minutes in seven of the past eight contests, including at least 24 minutes in both of the past two contests. Though he was back on the bench Tuesday with Coby White (neck) returning from a one-game absence, Ball produced a fantasy-friendly line with 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt), eight rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block. If he continues to hold steady at around 25 minutes in his future appearances, Ball will be worthy of a flier in most 12-team leagues where he's available on the waiver wire.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Sniffs triple-double Tuesday
Giddey had seven points (2-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, 12 assists, one block and four steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 119-113 loss to the Pelicans.
The fourth-year guard came within a three-pointer of his 14th career triple-double. Giddey has been making a bigger impact on the glass since returning from an ankle injury in late December, averaging 11.4 points, 10.2 boards, 6.7 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.2 threes over his last nine games, but his offensive impact has been muted by 39.0 percent shooting from the floor and a 31.4 percent mark from long distance. The Bulls could deal away veterans like Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic at the trade deadline, but they'll need Giddey's efficiency to improve if he's going to emerge as one of the foundation pieces of the roster afterward.

Bulls' Coby White: Pops for 22 in Tuesday's loss
White accumulated 22 points (8-17 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 119-113 loss to the Pelicans.
The 24-year-old guard's production has taken a small step back after his 2023-24 breakout, but only due to a slight drop in shot volume. White has scored in double digits in 16 straight appearances since the beginning of December, averaging 18.9 points, 4.8 assists, 3.0 boards, 2.8 threes and 0.9 steals over that stretch, and if the Bulls find takers for veterans like Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic ahead of the trade deadline, White could see his usage skyrocket.

Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Double-double against Pels
Vucevic provided 22 points (10-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 119-113 loss to the Pelicans.
It was the 25th double-double of the season for the veteran center, tying him for sixth in the NBA. Vucevic's shooting has been a little erratic of late, but over his last 14 games, he's still averaging 18.9 points, 11.0 boards, 3.4 assists and 1.7 threes. If the Bulls totally clean house ahead of the February trade deadline, Vucevic figures to be one of the prime trade assets they have.

Bulls' Zach LaVine: Leading scorer in Tuesday's loss
LaVine amassed a team-high 25 points (10-22 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 119-113 loss to the Pelicans.
The veteran wing saw his streak of games with at least 30 points end at six, but LaVine still delivered a strong performance. He's drained multiple three-pointers in all seven of those contests, averaging 32.1 points, 5.9 boards, 4.9 assists, 3.3 threes and 1.0 steals during that blistering stretch while shooting 56.2 percent from the floor and 48.9 percent from beyond the arc. LaVine is doing everything he can to boost his trade value as he gets shopped around once again by the 18-22 Bulls.

Bulls' Lonzo Ball: Slides back to bench Tuesday
Ball will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against New Orleans.
With Coby White (neck) returning to game action, Ball will retreat to the bench. The 27-year-old got the spot start in Sunday's loss to the Kings, during which he chipped in 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three assists, one rebound and one block across 26 minutes. Ball will suit up in the first leg of the team's back-to-back set Tuesday, though he'll be sidelined for Wednesday's game against Atlanta, per Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune.

Bulls' Lonzo Ball: Will play first of back-to-back
Ball will play Tuesday against New Orleans but will sit out of Wednesday's matchup with Atlanta, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Ball is still a ways away from playing in both games of back-to-backs, but he is getting closer. Ball missed 15 games due to a wrist injury this season and is still in the process of returning from a knee injury he suffered a couple of seasons ago, but he tied his season high in minutes (26) and made a season-high five threes in Sunday's game against Sacramento, showing encouraging signs of approaching full recovery.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Out Tuesday, should play Wednesday
Dosunmu (calf) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Pelicans, but Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said that Dosunmu is expected to play in Wednesday's contest against the Hawks, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Dosunmu will miss his 10th straight contest Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to a right soleus strain. While Dosunmu will likely return to action against Atlanta on Wednesday, it wouldn't be surprising for him to operate on a minutes restriction.

Bulls' Coby White: Gets green light Tuesday
White (neck) is available for Tuesday's game against New Orleans, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
White sat out Sunday's loss to the Kings due to a neck strain, though he'll return to game action on Tuesday. There is no indication that the star guard will operate under a minutes restriction. Over his last five outings, he has averaged 21.4 points, 4.8 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 31.8 minutes per contest.

Bulls' Adama Sanogo: Won't play against Pelicans
Sanogo (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Right knee injury management will keep Sanogo out Tuesday, and his next chance to return comes during the second part of Chicago's back-to-back Wednesday against the Hawks. Jalen Smith should continue to have the backup center gig all to himself behind starter Nikola Vucevic for the Bulls against New Orleans.

Bulls' Coby White: Iffy for Tuesday
White (neck) is questionable to play Tuesday against the Pelicans.
White did not play Sunday versus Sacramento due to his neck strain, and his status Tuesday is in jeopardy. His backup, Ayo Dosunmu, is also questionable due to a calf injury, meaning Lonzo Ball may start again if White can't go.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Listed as questionable for Tuesday
Dosunmu (calf) is officially listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Dosunmu appears to be on the precipice of returning to Chicago's lineup after suffering a right calf strain in late December. If the 24-year-old doesn't suit up Tuesday, fantasy managers can have an eye on him returning during the second leg of the Bulls' back-to-back Wednesday against the Hawks. There hasn't been a direct beneficiary of Dosunmu's absence, but Josh Giddey and Zach LaVine could be required to handle the lion's share of the ball-handling duties if both Dosunmu and Coby White (neck) are sidelined against New Orleans.

Bulls' Torrey Craig: Out at least two weeks
The Bulls announced Monday that Craig (lower leg) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Craig has missed the Bulls' first six games of January due to a right lower leg contusion, and he apparently hasn't made enough progress in his recovery for the Bulls to view him as day-to-day. The forward has largely been outside of the Chicago rotation throughout the season, appearing in just nine contests while averaging 6.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.2 steals and 0.1 blocks across 12.4 minutes.
