| Thu Apr 2 | 19:30 | Josh Giddey Could Sit Again Friday |
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks, and his status could again affect the Bulls' backcourt rotation. Giddey missed Wednesday's contest, opening the door for Collin Sexton to post 18 points with one three-pointer, three rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block across 26 minutes. Sexton is averaging 20.4 points and 2.6 triples over his last five games and shapes up as a viable streamer if Giddey or Tre Jones (ankle) sits. Rob Dillingham could also see an expanded role. If cleared to play, Giddey remains a firm hold in all formats. |

| Wed Apr 1 | 18:48 | Josh Giddey Sidelined on Wednesday |
According to K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) won't play against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. Giddey was added late to the injury report and will miss his first game since March 5 due to left hamstring tightness. The 23-year-old's next chance to play is against the Knicks on Friday. Rob Dillingham could take on extra minutes with Giddey out of action this evening. The 21-year-old has averaged 8.3 points, 2.9 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 20.3 minutes per outing across 23 appearances since joining the Bulls. |

| Thu Mar 12 | 21:27 | Josh Giddey Cleared to Face Lakers |
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) has received the green light to play on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was listed as probable on the initial injury report. Despite dealing with a right ankle sprain, Giddey logged 43 minutes in Tuesday's overtime against Golden State, so he doesn't appear to be limited in any way. Giddey produced a 21-13-17 line against the Warriors and will head out for his third consecutive triple-double on Thursday. |

| Wed Mar 11 | 20:14 | Josh Giddey Likely Active Thursday |
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's matchup against the Lakers and is expected to play through a minor right ankle sprain. The 23-year-old has been rolling lately, averaging 17.0 points, 10.8 rebounds, 11.0 assists, and 3.2 three-pointers across his last five games while logging 34 minutes per contest. As long as he is active, Giddey remains a must-start player in all formats due to his triple-double upside. Tre Jones, Matas Buzelis (ankle), if active, and Collin Sexton (lower leg), if available, could see more playmaking chances if any setback occurs, though Giddey should continue to handle primary creation duties. |

| Tue Mar 10 | 08:00 | Josh Giddey Probable Tuesday |
Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. Giddey injured his right ankle last week, but he returned to the lineup on Sunday against Sacramento and appears ready to play on Tuesday night. Health issues have left a mark on Giddey's season, but he has looked like his usual self again in recent games. Over his last three appearances, Giddey has recorded two triple-doubles, averaging 16.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 9.7 assists. |

| Sun Mar 8 | 19:53 | Josh Giddey is Returning on Sunday |
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Giddey will shed the questionable tag and return to action after missing Thursday's game. Given he only missed one game, Giddey isn't expected to operate under a minutes limit. Since the All-Star break, Giddey is averaging 13.6 points, 6.7 assists, and 6.1 rebounds across 27.1 minutes per game. Fantasy managers should get Giddey active in their lineups ahead of tip-off. Both Rob Dillingham and Collin Sexton should see reduced roles with Giddey returning. |

| Sat Mar 7 | 21:25 | Josh Giddey Questionable to Suit Up Sunday |
Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He rolled his right ankle earlier this week and has already missed one game. As a result of Giddey's absence, Collin Sexton got a chance to start on Thursday versus the Phoenix Suns, exploding for a season-high 30 points. This performance is likely to lead to Sexton earning a bigger role, even if Giddey returns on Sunday. Tre Jones, who tallied 21 points, six rebounds, five assists, and two steals against the Suns, also has additional fantasy value in Giddey's absence. |

| Thu Mar 5 | 19:57 | Josh Giddey Misses Meeting With Suns |
Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey (ankle) won't play on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. He was initially listed as questionable for the contest after Giddey rolled his right ankle in Tuesday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Chicago's backcourt has been hit by several injuries, forcing Tre Jones, Collin Sexton, and Rob Dillingham to step up. With Giddey out, Sexton is the prime candidate to join Jones in the starting lineup on Thursday. |

| Wed Mar 4 | 07:59 | Josh Giddey Hurts Ankle Tuesday |
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey rolled his right ankle in Tuesday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports. Giddey left the game late in the third quarter but came back to play until the end. After the game, Giddey said his ankle "doesn't feel too bad." According to Bulls head coach Billy Donovan, the team will evaluate Giddey further on Wednesday. Chicago has two more games scheduled this week, starting with a road contest against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. Giddey's absence could open the door to the first unit for Collin Sexton, who led the team with 20 points on Tuesday night. Tre Jones and Rob Dillingham will likely also pick up some of the available minutes. |

| Sun Feb 22 | 19:36 | Josh Giddey, Tre Jones Facing Minute Caps Sunday |
Chicago Bulls guards Josh Giddey and Tre Jones will be on minute restrictions for Sunday's game against the Knicks. Giddey recently returned from an eight-game absence and posted 27 points, six rebounds, and three assists with five 3-pointers in 27 minutes in the last loss to Detroit. Jones added seven points and six assists in 26 minutes. With both capped, Collin Sexton and Rob Dillingham could see modest bumps off the bench. Giddey remains a must-start, but slight workload limits introduce mild risk in weekly formats. |

| Thu Feb 19 | 18:25 | Josh Giddey is Available for Thursday's Contest |
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) is available to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Giddey is back in the mix after missing the last eight games before the All-Star break due to a lingering hamstring injury. He's feeling good enough to play after the break, but it's unclear if Giddey is going to start. The Bulls might ease Giddey back into action and have him come off the bench while he gets up his conditioning. Regardless, fantasy managers in season-long formats can get Giddey active in their lineups. Collin Sexton and Anfernee Simons could take a hit in production with Giddey back in the mix now. |

| Wed Feb 18 | 21:37 | Josh Giddey Listed as Questionable, Expects to Play on Thursday |
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Toronto Raptors but practiced in full on Wednesday and expects to play. Giddey has missed the previous eight games with a strained left hamstring, and the team has struggled, losing seven of its last eight games without him. The former sixth-overall pick has had a career year in his fifth season, averaging 18.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 8.8 assists in 32 minutes per game. With Giddey expected to return on Thursday, expect guards Collin Sexton, Jaden Ivey, and Rob Dillingham to see fewer minutes and less offensive production moving forward. |

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) won't play against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. The 23-year-old will miss his eighth game in a row due to a left hamstring strain and his next chance to return to action is after the All-Star break, Feb. 19 against Toronto. Tre Jones (hamstring) is also out tonight (hamstring), likely leaving plenty of extra minutes for new Bulls Anfernee Simons, Jaden Ivey, Collin Sexton, and Rob Dillingham. |

| Tue Feb 10 | 15:10 | Josh Giddey Doubtful Again on Wednesday |
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) is unlikely to return to the Bulls before the All-Star break, since he was listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Celtics. Giddey and Tre Jones (hamstring) are both doubtful for the team's last game before the break, leaving new Bulls Anfernee Simons, Jaden Ivey, Collin Sexton, and Rob Dillingham likely to carry the workload. Giddey and Jones will fit into the new-look rotation when they're healthy, but until then, the new acquisitions should continue to get a chance to earn their roles with their new team on Wednesday in Boston. |

| Mon Feb 9 | 19:08 | Josh Giddey, Tre Jones Miss Monday vs. Nets |
Chicago Bulls guards Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Tre Jones (hamstring) will both sit out Monday against Brooklyn, keeping Chicago's backcourt thin heading into the final week before the All-Star break. Giddey is set to miss a seventh straight game, while Jones remains unavailable as his absence stretches toward double digits. Their continued absence locks in expanded roles for Anfernee Simons, Jaden Ivey, and Collin Sexton. In Saturday's loss to Denver, Simons played 33 minutes with 15 points, three triples, four rebounds, and six assists, while Sexton scored 17 points in 29 minutes. Simons is the safest short-term stream, with Ivey offering upside in steals. |

| Sun Feb 8 | 19:53 | Josh Giddey Likely to Remain Out Monday |
Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) is expected to miss a seventh consecutive game on Monday against the Brooklyn Nets, as he has been listed as doubtful on the injury report. Giddey was having a great year until he ran into hamstring issues, and it wouldn't be surprising if the team kept him on the shelf until the All-Star break. Giddey's health issues, along with Tre Jones' (hamstring) absence, have allowed Anfernee Simons and Jaden Ivey to make productive starts in Chi-Town. Collin Sexton has also just made his team debut, helping cover for the backcourt absences. |

| Fri Feb 6 | 18:11 | Josh Giddey Won't Play Saturday |
Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) won't be available on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. A left hamstring strain will keep him off the floor for a sixth consecutive game. With Tre Jones (hamstring) also out, the Bulls debuted a new-look backcourt against Toronto on Thursday. Newly acquired Anfernee Simons and Jaden Ivey both started, with the former scoring a team-high 22 points. Ivey made an impact with 13 points and six assists. The two look like solid fantasy options again for Saturday's action. |

| Mon Feb 2 | 18:07 | Josh Giddey Out Again on Tuesday Evening |
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) won't play in Tuesday's Central Division clash with the Milwaukee Bucks. He missed a few weeks because of a hamstring strain. While the 23-year-old appeared in some games since returning, he'll now miss his fourth-straight contest. It's been reported Giddey is improving, which is good. However, fantasy managers shouldn't rule out the chance that he could be out beyond the All-Star break. At any rate, Ayo Dosunmu should be given an expanded role behind Coby White, Matas Buzelis, and Nikola Vucevic while Giddey works his way back. |

| Sun Feb 1 | 17:17 | Josh Giddey Out Again on Sunday |
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's rematch with the Heat, marking his third-straight absence. The left hamstring injury isn't anything new, although fantasy managers are starting to get even more concerned at this point. Giddey's next chance to suit up will be on Tuesday versus Milwaukee. In the meantime, Coby White, Matas Buzelis, Ayo Dosunmu, and Nikola Vucevic should see even more scoring opportunities, especially with Kevin Huerter (back), Tre Jones (hamstring), and Jalen Smith (calf) also on the shelf. |

| Thu Jan 29 | 19:05 | Josh Giddey Won't Play Thursday |
Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) will exit the lineup on Thursday against the Miami Heat. Chicago will complete a back-to-back, and the team has decided to rest Giddey, who only recently returned from a hamstring injury. Jalen Smith (calf) made way for Giddey in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers and is likely to return to the first unit for Thursday's tilt. Meanwhile, Ayo Dosunmu and Kevin Huerter could get additional run-outs in the rotation. |
