GAME LOG
Jalen Smith - Probable for Wednesday Smith is probable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks with a left finger sprain.
Impact Smith is expected to play through the injury Wednesday, but his time as Chicago's starting center could be coming to an end. Nic Claxton (hamstring) is questionable to make his season debut, and his return would send Smith into a bench role in all likelihood.

Matas Buzelis - Poor showing in loss Buzelis contributed four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block across 23 minutes during Monday's 126-107 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Buzelis endured a frustrating performance, committing five turnovers while attempting just five shots. The young forward has now scored 14 or fewer points in three consecutive appearances, and his limited offensive involvement Monday was particularly concerning. His ability to contribute across multiple categories offers fantasy upside, but inconsistent production remains an issue.

Jalen Smith - Comes close to double-double Smith registered 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 28 minutes in Monday's 126-107 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Smith provided efficient interior scoring and useful contributions on the glass while coming close to matching his season-high assist total. This was Smith's fifth double-digit scoring performance this season, and he has also recorded at least seven rebounds five times. His scoring and rebounding will drive his fantasy appeal on a young Chicago roster.
6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Josh Giddey - Dishes out 10 assists Monday Giddey tallied 13 points (5-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists, a steal and two blocks across 32 minutes in Monday's 126-107 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Giddey compensated for inefficient shooting with double-digit assists and three steals-plus-blocks, delivering useful fantasy production despite Chicago's struggles. His 10 assists were particularly encouraging given his relatively modest scoring output, making it the third time Giddey has dished out at least 10 assists this season in seven appearances. Giddey's role as the Bulls' primary facilitator continues to support his fantasy value, although inconsistent shooting and fluctuating rebounding totals can limit his ceiling. That said, he's trending in the right direction after averaging 11.8 points, 7.5 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game over his last four contests.
6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Norman Powell - Goes for 18 points Monday Powell posted 18 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-11 FT), three rebounds and two steals across 29 minutes in Monday's 126-107 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Powell struggled with his shooting efficiency, and his lack of assists also limited his fantasy production. However, despite the inconsistency in his scoring numbers, there's a solid floor since Powell has scored at least 15 points in every game so far -- and he's reached the 20-point threshold twice. He should remain one of Chicago's go-to players on offense alongside young starlets Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson.

Caleb Wilson - Strong all-around showing in loss Wilson finished Monday's 126-107 loss to the 76ers with 24 points (9-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and four steals across 34 minutes.
Impact Wilson turned in an efficient effort, particularly from three-point range, finishing as the Bulls' leading scorer. The rookie No. 4 overall pick also tied for the team lead in rebounds and paced all players in steals, supplying multiple swipes for the fourth time in seven regular-season games. The 20-year-old has been impressive on both ends of the floor to begin his NBA career, reaching the 20-point threshold five times while recording at least three combined steals-plus-blocks in all seven outings.

NOVEMBER 2 • THEBIGLEAD.COM
Jalen Smith - Will play Monday Smith (finger) is active for Monday's game against Philadelphia.
Impact As expected, Smith will suit up versus the 76ers. He's averaging 12.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 blocks in 24.2 minutes across six outings so far this season. With Nic Claxton (hamstring) still sidelined, Smith is likely to continue starting for the Bulls.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Tobe Awaka - Good to go Monday Awaka (ankle) is active for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Impact Awaka was probable to suit up versus Philadelphia with a sprained left ankle, but he's going to play through it for the second straight contest. He'll provide center depth on the bench behind starter Jalen Smith (finger), although Awaka isn't expected to see much playing time.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Nic Claxton - Out again Monday Claxton (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Impact Claxton appears to be trending in the right direction after practicing Sunday, but he's not yet ready to make his 2026-27 debut. His next chance to play will arrive Wednesday against the Knicks.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Dailyn Swain - Not listed on injury report Swain (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Impact Swain was a late addition to the injury report Friday before being ruled out against the Celtics due to lower-back soreness. While he'll be available, the rookie isn't guaranteed minutes, having made only one 12-minute appearance during a 35-point loss in Boston over Chicago's first six games.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Smith - Expected to play Monday Smith (finger) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Philadelphia.
Impact Smith is battling a finger injury but is expected to suit up versus the 76ers. With Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) listed as doubtful, Smith will presumably remain in the starting lineup.
NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Tobe Awaka - Probable for Monday Awaka (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against Philadelphia.
Impact Awaka played 12 minutes during Friday's 125-111 loss to the Celtics after missing one game with the ankle issue. The rookie big man will continue to provide depth off the bench for the Bulls behind Jalen Smith.
NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Nic Claxton - Doubtful against Philadelphia Claxton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against Philadelphia.
Impact Claxton hasn't played this season. The former Net recently logged a full practice Sunday, and while he's moving in the right direction, he likely won't make his debut with Chicago on Monday. Assuming Claxton doesn't play against the 76ers, Jalen Smith (finger), who is probable, will presumably remain in the starting lineup at the five.
NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Nic Claxton - Log full practice Sunday Claxton (hamstring) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network.
Impact With Claxton progressing from individual drills last Monday to full practice participation Sunday, he appears to be moving in the right direction in his recovery from a hamstring injury that's cost him the start of the regular season. More clarity on Claxton's potential regular-season debut should surface Sunday night, when the Bulls release their injury report for Monday's game in Philadelphia.

Tre Jones - Logs four steals in Friday's loss Jones registered 12 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and four steals in 20 minutes during Friday's 125-111 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Jones led the Bulls' bench in scoring Friday, and he also contributed defensively with four of Chicago's six steals. Jones has scored in double digits in five of the first six games of the regular season, but he's averaging only 18.2 minutes per contest off the bench after averaging 27.0 minutes per game across 65 regular-season contests (41 starts) during the 2025-26 campaign. He'll continue to be limited to a rotational role unless one of Josh Giddey or Norman Powell were to miss time.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
Noa Essengue - Chips in 10 points vs. Boston Essengue chipped in 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT) and four rebounds across 16 minutes during Friday's 125-111 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Essengue reached double-digit points for the first time this season, with nine of his points coming in just three minutes of playing time in the fourth quarter. The second-year pro is averaging 14.0 minutes off the bench this season, but he's not worth streaming even in the deepest of fantasy leagues unless more opportunities were to open up for him.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Giddey - Muted line in loss Giddey totaled 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 25 minutes during Friday's 125-111 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Giddey's 13 points were his most in a game so far this regular season, but he hasn't been able to stuff the stat sheet like he did in each of the two prior seasons. Part of his struggles may be due to a lingering left wrist injury from training camp, although he hasn't shown up on the Bulls' injury report as of late. Giddey's slow start to the season is of some concern, and he'll continue to face tough competition as the Bulls travel to Philadelphia to face the 76ers on Monday.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Smith - Grabs 12 boards in loss Smith ended Friday's 125-111 loss to the Celtics with five points (2-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 27 minutes.
Impact Smith was the only player who finished Friday's game with double-digit rebounds, although it was the second time in three games that he failed to score in double digits. The seventh-year center is averaging 12.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 blocks over 24.2 minutes per game to open the regular season. He'll continue to operate in a starting role for as long as Nic Claxton (hamstring) is out of action.
