Pritchard nets 30, Celtics ease past turnover-prone Bulls 125-111 in NBA Cup action

Payton Pritchard scored 30 points, and the Boston Celtics raced past the Chicago Bulls 125-111 in the NBA Cup opener for both teams
OCTOBER 31 • Associated Press
Caleb Wilson - Full stat line in loss Wilson finished Friday's 125-111 loss to the Celtics with 23 points (7-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes.
Impact Wilson impressed in his first NBA Cup game, leading the Bulls in scoring while reaching the 20-point threshold for the fourth time across six regular-season appearances. The rookie No. 4 overall pick also doubled his previous career high in three-pointers made after shooting 22.2 percent from deep in his previous five appearances. He made an impact on the defensive end as well, matching the game-high mark in blocks. Wilson has yet to record fewer than three combined steals-plus-blocks in a game this season.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
Tobe Awaka - Available Friday Awaka (ankle) is available for Friday's game in Boston.
Impact The rookie big man is available off the bench for the Bulls on Friday. Awaka may not see significant playing time, though.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Smith - Cleared to play Friday Smith (finger) is available for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Impact Smith popped up on the injury report due to a left finger sprain, though it won't keep him off the floor versus Boston. With Nic Claxton (hamstring) sidelined, Smith has started in all five of the Bulls' regular-season games in 2026-27, averaging 13.4 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 23.4 minutes per outing.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Dailyn Swain - Out Friday Swain (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Boston.
Impact Swain will be held out of Friday's contest due to lower-back soreness. His next chance to play will come Monday at Philadelphia.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Dailyn Swain - Late addition to injury report Swain is listed as questionable for Friday's game at Boston due to lower-back soreness.
Impact Swain was a late addition to the injury report. He's been a healthy scratch in three of the last four games, so his potential absence wouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation.

OCTOBER 30 • Associated Press
Patrick Williams - Will play Friday Williams (groin) said he will play Friday against Boston, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Impact Williams was listed as questionable on the official injury report, but he went through shootaround with no setbacks and has the green light to suit up. He's yet to see the floor this season and is not guaranteed minutes, to be clear.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Patrick Williams - Questionable for Friday Williams (adductor) is questionable for Friday's game in Boston.
Impact Williams is looking to be available for his season debut Friday. The forward could test out the issue prior to Friday's contest before Chicago clarifies his status.
OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Smith - Listed as questionable Smith is questionable for Friday's game against Boston with a left finger sprain.
Impact This is a new injury for Chicago's starting center, but he's considered day-to-day. If Smith is held out against Boston, the Bulls could lean more on Zach Collins.
OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Tobe Awaka - Iffy for Friday Awaka (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game in Boston.
Impact Awaka continues to battle a left ankle sprain. The rookie big man could go through morning shootaround and pregame warmups before the Bulls update his status.
OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Isaac Okoro - Muted start to season Okoro notched seven points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one assist and one steal over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 133-127 loss to New York.
Impact Okoro is seeing meaningful run off the bench for the rebuilding Bulls, but he's not seeing the level of usage to command much streaming attention early on. He's been held to single figures in scoring in four of his first five appearances and has yet to bury multiple three-pointers in any of them.
OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Smith - Productive stretch as starter Smith racked up 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt), 11 rebounds, five assists and three blocks over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 133-127 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Smith continues to hold down the fort at center while Nicolas Claxton tends to a hamstring injury. Over his first five appearances, Smith has averaged 13.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 23.4 minutes per game.

Celtics and Bulls meet Friday in NBA Cup group stage

The Boston Celtics take on the Chicago Bulls in an NBA Cup in-season tournament group play matchup
OCTOBER 29 • Associated Press
Josh Giddey - Falls short of triple-double Giddey ended with 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, 11 assists and one steal over 31 minutes in Wednesday's 133-127 loss to the Knicks.
Impact After ending the 2025-26 campaign by averaging a career-high 17.0 points, Giddey has been quiet on the offensive end in his first five appearances of the season. While he should pick it up at some point moving forward, he might not be as productive offensively as he was in previous years, considering the Bulls have Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis and Norman Powell all looking for scoring opportunities. Still, Giddey is a skilled all-around player, so he should continue to make a difference in other statistical areas even if he doesn't increase his scoring contributions.
OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Matas Buzelis - Solid showing in loss to Knicks Buzelis finished with 17 points (5-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block over 33 minutes in Wednesday's 133-127 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Buzelis had just 11 points in Monday's 133-99 loss to Boston. He got it together Wednesday, ending the night by tying for his second-highest points total of the season thus far. Buzelis is beginning to find his rhythm after a slow start to the 2026-27 campaign, with the 22-year-old shooting 50.0 percent from deep in his last two appearances while amassing one steal in each of his previous three games.
OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Caleb Wilson - Productive rookie year continues Wilson finished with 20 points (7-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block over 38 minutes in Wednesday's 133-127 loss to New York.
Impact Wilson's solid inaugural campaign continued Wednesday, with the rookie reaching the 20-point mark for the third time in his young career. While the 20-year-old has certainly been a steady offensive contributor, he's also shined defensively and now has nine steals in his first five professional appearances.
OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Norman Powell - Leads Chicago in scoring Wednesday Powell finished with 30 points (10-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-9 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 37 minutes in Wednesday's 133-127 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Powell ended with his highest-scoring game of the 2026-27 campaign Wednesday. He is still a threat from deep. However, Powell has shown growth as a defender and is now averaging a career-best 2.2 steals in his first five games as a Bull.
