Paces second unit in win Horton-Tucker racked up 17 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six assists, three rebounds and two steals across 29 minutes during Sunday's 122-102 victory over the 76ers.

Impact The Iowa State product led the Bulls in playing time while finishing as the club's second-leading scorer against Philadelphia. He also recorded a game-high six assists, tying his season high. The 24-year-old has played fairly consistent minutes of late due to Tre Jones (foot) and Lonzo Ball (wrist) being sidelined, reaching the double-digit mark in points during six of his last eight appearances. Horton-Tucker made 58 regular-season appearances during the 2024-25 campaign, finishing with averages of 6.5 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.7 three-pointers, 0.4 steals and 0.2 blocks across a career-low 12.5 minutes per contest.

Shines off bench in defeat Horton-Tucker racked up 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 135-113 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Horton-Tucker provided a big spark off the Bulls bench in Tuesday's contest, leading all bench players in scoring while finishing as one of three players with 15 or more points. Horton-Tucker has tallied at least 15 points in eight contests, doing so in three of his last five appearances.

Chips in 27 points off bench Horton-Tucker ended Tuesday's 137-118 win over the Raptors with 27 points (8-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 32 minutes.

Impact Horton-Tucker played a season-high 32 minutes off the bench Tuesday and finished as the Bulls' second-leading scorer behind Coby White (28). Horton-Tucker has seen an uptick in playing time over the Bulls' last two games after seeing sparse minutes for most of March, in part due to an ankle injury. He should continue to see extended minutes off the bench if Julian Phillips (quadriceps), Dalen Terry (calf) and Jevon Carter (shoulder) remain sidelined.

Sees 16 minutes Monday Horton-Tucker logged 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 16 minutes during Monday's 145-117 loss to the Thunder.

Impact This game was over in a hurry, allowing Horton-Tucker to see ample minutes in garbage time. Therefore, fantasy managers shouldn't chase after this line. Across nine March appearances, Horton-Tucker averaged 5.3 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 10.4 minutes per game.

APRIL 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Green light to play Saturday Horton-Tucker (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Miami.

Impact Horton-Tucker popped up on Friday's injury report due to a right ankle sprain, but the injury isn't severe enough for him to be sidelined Saturday. He has played in each of Chicago's last three games after missing 10 of the Bulls' 12 games prior.

MARCH 8, 2025 • Associated Press

Likely to face Miami on Saturday Horton-Tucker is listed as probable for Saturday's game against Miami due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact The right ankle sprain is a new injury for Horton-Tucker, though the probable tag suggests that it's seemingly minor enough for him to play through. The 24-year-old guard could see a slight uptick in playing time if he's able to suit up Saturday, as Lonzo Ball (wrist) is listed as doubtful. Over his last five outings, Horton-Tucker has averaged 7.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 14.0 minutes per game.

MARCH 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pops for season-high 22 Horton-Tucker supplied 22 points (9-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and six assists in 31 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 139-117 loss to Cleveland.

Impact With Josh Giddey (quadriceps), Lonzo Ball (wrist) and Kevin Huerter (knee) all unavailable, Horton-Tucker played more than 30 minutes for the first time all season and turned the usage into his best scoring effort of 2024-25. The six assists also tied his season high, but the 24-year-old guard has been little more than a depth piece when the rest of the Chicago backcourt has been healthy -- since the All-Star break, Horton-Tucker had played only 22 total minutes across two games, while being a DNP for four other contests, prior to Tuesday's performance.

Good to go against Golden State Horton-Tucker (lower leg) is available for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact A left lower leg infectioncaused Horton-Tucker to miss the Bulls' last three games, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to suit up Saturday. Even though he's back in action for the Bulls, Horton-Tucker won't be guaranteed a spot in head coach Billy Donovan's rotation.

Good to go against Golden State Horton-Tucker (lower leg) is available for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact A left lower leg infection has caused Horton-Tucker to miss the Bulls' last four games, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to return Saturday. Now that he's back, Horton-Tucker could see his role in the Bulls' rotation increase following the trade of Zach LaVine to the Kings.

FEBRUARY 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Saturday Horton-Tucker (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Golden State.

Impact Horton-Tucker is in jeopardy of missing his fifth consecutive contest due to a left lower leg infection. If the 24-year-old remains on the shelf, Jevon Carter could see a slight bump in playing time.

FEBRUARY 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Wednesday Horton-Tucker (leg) will not play Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Impact Horton-Tucker will sit out a fourth straight game for the Bulls. Chicago is expected to be busy at the deadline and already flipped Zach LaVine to Sacramento, so there could be some minutes available in the rotation upon Horton-Tucker's return.

Downgraded to out Horton-Tucker (leg) will not play Tuesday against the Heat.

Impact No surprise here, as Horton-Tucker was previously carrying a doubtful tag. It remains to be seen if he'll be ready for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.

FEBRUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Tuesday Horton-Tucker (lower leg) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Impact Horton-Tucker was unable to play in Sunday's 127-119 loss to the Pistons due to a lower leg injury, and it doesn't appear likely that he will be able to return Tuesday. Horton-Tucker's minutes have been irregular for most of the regular season; however, when he does return, he could have a larger role in the Bulls' rotation due to Zach LaVine (personal) being traded to the Kings on Sunday.

FEBRUARY 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out Sunday Horton-Tucker (lower leg) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Horton-Tucker isn't a staple of Chicago's rotation, but his absence should open up a few extra minutes for Matas Buzelis and Dalen Terry, especially with Zach LaVine (personal) still out. Horton-Tucker's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Heat.

FEBRUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to questionable Sunday Horton-Tucker (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Detroit.

Impact Horton-Tucker was available to suit up in Friday's win over Toronto after sustaining the left lower leg injury in Wednesday's loss to Boston. If the 24-year-old is sidelined Sunday, Josh Giddey could see a slight uptick in playing time.

FEBRUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Sunday Horton-Tucker (leg) has been listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Pistons.

Impact After missing Friday's win against the Raptors, Horton-Tucker is trending toward returning to the floor for the Bulls. The veteran has had a rough stretch of games for Chicago, going scoreless during the last two games he played, playing a total of six minutes combined off the bench.

FEBRUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Playing Friday vs. Toronto Horton-Tucker (leg) is available to play against the Raptors on Friday.

Impact Horton-Tucker injured his left lower left leg during the Bulls' 122-100 loss to the Celtics on Wednesday, but the injury doesn't appear to be serious enough for him to be held out of Friday's contest. Prior to Wednesday's game, Horton-Tucker averaged 5.3 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists over 10.2 minutes per game across 12 outings since and including Jan. 1.

JANUARY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Horton-Tucker (leg) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Horton-Tucker played only two minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Celtics before being ruled out for the game with a lower left leg injury. The 24-year-old might not be able to get back on the floor for Friday's game in Toronto, but this shouldn't have a significant impact from a fantasy perspective, as he plays just 11.5 minutes per game this season for the Bulls, averaging 5.9 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per contest.

JANUARY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Early exit Wednesday Horton-Tucker has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to a left shin injury, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Horton-Tucker will end the contest, having not accumulated any counting stats across two minutes. Dalen Terry, Julian Phillips and Jevon Carter are the leading candidates for more minutes during the second half. Horton-Tucker's next chance to play will come Friday at Toronto.

JANUARY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fails to score again Monday Horton-Tucker racked up zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across four minutes during Monday's 129-121 win over Denver.

Impact Horton-Tucker didn't trouble the scorers for the fourth time in the past seven games, a trend that seems unlikely to change any time soon. At this point, he is buried on the depth chart, playing meaningful minutes only when those ahead of him are sidelined. At this point in his career, there doesn't appear to be a light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to carving out a meaningful role in the NBA.
