Talen Horton-Tucker News, Rumors, Updates - Chicago Bulls

Emerges with 18 points off bench Horton-Tucker recorded 18 points (6-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and three assists in 23 minutes during Monday's 112-99 victory over the Clippers.

Impact After logging three straight scoreless outings, Horton-Tucker emerged with 18 points in just 23 minutes off Chicago's bench. The veteran swingman's usage was also particularly high, as he attempted a season-high 15 field goals in the absence of both Coby White (ankle) and Ayo Dosunmu (calf). Despite Monday's outburst, fantasy managers should likely take a wait-and-see approach before considering adding Horton-Tucker, who hasn't played a consistent role with the Bulls in 2024-25.

Upgraded to available Horton-Tucker (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Horton-Tucker was a game-time call for this game, but he's been upgraded to available and should see minutes off the bench. He's averaging 10.3 minutes per game since the beginning of January, however, so he's not likely to have a big role in most fantasy formats.

Iffy against Portland Horton-Tucker (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

Impact Horton-Tucker is in danger of missing his second straight contest Sunday due to a left knee sprain. With Lonzo Ball (quadriceps) also questionable, Chicago could be short-handed in their backcourt rotation against Portland.

Questionable for Friday Horton-Tucker is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets with a left knee sprain.

Impact Horton-Tucker picked up the injury Wednesday versus the Hawks and was unable to return. Minutes will be hard to come by for Horton-Tucker going forward with Ayo Dosunmu finally over his calf issue.

Impact Horton-Tucker slipped on a wet spot and sustained a left knee injury late in Wednesday's contest. While he's sidelined, Jevon Carter and Dalen Terry could see some extra run. Horton-Tucker's next chance to play will come Friday against Charlotte.

Reaches double figures off bench Horton-Tucker supplied 10 points (3-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds across 17 minutes during Sunday's 124-119 loss to the Kings.

Impact Horton-Tucker provided a spark from deep off the bench Sunday, leading all Bulls second unit players in scoring while ending second on the team in threes made in a losing effort. Horton-Tucker has reached double figures in scoring off the bench in 12 outings this season, including in two straight appearances.

JANUARY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Muted role continues Horton-Tucker supplied two points (1-1 FG) and one assist in three minutes during Saturday's 139-126 win over the Knicks.

Impact Horton-Tucker logged just three minutes for the second time in the past four games, an indication of just where he sits in the current rotation. Although he has played meaningful minutes at times, he is averaging just 12.3 minutes per contest, putting up 6.2 points and 0.8 three-pointers.

Impact Horton-Tucker logged just three minutes for the second time in the past four games, an indication of where he sits in the current rotation. Although he has played meaningful minutes at times, he is averaging just 12.3 minutes per contest, putting up 6.2 points and 0.8 three-pointers.

Provides spark off bench Horton-Tucker chipped in 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Monday's 122-121 victory over the Raptors.

Impact Despite struggling with his outside shot, Horton-Tucker's 15 points were his most scored in a game since Nov. 29. The 24-year-old guard has displayed impressive efficiency this season, shooting 54.5 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from three.

Struggles again Friday Horton-Tucker amassed two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 13 minutes during Friday's 109-95 win over the Hornets.

Impact Horton-Tucker produced a lot of nothing once again, continuing his recent slump. He has now scored a total of seven points in the last three games, shifting to a depth role as opposed to anything meaningful. At this stage, the Bulls would have to be dealing with multiple injuries for Horton-Tucker to have any chance of playing consistent minutes.

DECEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Leads bench with 13 points Horton-Tucker totaled 13 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 21 minutes during Thursday's 139-124 win over the Spurs.

Impact Horton-Tucker didn't see much playing time off the bench at the start of the 2024-25 regular season, but he has carved out a more consistent role for himself as of late. He has played at least 14 minutes in each of his last six outings, and over that span he has averaged 13.8 points on 65.2 percent shooting, 2.3 assists and 1.8 rebounds over 16.7 minutes per contest.

DECEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps producing off bench Horton-Tucker finished Friday's 138-129 loss to the Celtics with 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-4 3Pt) across 14 minutes.

Impact Horton-Tucker has taken advantage of several absences to carve a productive role off the bench. He's scored in double digits in four games in a row, and while he should continue to see minutes, his numbers will likely regress from an efficiency perspective -- he's shooting an unsustainable 78.6 percent from the floor in that four-game stretch.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for 20 points Wednesday Horton-Tucker provided 20 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and one assist across 14 minutes during Wednesday's 133-119 loss to the Magic.

Impact Horton-Tucker was remarkably efficient with his shot in this loss and extended his solid streak of play, as he's now scored in double digits in his last three outings. That said, this uptick in scoring isn't likely to translate to much fantasy value. Even though he's averaging 11.0 points per game in his last five contests, he's doing so while logging 12.0 minutes per game. That point-per-minute ratio is expected to regress sooner rather than later.

NOVEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Plays well off bench Horton-Tucker closed Tuesday's 127-108 win over Washington with 13 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal over 16 minutes.

Impact Horton-Tucker played through a thumb issue in the win, absorbing some of Patrick Williams' (foot) minutes in the process. He's played well in two straight games, averaging 11.5 points, 3.5 assists, 1.5 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers in that span.

NOVEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Horton-Tucker (thumb) is available for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Impact As expected, Horton-Tucker has been upgraded from probable to available. With Patrick Williams (foot) still out, Horton-Tucker should see minutes off the bench against Washington.

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with minor thumb sprain Horton-Tucker is probable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards due to a right thumb sprain.

Impact Horton-Tucker's role has been sporadic this season, and he's expected to be available off the bench again Tuesday. With Patrick Williams (foot) unavailable, Horton-Tucker could be in the rotation. On Saturday, he played 18 minutes -- his most since Nov. 7 -- and recorded 10 points, five assists, two rebounds and two blocks.

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Leads bench in scoring in loss Horton-Tucker ended Sunday's 143-107 loss to the Rockets with 12 points (4-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 10 minutes.

Impact Horton-Tucker provided a boost off the Chicago bench despite playing in just 10 minutes, leading all players on the second unit in scoring while connecting on a team-high-tying pair of threes. Horton-Tucker's point total is his second-highest of the season and was his third outing in double figures in scoring.

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sees uptick in playing time Horton-Tucker closed with 10 points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 28 minutes during Monday's 135-126 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Horton-Tucker struggled to find his groove shooting the ball, but he still finished the night with season highs in points, rebounds, assists and minutes. The Iowa State product clearly benefitted from the absence of Zach LaVine (hip), who's timetable for a return is still up in the air. Both Horton-Tucker and Dalen Terry should be in line for more opportunities until LaVine can get back on the court.

Productive off bench Monday Horton-Tucker registered 15 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds and an assist across 18 minutes off the bench in Monday's 111-107 preseason loss to the Bucks.

Impact Horton-Tucker is battling for a roster spot with the Bulls, and while these performances might strengthen his case, his chances of securing a spot on the Opening Night rotation aren't very high. Horton-Tucker has averaged at least 10.0 points per game in each of his last three seasons, though, so he could provide some scoring and flexibility off the bench in a rebuilding Chicago team.
