Running with first unit

The Bulls will hold Dosunmu out Monday due to calf injury management, so it's reasonable for fantasy managers to expect him to return in Thursday's matchup with the Warriors. With Lonzo Ball (knee) available and Coby White (ankle) out against the Clippers,

Dosunmu (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers. Dosunum, who just recently returned from a 10-game absence with a calf injury, has played in three straight games for the Bulls.

Iffy for Sunday

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu is progressing better than expected and could return soon. A couple of days after Bulls coach Billy Donovan told K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network that Dosunmu wouldn’t amp up his recovery for another week,

Ball (injury management) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Ball will keep sitting out a game in back-to-backs. But his minutes have climbed, and coach Billy Donovan says he has been a full participant in practices and shootarounds between games.

LaMelo Ball scored 26 points, Miles Bridges had 21 and the Charlotte Hornets held on for a wild 125-123 win over the Chicago Bulls.

While Zach LaVine continues to boost the Chicago Bulls with his scoring heroics, Lonzo Ball has provided a welcome jolt as a secondary option. Ball enters Tuesday's visit from the New Orleans Pelicans coming off consecutive double-figure scoring efforts for the first time this season.

The Chicago Bulls failed to capitalize on Nikola Vucevic’s 40-point game in a 125-123 loss to the Charlotte Hornets. This marked the first game in which brothers LaMelo and Lonzo Ball competed against each other since Lonzo’s impressive return from injury.

Dosunmu (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Hawks.

Ball (rest) will not play Sunday against Portland. Sunday's game is the first leg of a back-to-back set, so presumably, Ball will be available for Monday's game against the Clippers. Ayo Dosunmu is likely to see extended minutes Sunday with Ball on the sidelines.
