Zach LaVine Injury News & Updates

LaVine racked up 42 points (12-24 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 10-11 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 39 minutes during Saturday's 127-111 victory over the Heat.

After scoring just two points on 20 percent shooting from the field during Wednesday's loss to the Rockets, LaVine bounced back in a major way. The veteran swingman caught fire from three-point range and set season-high marks in points and triples. While the 30-year-old's performance Saturday is encouraging, he has been inconsistent of late. LaVine has finished with single-digit points in four of his last 10 outings, averaging 17.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists while shooting 45.4 percent from the floor in 31.3 minutes per contest during that span.

LaVine finished with two points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 121-95 loss to the Rockets.

For the second time in his last five outings, LaVine was held to single-digit points. The Kings dropped to 5-17 with this loss, and the noise around a potential LaVine trade is only going to grow louder as a result.

LaVine accumulated 34 points (12-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-9 FT), two rebounds and six assists across 39 minutes during Friday's 128-119 loss to the Jazz.

LaVine had been struggling coming into Friday's game, shooting just 36.8 percent from the floor and 16.7 percent from distance over a three-game stretch, so it was nice to see him snap out of the funk. This was his first 30-plus-point performance since Nov. 1, and his fourth of the season. LaVine will look to keep it going Sunday with a favorable matchup with Memphis.

LaVine contributed seven points (3-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 117-112 overtime victory over the Timberwolves.

LaVine couldn't get anything going in the win, but DeMar DeRozan and Keegan Murray were able to pick up the slack. Saturday marked LaVine's worst scoring total of the season, and his numbers have been especially volatile recently. He's often alternated between great totals and single-digit performances, and there's no clear metric that explains the inconsistency. He averages out to a conversion rate of 49.8 percent over 16 games, so accuracy isn't a pressing problem. He also averages 14.7 shots per game, which is also a decent number.

LaVine logged 26 points (10-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes in Thursday's 137-96 loss to Memphis.

LaVine delivered a bounce-back performance after totaling just 16 points and shooting 7-for-17 from the field in his previous two games. The veteran swingman was the only Kings player to score more than 12 points en route to his ninth 20-plus-point outing through 14 regular-season appearances. He should remain one of the team's top options on the offensive end, though he has struggled to contribute in other categories besides points and triples so far this season.

LaVine is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

The Kings' initial starting lineup didn't include LaVine, but a revised version has LaVine sharing the floor with Russell Westbrook, DeMar DeRozan, Precious Achiuwa and Drew Eubanks. LaVine has started in all 12 appearances this season, though he saw a season-low 25 minutes last time out.

LaVine isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

The Kings have lost six straight games and have allowed over 120 points in each contest. Head Coach Doug Christie will test out a new starting five Wednesday night, rolling out Russell Westbrook, Malik Monk, DeMar DeRozan, Precious Achiuwa and Drew Eubanks. LaVine played a season-low 25 minutes in Sacramento's most recent game.

LaVine logged 25 points (8-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 124-110 loss to Minnesota.

Russell Westbrook and Domantas Sabonis might have stolen the headlines in what was another defeat for the Kings, but LaVine posted another strong showing as a reliable scoring weapon on a struggling team. This was LaVine's seventh game with at least 25 points in his 11 appearances this season, and his role as one of the Kings' go-to options on offense won't change no matter how much the team struggles. This was also a big bounce-back performance for LaVine, who had scored no more than 15 points in three of his previous four outings.

LaVine (thigh) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game in Minnesota.

LaVine skipped the second leg of a back-to-back set Wednesday with a minor thigh issue, but he'll be back out there with his usual minutes Friday night. His return should result in Russell Westbrook heading back to the second unit and Keon Ellis' minutes will likely dip.

LaVine won't play Wednesday against the Hawks with a right thigh contusion.

LaVine logged 35 minutes against the Nuggets on Tuesday and finished with 12 points on 5-of-12 shooting. The Kings will hold him out for the second leg of this back-to-back set, and this could simply be a maintenance day for the veteran guard. Malik Monk (ankle) is questionable, so the Kings may need Dennis Schroder and Russell Westbrook to shoulder big workloads.

LaVine racked up 26 points (10-17 FG, 6-9 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 144-117 loss to the Timberwolves.

After a couple quiet shooting performances sandwiched around Tuesday's scratch due to a back issue, LaVine looked more like his usual self Sunday as the veteran wing led the Kings in scoring and sank nearly half of the team's 13 total three-pointers. LaVine has topped 25 points in six of his nine appearances this season, averaging 25.2 points, 3.4 threes, 3.3 boards and 2.0 assists while shooting 52.7 percent from the floor, 90.9 percent from the charity stripe and 43.1 percent from beyond the arc.

LaVine provided nine points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 132-101 loss to the Thunder.

LaVine posted his lowest total of the season during the blowout loss, and the result marked his only single-digit scoring total as well. Friday's game was an outlier, as the veteran is currently averaging 25.1 points per game and is often the Kings' leader in the box score.

LaVine (back) has been cleared for Friday's game against Oklahoma City, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

LaVine missed Wednesday's matchup against the Warriors while dealing with a back issue. However, he'll be back on the court for Friday's action and will be eager to build upon a strong start to the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 27.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 37.0 minutes across seven games.

LaVine (back) will not play Wednesday against the Warriors, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

Similar to Domantas Sabonis (ribs), LaVine was unable to shake his questionable tag for Wednesday. For now, LaVine can be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's matchup with the Thunder. Keon Ellis and Malik Monk could both be more involved Wednesday and could see a bump in fantasy appeal.

LaVine (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

LaVine played through the back issue Monday, but he was held to a season-low 15 points on 4-11 shooting. We should get another update following Wednesday's shootaround, but if LaVine is forced to the sidelines, Keon Ellis could get a spot-start.

LaVine (back) is available for Monday's game against the Nuggets, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Beereports.

LaVine popped up as questionable on the injury report, but he'll play through the issue Monday with no word of any restrictions. The guard has been red hot to open the regular season with averages of 29.5 points, 3.7 three-pointers, 3.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists through six outings.

LaVine is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets due to lower back soreness.

LaVine put up his fifth 30-point game of the season Saturday against the Bucks, but he finds himself dealing with a back injury ahead of Monday's bout. If he is unable to play, Keon Ellis and Nique Clifford could see expanded roles with Malik Monk (personal) already ruled out.

LaVine produced 31 points (8-17 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Saturday's 135-133 win over the Bucks.

LaVine continued his scoring binge to open the new campaign, posting his fifth 30-point effort through just six appearances. The star guard will likely cool down a bit at some point, but fantasy managers have to be pleased with his productivity thus far. LaVine has averaged 29.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 3.7 three-pointers per game, shooting 53.0 percent from the floor, 40.0 percent from deep and 94.3 percent from the foul line.

LaVine closed with 30 points (12-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 126-113 loss to Chicago.

It's easy for LaVine to find his scoring groove, and he did exactly that against his former team to the tune of 30 points. Coach Doug Christie is currently playing LaVine 36.6 minutes per game, ninth most in the league. The 12-year pro is converting that playing time to 29.2 points per game thus far.

LaVine had 23 points (6-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 107-101 loss to the Thunder.

LaVine saw his streak of three straight 30-point games snapped Tuesday, taking just 13 shots after attempting 18 or more in each of his first three outings. Despite the dip in scoring, the 30-year-old continued to light it up from deep, hitting four three-pointers for the third consecutive contest. Through four games, LaVine is averaging 29.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists, thriving as a high-volume scorer but offering limited production in other areas.

LaVine recorded 32 points (12-24 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and four rebounds in 40 minutes during Sunday's 127-120 loss to the Lakers.

The 30-year-old has come out of the gates flying in 2025-26, scoring at least 30 points in three straight games to begin his first full season with the Kings. LaVine isn't doing much else other than scoring however, averaging 31.0 points, 3.3 threes and 2.7 boards while shooting 53.0 percent from the floor and 35.7 percent from beyond the arc.

LaVine (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Lakers, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

LaVine will shed his questionable tag and suit up against the Lakers. The 30-year-old swingman has posted at least 30 points in each of the Kings' two regular-season games thus far, averaging 30.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists while shooting 54.8 percent from the field in 36.0 minutes per contest.

LaVine (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

LaVine is under the weather and could miss the Kings' third regular-season game. If the 30-year-old swingman is unable to suit up against Los Angeles, Malik Monk and Keon Ellis are candidates for an uptick in minutes, while Devin Carter could enter the rotation.

LaVine closed Friday's 105-104 victory over the Jazz with 31 points (10-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 37 minutes.

LaVine broke the 30-point threshold for a second consecutive game, capping off a spectacular start for the veteran. This is a feat he accomplished twice last season, with last season's record set at three consecutive 30-point games. He'll try to tie the milestone agains the Lakers over the weekend.

LaVine provided 30 points (13-24 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 120-116 loss to the Suns.

LaVine's three-point shot was off in the defeat, but he made 13 baskets inside the arc to drive his impressive total. Throughout last season, LaVine's floor was exceptionally high. He also exceeded the 30-point threshold 19 times , demonstrating his upside when the game flows in his direction.

LaVine generated 15 points (4-11 FG, 4-4 FT, 3-7 3Pt), six assists and four rebounds across 28 minutes in Friday's 117-116 win over the Lakers.

Many of LaVine's usual first-unit teammates are currently banged up, so the versatile two-way swingman will be forced to carry a larger role once the regular season gets underway. The team will take no chances with valuable pieces like Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) and DeMar DeRozan (groin), so they are unlikely to play until they are close to 100 percent.

LaVine generated 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six assists, four rebounds and three steals across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 109-91 loss to the Clippers.

LaVine played close to his normal minute total in the loss and gave us a glimmer of his usual multi-category production. The Kings have acquired a true point guard in Dennis Schroder, so LaVine should be able to produce more off-the-ball opportunities with less presssure to direct the offense.

LaVine finished with 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Friday's 124-123 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.

LaVine was highly efficient in the shooting department, especially from beyond the arc, going 62.5 percent from deep. The veteran scorer has been efficient over the past two preseason games, shooting an impressive 66.6 percent from the field during that short span.

LaVine finished with 16 points (5-7 FG, 3-3 FT, 3-5 3Pt), a rebound and an assist over 15 minutes in Wednesday's preseason130-122 loss to the Raptors.

LaVine's results were significant considering his 15 minutes of work in the defeat. He embarks on his first full season with the Kings after coming over from Chicago at the trade deadline, and he immediately formed a nice synergy with the rest of the roster upon arriving. He was a great complement to former teammate DeMar DeRozan, who both provided offensive support during the team's push for a playoff spot. The team will experience some adjustments under new head coach Doug Christie, but LaVine's role will remain unchanged.

LaVine contributed 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt) and two assists in 27 minutes during Sunday's 109-98 victory over the Suns.

LaVine snapped a streak of four games with at least 40 minutes in this regular-season finale, as he was limited to a mere 27 minutes against an already-eliminated Suns team. LaVine should handle his regular workload when the Kings take on the Mavericks in the Play-In Tournament on Wednesday. The veteran averaged 23.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game in 74 regular-season appearances between the Kings and Bulls.

LaVine logged 26 points (9-23 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 41 minutes during Friday's 101-100 loss to the Clippers.

LaVine didn't have his best shooting performance, as he needed 23 shots to score 26 points while making just 33.3 percent of his treys, but fantasy managers will gladly look past the efficiency issues as long as he continues to hit the 25-point mark on a regular basis. The veteran scorer has recorded 25 or more points in five games in a row, a stretch in which he's shooting 53.2 percent from the floor and 55.1 percent from three-point range. Thus, this poor shooting display Friday was nothing but a bump on the road for LaVine.

LaVine accumulated 27 points (10-20 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and 11 assists across 44 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 loss to the Nuggets.

The double-double was his sixth of the season and third in 30 contests for the Kings, while the 27 points led the team in scoring on the night. LaVine is building some impressive momentum to take with him into the Play-In Tournament -- he's scored at least 25 points in four straight games, and he's drained multiple three-pointers in eight of the last nine contests, averaging 25.3 points, 4.0 threes, 3.7 assists and 3.1 boards over the latter stretch while shooting 53,8 percent from the floor and a blistering 51.4 percent from beyond the arc.

LaVine ended Monday's 127-117 victory over the Pistons with 43 points (16-28 FG, 8-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 45 minutes.

LaVine continued his recent scoring surge, tallying at least 25 points for the third straight game. His 43 points marked a season-high and powered the Kings to their third straight victory. Sacramento will need to do it the hard way should they hope to feature in the postseason, likely facing two play-in games. If LaVine can maintain his current momentum, perhaps they can pull off a couple of surprises.

LaVine ended Sunday's 120-113 win over the Cavaliers with 37 points (15-21 FG, 7-11 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 42 minutes.

LaVine caught fire from long distance, draining a game-high seven three-pointers while leading all scorers in Sunday's upset victory. After enduring a brief four-game cold spell in late March, the star swingman is heating back up over his last six outings. LaVine is shooting 55.3 percent from the field and 50.0 percent from beyond the arc during this period, logging 23.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 3.3 three-pointers per game.

LaVine supplied 25 points (9-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 125-102 win over the Hornets.

LaVine delivers most of his fantasy value in the scoring column, as he's one of the best pure offensive weapons in the NBA, but was active crashing the boards Friday and that resulted in his fourth double-double of the season. The 10 boards also matched his season-high mark in that category. LaVine is averaging 18.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game over his last eight games, but he's cleared the 20-point mark just twice in that span, and fantasy managers would certainly expect a bit more out of him in the final days of the regular season and with the Kings fighting for a Play-In berth.

LaVine logged 20 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Monday's 111-109 loss to Indiana.

LaVine led the way for Sacramento from three in Monday's outing, pacing all players in threes made while finishing as one of three Kings with 20 or more points in a losing effort. LaVine has connected on four or more threes in two of his last four contests, surpassing the 20-point mark for the second time in his last three appearances.

LaVine posted 10 points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists across 29 minutes during Saturday's 121-91 loss to the Magic.

LaVine essentially went down with the ship in Saturday's rout, tying for his fewest minutes in a game since joining the Kings. The star guard has been fairly quiet in late March, averaging 16.0 points, 3.7 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers in 35.0 minutes while shooting just 29.4 percent from deep and having reached the 20-point plateau only one time over his last six games.

LaVine posted 29 points (13-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds over 37 minutes during Thursday's 128-107 win over the Trail Blazers.

LaVine led the Kings in scoring Thursday, marking his 42nd outing with at least 20 points through 65 regular-season appearances. The star swingman didn't offer much outside of his scoring Thursday, though he shot the ball at an efficient clip. LaVine delivered a bounce-back performance against Portland, as he had averaged 14.3 points per game while shooting only 37.9 percent from the field in his previous four outings.

LaVine supplied eight points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five assists, one rebound and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 128-116 loss to the Bulls.

LaVine returned to action after missing Wednesday's win over Cleveland, tying his season-low mark in points in his first outing against his former team since having been traded. The star swingman struggled from three-point range against Chicago, though entering Thursday's contest he had shot an impressive 52.6 percent from beyond the arc in March. Over 10 appearances this month, LaVine has averaged 21.1 points, 3.6 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 3.1 three-pointers across 36.4 minutes per contest.

LaVine (personal) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Bulls.

LaVine will return to action Thursday to play his former team after missing Sacramento's previous contest due to personal reasons. The 29-year-old will likely reclaim his starting spot from Keon Ellis.

LaVine (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

LaVine hasn't missed a game since Feb. 3 but will be out of the lineup for the Kings on Wednesday due to personal reasons. The veteran scorer's absence will likely result in more time on the floor for Keon Ellis, Devin Carter and Keegan Murray against Cleveland.

LaVine went to the locker room during the first quarter of Monday's game against the Grizzlies after rolling his left ankle but has been cleared return, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

LaVine suffered the injury after stepping on Jaren Jackson's foot, though he appears to have avoided a significant injury. LaVine was spotted back on the bench after spending only a few minutes in the locker room, and he's since been given the green light to return to Monday's matchup.

LaVine chipped in 21 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 36 minutes during Friday's 122-106 loss to the Suns.

After failing to score 20 points in either of the prior two games while attempting only 16 total field goals, LaVine's shot volume started to creep up again Friday. The 30-year-old wing has drained at least one three-pointer in 16 straight contests since being blanked from beyond the arc in his Kings debut Feb, 5, and over that stretch LaVine has averaged 23.3 points, 4.1 boards, 3.8 assists, 3.2 threes and 0.8 steals while shooting an impressive 53.3 percent from the floor and 44.3 percent from long distance.

LaVine closed Thursday's 130-104 loss to the Warriors with 14 points (5-6 FG, 4-4 3Pt), three assists and one rebound over 32 minutes.

LaVine put up fewer than 10 shots for just the fourth time this season, and it's his first time not reaching 10-plus shot attempts over 16 outings with the Kings. The 30-year-old swingman was extremely efficient Thursday, and he hit at least four triples for the 25th time on the season. LaVine has scored 20 or more points in seven of his last 10 appearances, and in that 10-game span, he has averaged 23.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists across 36.1 minutes per game.

LaVine totaled 36 points (14-22 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes during Friday's 127-109 victory over San Antonio.

LaVine strutted his stuff in front of De'Aaron Fox, who failed to make an impact against his former team. Malik Monk's (toe) absence only enhanced LaVine's dominance in the backcourt, illustrating the obvious improvements made that involved shipping Fox out of town. LaVine shipped seven three-pointers in the decisive win, marking his second-highest total of the season beyond the arc. The Kings are 2-1 without Domantas Sabonis (hamstring), and excellent totals from LaVine and the rest of the starting five are keeping Sacramento's playoff hopes afloat.

LaVine finished with 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 win over the Rockets.

LaVine has reached the 20-point mark in seven of his 10 appearances with the Kings since being acquired in the deal that sent De'Aaron Fox to the Spurs, including the last three, and he's firmly established as one of the team's top scoring weapons alongside DeMar DeRozan and Domantas Sabonis (hamstring). LaVine is averaging 22.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game in Sactown.

LaVine produced 22 points (9-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt), eight rebounds and three assists in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 118-101 victory over the Jazz.

The 29-year-old wing has scored more than 20 points in six of nine games since being traded west by the Bulls, and he's drained multiple threes in five straight contests. Over the latter stretch, LaVine is averaging 26.4 points, 5.0 assists, 4.2 boards, 4.2 threes and 1.0 steals while shooting 54.0 percent from the floor and 47.7 percent (21-for-44) from beyond the arc.

LaVine had 42 points (16-19 FG, 8-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Monday's 130-88 win over Charlotte.

LaVine's 42 points mark a new season high, and this was the eighth time in his career that he knocked down at least eight shots from beyond the arc. In his first eight games with Sacramento, LaVine appears to be fitting in well with averages of 23.0 points, 4.4 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.8 three-pointers.

LaVine finished Friday's 132-108 loss to Golden State with 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes.

The Kings are slipping without De'Aaron Fox, and while Malik Monk's excellent play was a key factor in allowing Fox to leave, they also need big things from LaVine. So far, injuries and poor shooting have hampered his bottom line, an he regressed to his worst total as a King after posing a blistering 32 points in his last contest.

LaVine logged 32 points (12-24 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and three steals across 45 minutes during Thursday's 140-133 overtime loss to the Pelicans.

LaVine put on a show for Sacramento in Thursday's contest, putting forth his best outing in a Kings uniform thus far by leading all players in scoring, threes made, assists and steals in a well-rounded performance. LaVine matched a season-high assist total in the contest, a mark he has now recorded twice. He has surpassed the 30-point mark in 14 contests, his first with Sacramento.

LaVine posted 22 points (7-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 123-118 win over the Pelicans.

The 29-year-old wing produced 22 points for the second straight game as he begins to get comfortable with the Kings. LaVine has attempted 15.3 FGs, 5.7 FTs and 6.7 three-pointers a game in his three appearances for Sacramento so far, volume comparable to his usual usage in Chicago, which should be reassuring to GMs with fantasy shares in him who may have been worried how he would fit alongside Domantas Sabonis, DeMar DeRozan and Malik Monk.

LaVine registered 22 points (8-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes during Thursday's 108-102 loss to the Trail Blazers.

After a disappointing Kings debut Wednesday that included an 0-for-4 performance from three-point range, LaVine looked more comfortable in his second game with his new club. The 29-year-old wing is still trying to figure out how he best fits in the Sacramento lineup alongside DeMar DeRozan, Malik Monk and Domantas Sabonis, and he could eventually take on a bigger distribution role, but LaVine at least doesn't appear to be headed for a decline in his shot volume.

LaVine logged 13 points (4-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 130-111 loss to the Magic.

LaVine began his tenure in Sacramento with a tepid shooting night, effectively diluting the team's massive potential with the new addition. Domantas Sabonis was the only player to eclipse 20 points on the roster, so it was an exercise in futility for the majority of the game. Losing De'Aaron Fox will require a significant adjustment, and the Kings may experience some growing pains as they find the best way to implement LaVine.

LaVine (personal/recently traded) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Magic.

LaVine missed three straight contests due to personal reasons before being sidelined Monday due to his trade from Chicago to Sacramento still being finalized. However, it appears that the star forward will be able to make his Bulls debut Wednesday and should slide into the starting lineup.

LaVine (personal) won't be available for Monday's game at Minnesota, but the Kings anticipate him making his team debut Wednesday versus the Magic in Sacramento, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Though the Kings, Bulls and Spurs finalized a blockbuster deal Monday that De'Aaron Fox to San Antonio, neither of Sacramento's two pickups in the deal -- LaVine and Sidy Cissoko -- will be asked to make the trip to Minnesota on short notice. LaVine -- who had missed the Bulls' last three games prior to being traded after observing the birth of his child -- could operate under a slight playing-time restriction Wednesday, but once he gets fully integrated with his new team, he should cover nearly all of the 35-plus minutes that Fox routinely played.

The Kings acquired LaVine (personal) and three first-round picks in a multi-team trade involving the Bulls, Spurs and Kings, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

The full details remain unclear, but Charania notes many teams' involvement in a trade surrounding LaVine to the Kings and De'Aaron Fox to the Spurs. Rumors have been plentiful surrounding a potential trade for LaVine, who now reunites with former teammate DeMar Derozan with the Kings. LaVine has missed the last two games due to personal reasons, but should return to action in the near future. LaVine's fantasy outlook could be impacted alongside Sacramento's higher-usage players such as Malik Monk, Domantas Sabonis and Derozan, but he still figures to be a focal point offensely.

LaVine (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons.

As expected, LaVine has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a third straight game while he tends to a personal matter. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in Chicago against the Heat, while Coby White, Josh Giddey, Lonzo Ball and Ayo Dosunmu continue to start alongside Nikola Vucevic in a small-ball lineup for Bulls head coach Billy Donovan.

LaVine (personal) has been listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Pistons.

LaVine has missed the last two games for the Bulls as he tends to his pregnant wife, and the couple is expecting their third child. The veteran scorer has played well when on the floor for Chicago this season, averaging 24.0 points per game. In his absence, the team has gone with Coby White and Josh Giddey at small forward, with Ayo Dosunmu at the four spot.

LaVine (personal) will be out for "the next few games", Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

While it's unclear exactly how many games LaVine will miss while on paternity leave, the star swingman has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics and is likely to miss Chicago's upcoming three-game road trip, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports. Therefore, fantasy managers can look for LaVine to return to the Bulls' linuep for the Feb. 4 matchup with Miami. In his absence, Patrick Williams and Matas Buzelis are candidates to join the starting five.

LaVine accumulated 25 points (10-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-8 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 109-97 loss to the 76ers.

LaVine surpassed the 20-point mark for the fourth consecutive game, and he's achieved that feat in all but two of his appearances since the beginning of January, so there's no question the star forward is going through his most productive month of the season. It's unclear if that'll translate to a potential trade before the Feb. 6 deadline, but LaVine is certainly showing he still has a lot left in the tank. He's averaging 28.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game since the beginning of the new calendar year.

LaVine registered 24 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 9-12 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes during Thursday's 131-106 loss to Golden State.

LaVine surpassed the 20-point mark for the third straight contest, and he's achieved that feat in 10 of his 12 appearances this month. The star forward has been Chicago's most reliable scoring weapon over the last few weeks, both from a statistical and a consistency-based perspective, and he might experience an uptick in his usage rate if Coby White (ankle) misses extended time.

LaVine (knee) amassed a game-high 35 points (11-21 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 8-10 FT) and three rebounds in 34 minutes during Monday's 112-99 victory over the Clippers.

The Bulls were a bit shorthanded Monday, as the team was without Coby White (ankle) and Ayo Dosunmu (calf), but LaVine was able to play through a knee injury and pick up the slack in the form of a game-high 35 points. LaVine was also particularly aggressive attacking the basket, attempting a season-high 10 free throws, although it was just his second game of the season without tallying an assist. Fantasy managers should look for the star swingman to play a similar role if White remains out for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

LaVine (knee) will play Monday against the Clippers.

LaVine was added to the team's injury report as probable, so his availability is no great surprise. He's been putting together a strong month, averaging 28.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.3 steals over 10 appearances.

LaVine (knee) is probable for Monday's game against the Clippers.

LaVine continues to manage tendonitis in his right knee, but the Bulls are planning on him playing the second leg of this back-to-back for now. He logged a whopping 39 minutes Sunday against Portland, finishing with 27 points, five assists, four rebounds, one block, two steals and two triples.

LaVine totaled 27 points (10-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 39 minutes during Sunday's 113-102 loss to Portland.

The Bulls suffered a surprising defeat Sunday but LaVine still posted a solid stat line, as the veteran continues to play at an extremely high level with the Feb. 6 trade deadline only a few weeks away. LaVine has scored at least 25 points in eight of his 10 appearances this month, averaging 28.6 points per game while shooting 54.5 percent from the floor.

LaVine (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.

LaVine was deemed probable, so his availability Sunday isn't entirely surprising. He should handle a heavy workload on offense and will aim to maintain his solid stretch of play. He's averaging 28.8 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game since the beginning of January.

LaVine is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Trail Blazers due to right patella tendon tendinitis.

LaVine hasn't missed a game since Dec. 30 and isn't expected to do so Sunday despite dealing with a knee issue. In each of the star forward's nine appearances since the beginning of 2025, he has logged at least 31 minutes.

LaVine chipped in 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 125-123 loss to the Hornets.

LaVine finished as the team's second-highest scorer behind Nikola Vucevic in the loss, but his 19 points were slightly below his season average of 23.6 points. While he isn't posting career numbers, LaVine's perfect attendance record is encouraging considering his injury riddled 2023-24 campaign, where he was limited to only 23 games. The veteran's scoring totals jump around a bit, but LaVine is converting 51.4 percent of his shots through 37 games.

LaVine (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Hornets.

LaVine popped up as a late addition to Chicago's previous report with a questionable tag, but he'll give it a go despite being under the weather. He's been hot in January with averages of 30.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 3.0 three-pointers over his last eight games.

LaVine (illness) is questionable for Friday's game versus Charlotte.

LaVine was a very late addition to the injury report and fantasy managers will want to monitor this situation closely. If LaVine is ultimately held out, guys like Josh Giddey, Ayo Dosunmu, Lonzo Ball and Coby White would likely see an uptick in usage.

LaVine amassed a team-high 25 points (10-22 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 119-113 loss to the Pelicans.

The veteran wing saw his streak of games with at least 30 points end at six, but LaVine still delivered a strong performance. He's drained multiple three-pointers in all seven of those contests, averaging 32.1 points, 5.9 boards, 4.9 assists, 3.3 threes and 1.0 steals during that blistering stretch while shooting 56.2 percent from the floor and 48.9 percent from beyond the arc, and LaVine is doing everything he can to boost his trade value as he gets shopped around once again by the 18-22 Bulls.

LaVine closed Sunday's 124-119 loss to the Kings with 36 points (12-24 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 37 minutes.

LaVine did all he could to help Chicago come out on top Sunday, leading all Bulls players in scoring while connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three and concluding as one of two players with a double-double. LaVine has scored 35 or more points on four occasions this season, connecting on five or more threes in three of those four outings. He has been red-hot as of late, surpassing the 30-point mark in seven of his last eight contests and in six straight appearances.

LaVine racked up 33 points (14-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 138-105 win over the Wizards.

LaVine has reached the 30-point mark in each of his last five games, and the talented forward is having a renaissance season as a proven scoring threat, which might boost his potential trade value before the Feb. 6 deadline. LaVine is averaging 32.8 points per game over that aforementioned five-game stretch while also recording 30 or more points seven times over his last 10 appearances.

LaVine logged 31 points (12-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block in 35 minutes of action during Wednesday's 129-113 loss to the Pacers.

LaVine has been on fire of late, now averaging 32.8 points, 4.0 boards and 5.5 assists on 58.1 percent shooting over his last four games. His usage rating has skyrocketed so far this month, outpacing his fellow starters by a wide margin, which is a good sign for fantasy managers. He'll look to stay hot against the Wizards on Friday.

LaVine chipped in 35 points (13-25 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Monday's 114-110 win over San Antonio.

LaVine produced across the board, turning in his second double-double of the season with the help of a strong effort on the glass. He also posted a team-high 35 points, which marks his third straight game reaching the 30-point threshold. LaVine is averaging 30.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.4 assists over his last five appearances.

LaVine posted 32 points (12-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 125-107 loss to the Wizards.

The Bulls had a rough showing offensively as a team, but LaVine had a strong performance and led the team with an efficient 32-point output. The veteran forward, who was returning from a one-game absence due to a toe problem, has been playing well of late and has scored at least 30 points in three of his last six outings. He's achieved that feat five times in 11 games since the beginning of December as well.

LaVine (toe) is available for Wednesday night's game against the Wizards.

LaVine was sidelined for the Bulls' 115-108 win over the Hornets on Monday due to contusion on his left toe, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to play Wednesday. Across 10 games in December, LaVine averaged 22.0 points on 48.1 percent shooting (including 48.0 percent from three on 7.5 3PA/G), 4.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists over 32.7 minutes per game.

LaVine (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

LaVine missed Monday's win over the Hornets after initially being listed as probable and may miss a second straight game Wednesday. However, the star wing said before Monday's contest that he was planning to play against Washington, so the questionable tag could be misleading. Across 10 December appearances, LaVine averaged 22.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 0.9 steals in 32.7 minutes per game.

LaVine (toe) has been officially ruled out for Monday's game against the Hornets, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine's status has changed again before Monday's game against the Hornets. The veteran scorer will not play against Charlotte, with Talen Horton-Tucker and Coby White likely seeing a bump in minutes.

LaVine (toe) has been downgraded from probable to questionable for Monday's game against the Hornets.

LaVine was trending toward playing against the Hornets on Monday night. However, that has changed, which could result in more time on the floor for Talen Horton-Tucker and Coby White.

LaVine (toe) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Hornets.

LaVine is expected to play Monday while he deals with left toe soreness. Over his last five outings, the star swingman has averaged 23.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 0.6 steals across 33.6 minutes per contest.

LaVine racked up 37 points (14-25 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Thursday's 141-133 loss to the Hawks.

LaVine had scored just 28 points over his last two outings, but he bounced back Thursday with a game-high 37 points, 21 of which came from beyond the arc. It was LaVine's sixth 30-point outing of the regular season, but it wasn't enough as Chicago blew a 21-point lead and were outscored by 25 points in the fourth quarter. Since Dec. 1, LaVine has averaged 22.8 points on 48.6 percent shooting (including 49.3 percent from three on 7.9 3PA/G), 4.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.0 steals over 32.3 minutes per game.

LaVine amassed 36 points (11-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 8-9 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 33 minutes during Thursday's 117-108 victory over the Celtics.

LaVine was the main source of offense for the Bulls, with his game-high 36 points setting a new season-high mark and also leading all scorers in Thursday's upset win. Over his last seven games, the 29-year-old star guard is averaging 24.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 3.9 three-pointers per contest. LaVine's name has swirled around the rumor mill as it pertains to potential trade candidates this season, but he's thrived thus far as Chicago's top scoring option in 2024-25, shooting a career-high 43.5 percent from deep on the campaign as a whole.

LaVine (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Celtics, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports..

LaVine missed Monday's game with back spasms, but he'll be back in action for Thursday's tilt. Over his last six games, LaVine is averaging 22.2 points, 3.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 32.3 minutes. He should reclaim his spot in the starting lineup.

LaVine (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

LaVine has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss his first game since Nov. 7. Coach Billy Donovan doesn't think the back issue will be a long-term injury but said LaVine has been tight during recent days, so the hope is a few days off will get him back to 100 percent. LaVine's next chance to suit up will come Thursday in Boston, while Matas Buzelis, Julian Phillips and Talen Horton-Tucker are candidates for increased roles against the Raptors. Patrick Williams returned to action Friday against the Hornets following a 10-game absence, but he played only 14 minutes and figures to remain on minute restriction Monday.

LaVine (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Raptors.

LaVine continues to deal with back spasms but hasn't missed a game since Nov. 7, though he's usually listed as probable. Across five December appearances, he's averaged 20.8 points, 4.4 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 31.8 minutes per game.

LaVine (back) is available for Friday's game versus the Hornets, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

LaVine has been upgraded from probable to available Friday despite dealing with low back spasms. LaVine has been scorching the nets from behind the arc as of late, converting 44.4 percent of his 8.1 three-point attempts per contest over his last 10 outings.

LaVine is probable for Friday's game against the Hornets due to low back spasms.

LaVine hasn't missed a game since he was forced to sit in three straight contests due to a thigh injury, and it's unclear if the spasms will force him to sit Friday. The veteran has been playing at a high level of late, and his potential absence would hurt the Bulls offensively. LaVine is averaging 22.8 points, 4.4 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor over his last 10 appearances.

LaVine totaled 30 points (10-21 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Sunday's 108-100 loss to Philadelphia.

LaVine led all players in Sunday's contest in threes made while pacing the Bulls offensively in a 30-point showcase. LaVine shot his second-best mark from deep this season, with his season high in threes in a game occurring Nov. 11 when he had seven threes. LaVine has now tallied 30 or more points in four outings, including in two straight contests.

LaVine (back) is available for Friday's game against the Pacers.

LaVine is coming off an 11-point, nine-rebound, nine-assist outing in the win over the Spurs on Thursday. Despite the quick turnaround, the back tightness won't prevent him from handling his usual workload in the second leg of his back-to-back set. LaVine is averaging 20.6 points, 4.4 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game over his last 10 outings.

LaVine is probable for Friday's game against the Pacers due to low back tightness.

LaVine nearly posted a triple-double during Thursday's win over the Spurs, finishing with 11 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in 31 minutes. The back tightness is a new designation for LaVine, who previously dealt with a lingering adductor injury, but it shouldn't stop him from handling his usual workload in the second half of Chicago's back-to-back set.

LaVine logged 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and nine assists across 33 minutes during Thursday's 139-124 victory over the Spurs.

LaVine wasn't as explosive on the offensive side of the floor in Thursday's game, but he did a little bit of everything else and was one assist and rebound shy from registering the first triple-double of his NBA career. In his 14 outings since returning from a three-game absence due to an adductor strain, LaVine has averaged 20.6 points on 50.9 percent shooting (including 40.8 percent from three on 7.0 3PA/G), 5.1 assists and 4.1 rebounds over 32.8 minutes per contest.

LaVine closed Monday's 128-102 win over the Nets with 18 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists and one steal in 26 minutes.

LaVine had an outstanding showing in the loss to the Celtics on Nov. 29 after posting a 29-point effort, but he's failed to crack the 20-point mark in three of his last four appearances. He remains productive, but LaVine needs to score at a high rate to stay valuable in most fantasy formats, as he doesn't stand out in any other particular category

LaVine finished Friday's 138-129 loss to the Celtics with 29 points (11-22 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and one assist across 35 minutes.

LaVine bounced back admirably from his dreadful showing in the loss to the Magic on Wednesday, when he posted a season-low eight points while shooting 3-for-9 from the field. Despite that subpar outing, LaVine has been delivering solid numbers of late. He's scored at least 25 points in five of his last seven contests, averaging 23.1 points, 4.3 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game in that stretch.

LaVine registered 18 points (6-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and four assists across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 127-108 victory over the Wizards.

The veteran wing saw his streak of games with at least 25 points end at four, but LaVine still had another strong performance from long distance. Since missing about a week early in November with an adductor strain, LaVine has shot 43.5 percent (30-for-69) from beyond the arc while averaging 22.3 points, 4.7 assists, 4.2 boards, 3.0 threes and 0.8 steals in 10 contests.

LaVine racked up 29 points (10-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 142-131 loss to the Grizzlies.

LaVine had an efficient shooting performance, but given how good the veteran has looked this season in that department, that shouldn't surprise many fantasy managers. LaVine has scored at least 25 points in four games in a row, representing his longest streak of the season reaching that tally.

LaVine supplied 27 points (9-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds and six assists over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 122-106 loss to the Bucks.

The Bulls suffered a 16-point loss in this one and LaVine was the only Chicago player who reached the 20-point plateau. Scoring numbers aside, what's even more surprising from LaVine this season is his efficiency. The star guard is making 51.2 percent of his shots from the field and 42.9 percent of his threes in eight appearances since the beginning of November.

LaVine had 25 points (9-19 FG, 7-14 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 122-112 victory over the Pistons.

LaVine knocked down a season-high seven triples as the Bulls improved to 6-9 on the season. Despite Chicago's struggles, LaVine has been a bright spot with averages of 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 3.1 three-pointers through 12 appearances.

LaVine totaled 15 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 26 minutes during Sunday's 143-107 loss to the Rockets.

LaVine saw a shorter minute total Sunday due to the blowout nature of the game, but led all Bulls players in scoring while swiping a team-high-tying pair of steals and shooting a perfect mark from the free-throw line. LaVine matched a season-high in free throws made in a game, posting his ninth outing with at least 15 points.

LaVine closed Wednesday's 124-123 victory over the Knicks with 31 points (12-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-6 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes.

LaVine's 70.6 percent shooting from the field helped him post a season-high 31 points during Wednesday's win. The 29-year-old's eight dimes were also the most of his 2024-25 campaign. LaVine has displayed impressive efficiency this season, converting 42.6 percent of his 7.6 three-point attempts per contest.

LaVine (adductor) will start Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

As expected, LaVine has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up for a third straight game following a three-game absence due to an adductor strain. On Monday, LaVine posted 26 points, six rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes during a 119-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

LaVine is probable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to a right adductor strain.

LaVine is expected to suit up for a third straight contest following a three-game absence due to the right adductor strain. Over his previous two appearances, LaVine has averaged 22.0 points, 5.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 34.0 minutes per game.

LaVine amassed 26 points (12-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes during Monday's 119-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

LaVine got the green light to feature in this game after being listed as probable in the injury report due to an adductor injury, so it's safe to say his injury woes are a thing of the past. The veteran guard has been very productive for Chicago this season, reaching the 20-point mark in all but two of his eight contests while shooting an excellent 52 percent from the floor, as well as 41.7 percent from beyond the arc.

LaVine (adductor) is available for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

As expected, LaVine has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up for a second straight contest after a three-game absence due to an adductor strain. The veteran guard posted 18 points (7-12 FG), seven assists, two rebounds and a steal in 32 minutes during Chicago's win over the Hawks on Saturday.

LaVine (thigh/illness) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

LaVine had missed three games due to a thigh injury, but he returned Saturday against the Hawks and finished with 18 points, seven assists, two rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes. Unless he suffers a setback, he should be good to go for Monday's game, though he may continue to operate on a minutes restriction.

LaVine accumulated 18 points (7-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 125-113 victory over the Hawks.

The scoring figure wasn't eye-popping by any means, but LaVine was efficient with this shot -- despite his woes from three-point range -- and didn't look rusty after missing Chicago's previous three contests. The seven assists were a positive sign as well, and they represented a season-high mark in that category by a wide margin. LaVine should remain a solid fantasy contributor across all formats as long as he stays healthy, although most of his fantasy upside will be tied to what he can do as a scorer, even if he delivers solid numbers in other categories from time to time.

LaVine (thigh) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

LaVine has missed the Bulls' last three games due to a thigh injury, but he will make his return Saturday. His return will help bolster a Bulls' offense that is in the midst of a four-game losing streak. Through the first six games of the 2024-25 regular season, LaVine is averaging 22.7 points on 49.5 percent shooting, 5.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists over 34.8 minutes per contest.

LaVine (thigh) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Hawks.

LaVine is in danger of missing his fourth straight contest while dealing with a right adductor strain. If LaVine is ultimately downgraded to out yet again, Ayo Dosunmu should draw another start.

LaVine is out for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves due to an adductor strain, head coach Billy Donovan told Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com.

This is a huge blow for the Bulls, as LaVine has been one of their most consistent scorers in the early stages of the season. However, Donovan said the injury is just tightness and not a strain, so it shouldn't keep him sidelined for an extended period. Ayo Dosunmu could get the start at small forward with LaVine sidelined.

LaVine (thigh) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game versus the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

LaVine is expected to miss his third straight contest Thursday while dealing with a right adductor strain. Until LaVine is able to return, Ayo Dosunmu will likely continue to start.

LaVine (thigh) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Lavine will miss a second consecutive game due to a right adductor strain. Ayo Dosunmu is slated to replace LaVine in the starting lineup while Dalen Terry and Talen Horton-Tucker could see more minutes off the bench. LaVine's next chance to play will come Thursday against Minnesota.

LaVine (thigh) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.

LaVine is in danger of missing a second straight game due to a right adductor strain. If he's sidelined again, Ayo Dosunmo would likely draw another start.

LaVine (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine has been able to play through a left shoulder sprain, but he is now dealing with a right adductor strain which will keep him sidelined Monday. It's unclear whether the injury is considered long-term, but LaVine's next chance at suiting up will be against the Mavericks on Wednesday. Ayo Dosunmu and Dalen Terry should see increased playing time while LaVine is sidelined.

LaVine is questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz due to a right adductor strain, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

This is a new injury for LaVine, who was previously dealing with a sprained left shoulder. He's scored at least 20 points in five of the first six regular-season games, averaging 22.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 34.8 minutes per game. If he's sidelined, Ayo Dosunmu would likely be the primary beneficiary.

LaVine finished with 21 points (7-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 120-112 loss to the Nets.

LaVine and Coby White finished second on the Bulls in scoring Friday behind Nikola Vucevic (28). LaVine is playing through a left shoulder sprain, but that didn't slow him down Friday as he scored 21-plus points for the fifth time in six regular-season outings. For the season, LaVine is averaging 22.7 points on 49.5 percent shooting, 5.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists over 34.7 minutes per game.

Coach Billy Donovan said LaVine (shoulder) is good to go for Friday's game versus the Nets, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

LaVine sustained the injury in Wednesday's win over Orlando, though the consensus is he avoided a major injury and won't miss any time. The 29-year-old has appeared in all of the Bulls' five regular-season outings, during which he has averaged 23.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 combined steals-plus-blocks across 35.0 minutes per game.

LaVine is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Nets due to an acromioclavicular sprain in his left shoulder, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

While LaVine avoided a significant injury against Orlando, he is in danger of missing his first contest of the season Friday. If LaVine is unable to suit up, Dalen Terry, Matas Buzelis and Ayo Dosunmu are candidates to receive increased playing time.

X-rays on LaVine's left shoulder came back negative after Wednesday's 102-99 win over the Magic, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports.

LaVine played through left shoulder discomfort Wednesday and had X-rays done postgame. Encouragingly, the X-rays came back negative, but LaVine should be considered day-to-day moving forward. He tallied 11 points (2-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and a steal across 36 minutes Wednesday. The Bulls' next game comes Friday at Brooklyn.

LaVine recorded 30 points (12-22 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 126-123 victory over the Grizzlies.

LaVine was extremely efficient Monday and carried the Bulls to a tight win over Memphis by leading the team in scoring. LaVine is not expected to play the whole year with Chicago, and if he continues to play at this level, the trade rumors centered around the veteran guard should start to get louder as the season advances. LaVine is doing his part to show he can still contribute at a high level, as he's averaging 26.0 points per game in his first four outings while shooting 55.2 percent from the field and 45.7 percent from deep.

LaVine posted 22 points (6-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block across 34 minutes in Saturday's 114-95 loss to the Thunder.

LaVine's scoring numbers have decreased slightly with each passing game after he opened the 2024-25 campaign with a 27-point effort against the Pelicans. However, fantasy managers shouldn't be worried, as LaVine has surpassed the 20-point mark while grabbing at least five rebounds in each of his three contests thus far. His role as one of the Bulls' main offensive weapons is not under any sort of threat, particularly as he needs to rebuild his value to become an attractive trade chip as the season unfolds.

LaVine closed Friday's 133-122 win over the Bucks with 25 points (9-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 33 minutes.

Coby White stole the show with his 35-point performance Friday, but LaVine posted a solid line in his own right, showing an efficient touch for the floor to open the 2024-25 campaign with at least 25 points in his first two contests. LaVine is one of the top candidates to be traded before the deadline, so expect him to try and re-establish his trade value in the first few months of the regular season. That should lead him to the 29-year-old playing a prominent role as a scoring weapon in Chicago, probably as the go-to option ahead of White and Nikola Vucevic.

LaVine closed Wednesday's 123-111 loss to New Orleans with 27 points (10-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 37 minutes.

The veteran wing led the Bulls in scoring in their season opener, and LaVine looked fully recovered from the foot injury that cost him the last three months of the 2023-24 campaign. Trade rumors are likely to be swirling around him as Chicago continues the rebuild that began when DeMar DeRozan was shipped to Sacramento this offseason, and if LaVine stay healthy and productive it can only improve his market value. Prior to last year's injury woes, he'd averaged better than 24.0 points and 2.5 threes a game for four straight seasons.

LaVine logged 19 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists and a steal across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 125-123 preseason win over the Timberwolves.

LaVine looks like his old self, which is great news for the team as they move forward without DeMar DeRozan. LaVine's foot injury limited him to 25 games last season, but he shows no ill effects from the injury at the moment. Assuming a full recovery, LaVine should be a fixture with the first unit when the regular season commences.

LaVine (rest) is active for Wednesday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

LaVine took a seat for Monday's preseason game against Milwaukee but will return to action Wednesday. The veteran shooting guard made only 25 regular-season appearances last year and is looking for a bounce-back campaign.

LaVine won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Bucks due to rest purposes, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

The Bulls neglected to report any kind of injury for the star forward, so this appears to be a standard rest night. LaVine will have another chance to appear in preseason action Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

LaVine finished with 28 points (9-12 FG, 6-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists and two steals across 22 minutes in Saturday's 124-121 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.

LaVine was deadly from beyond the arc and was extremely efficient as a scorer, but his efforts were not enough to lift the Bulls to a win in this matchup. Chicago has three games left before the start of the campaign, but LaVine already looks to be in form to start the campaign. The Bulls will certainly benefit if LaVine opens the regular season on a tear, especially if they look to trade him before the deadline.

Bulls vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas said Wednesday that LaVine (foot) has been "fully cleared" after undergoing surgery in February, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

LaVine had surgery on his right foot in early February with a recovery timetable of 4-to-6 months. A little over four months removed from the procedure, LaVine has been fully cleared and should be a full-go for training camp. The 28-year-old appeared in just 25 games during 2023-24 due to a few injuries, including the right foot issue that lingered throughout the campaign before February's shut down. He averaged fewer than 20 points and four assists per for the first time since 2017 last year.

LaVine underwent season-ending surgery on his right foot Thursday, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

LaVine's need for a procedure was announced last week, and Bulls vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas said Thursday that the 28-year-old remains on a recovery timetable of 4-to-6 months following his procedure. LaVine wasn't traded by Chicago ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, which wasn't particularly surprising given his limited trade value due to his season-ending injury. He'll now shift his focus toward his lengthy recovery process, but it seems likely that he'll be ready to return to the court for training camp ahead of the 2024-25 season.

The Bulls announced Saturday that LaVine will undergo season-ending surgery on his right foot.

This is a brutal blow for LaVine and the Bulls, as the guard had several setbacks with his foot this season. The Bulls expect LaVine to be sidelined 4-to-6 months, meaning he should be ready in time for training camp ahead of the 2024-25 season. He'll end the season with averages of 19.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.4 three-pointers on 45.2 percent shooting from the field and 85.4 percent from the line. Coby White, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic will continue to see a bump in usage for the remainder of the season, and Ayo Dosunmu and Alex Caruso will likely see their fantasy appeal trend up.

Coach Billy Donovan said Friday that LaVine (foot) will miss at least another week of game action, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Donovan said that LaVine's right ankle sprain has healed, but the 28-year-old is dealing with discomfort in his right foot, the same issue that forced him to miss 17 games earlier this season. As a result, LaVine will be unavailable for at least three more matchups. Ayo Dosunmu should continue to see additional playing time while LaVine is sidelined.

LaVine (ankle) will miss at least another week of action, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

LaVine has been sidelined since spraining his right ankle back on Jan. 18, but his right foot is also bothering him and is related to a previous issue. Coach Billy Donovan said LaVine would be re-evaluated in another week, meaning the earliest he could see the floor is Feb. 3 against the Kings. Ayo Dosunmu has averaged 30.0 minutes over his last three games and will likely continue to see an uptick in playing time.

LaVine is expected to miss one-to-two with his right ankle sprain, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

LaVine suffered this injury during Thursday's game against Toronto, and based on this timetable, he'll miss at least three games for the Bulls. Whether he's able to return on Jan. 28 against Portland remains to be seen. While LaVine is sidelined, there will be more usage for DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic to soak up, and guys like Ayo Dosunmu and Patrick Williams (ankle) will have more opportunities.

LaVine is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies due to a right ankle sprain.

LaVine sustained an ankle injury Thursday and will likely miss at least one game after being diagnosed with a sprain. Patrick Williams (ankle) and Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) are candidates to take on increased roles against Memphis.

LaVine left Thursday's game against the Raptors for a second time with a right ankle issue and never returned. He finished with eight points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three assists, two rebounds and two turnovers in 24 minutes.

LaVine rolled his ankle at the beginning of the third quarter, but he briefly returned to the game before checking out for good with 7:23 remaining in the fourth quarter. He clearly looked uncomfortable out there, and it's possible he could miss some time. For now, LaVine should be considered questionable for Saturday against the Grizzlies. Ayo Dosunmu would likely take on a larger role if LaVine ends up sitting.

LaVine (ankle) is available to return to Thursday's game against the Raptors, Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic reports.

LaVine rolled his ankle with 10:39 left in the third quarter and limped to the locker room in discomfort, but the TNT broadcast announced that he would be available to return after just a few minutes. For now, it appears that he's going to be fine.

LaVine appeared to tweak his right ankle during Thursday's game against the Raptors and went to the locker room, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

LaVine was driving to the basket and rolled his right ankle pretty good. He limped straight to the locker room with 10:39 left in the third quarter and wasn't putting much weight on it. The Bulls haven't released anything official, so should be considered questionable to return at best.

LaVine closed Monday's 109-91 loss to the Cavaliers with 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists over 35 minutes.

LaVine has failed to reach the 20-point mark in his last two games, and even though he holds a prominent role on offense, a decrease in his numbers is expected given he shares the offense with two other dominant ballhandlers in DeMar DeRozan and Coby White. LaVine has been efficient despite the slight drop-off in numbers, though, as he's shooting 51.9 percent from the field in his last four contests since returning to a starting role.

LaVine recorded 25 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals over 41 minutes during Wednesday's 124-119 overtime victory over Houston.

LaVine started for the first time since Nov. 28 and looked impressive across the board, hitting the 20-point mark and ending just three assists away from a triple-double. Don't expect him to be so active in secondary categories outside of scoring in the coming games, but his return to the starting lineup should take away touches and minutes from several role players, such as Jevon Carter, Ayo Dosunmu and even Patrick Williams, going forward.

Coach Billy Donovan said LaVine's (foot) restrictions have been lifted, and the shooting guard will return to the starting lineup Wednesday against the Rockets, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine operated off the bench in back-to-back contests following a 17-game absence, but he'll return to the starting lineup Wednesday for the first time since Nov. 28. LaVine played 36 minutes in Monday's win in Charlotte, posting nine points (2-8 FG), five assists, three rebounds and two blocks.

LaVine is questionable to play Wednesday against Houston due to right shoulder soreness and right foot inflammation.

LaVine carried both injury designations into Monday's game against Charlotte prior to logging a full 36-minute workload, so his presence on Tuesday's injury report could be maintenance related. However, Chicago could opt to ramp him up cautiously after a 17-game absence due to inflammation/soreness in his right foot. More light will be shed on his status throughout Chicago's pre-game routines Wednesday.

LaVine (foot/shoulder) is available for Monday's game against the Hornets.

After a premature update cleared LaVine, coach Billy Donovan walked back his claim and said the shooting guard would need to go through pregame warmups before being deemed available. It seems like everything went as planned, so LaVine will suit up for a second straight contest following a 17-game absence. However, he'll operate off the bench again, as Alex Caruso will get the starting nod, and LaVine is expected to have his minutes monitored, though he played 30 minutes in Saturday's win over Charlotte.

LaVine (foot/shoulder) is a game-time decision for Monday's matchup against the Hornets, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.

A previous report suggested LaVine would be able to suit up with a minutes restriction Monday, but he'll need to test things out in pregame warmups before the Bulls officially determine his status. However, even if he's available, he'll have his workload monitored as he continues to work on his conditioning.

Coach Billy Donovan said LaVine (foot/shoulder) will play Monday against the Hornets but will still be on a minute restriction, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

LaVine returned to action Saturday following a 17-game absence, totaling 15 points (6-11 FG), five rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes off the bench. He may move back into the starting lineup Monday, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to play more than 30 minutes during Chicago's rematch against Charlotte.

LaVine (foot/shoulder) is questionable for Monday's game against the Hornets.

LaVine was initially listed as probable due to right foot inflammation, but he has been downgraded to questionable and is now being listed with right shoulder soreness, as well. This is a concerning development for LaVine, who returned to action Saturday following a 17-game absence. If LaVine is ruled out, Ayo Dosunmu and Jevon Carter would be candidates for increased roles.

LaVine is probable for Monday's game against the Hornets due to right foot inflammation.

LaVine returned to action Friday following a 17-game absence due to a right foot injury. He operated off the bench, along with Nikola Vucevic (groin), and posted 16 points (6-11 FG), five rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes. LaVine and Vucevic are both expected to suit up Monday and will presumably return to the starting lineup.

LaVine finished with 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 30 minutes during Friday's 104-91 win over the Hornets.

LaVine returned to the hardwood after a 17-game absence, and while he came off the bench, he still logged 30 minutes, meaning it shouldn't only be a matter of time before he returns to his regular starting role. He didn't look rusty despite missing more than a month, and he could be in line for handling a bigger workload when the Bulls once again take on the Hornets, this time on the road, next Monday.

LaVine (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Hornets, but he'll be on a minutes restriction and operate off the bench, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine will make his first appearance since Nov. 28 and operate off the bench for the first time since 2018-19. Nikola Vucevic (groin) will also return from a multi-game absence and operate as a reserve. The Bulls have been playing well in the absence of LaVine and Vucevic, due in large part to contributions from Coby White and Andre Drummond, so it'll be interesting to see how coach Billy Donovan opts to reintegrate LaVine and Vucevic into the rotation. LaVine will reportedly play between 25 and 30 minutes against Charlotte.

LaVine (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets.

LaVine has missed over a month due to a foot injury, but he's been ramping up his participation in practice recently. He'll be in the mix to return for Friday's matchup, but it's unclear whether the Bulls feel comfortable bringing him back or whether they'd rather exercise caution. If LaVine returns to game action Friday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him face a minutes restriction despite his recent strides.

Coach Billy Donovan said Tuesday that LaVine (foot) is ramping up his participation during practices with the team's G League affiliate, and the strides he's made are "very positive," K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Per Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com, Donovan "doesn't want to rule out" LaVine returning as soon as Friday's game against Charlotte, but realistically, the shooting guard will be back within the next week, barring a setback. LaVine will miss his 16th straight game Tuesday and may be sidelined for a few more, but his return appears imminent.

LaVine (foot) will miss Chicago's upcoming back-to-back set, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports reports.

The Bulls hit the road to face the 76ers on Tuesday followed by a game against the Knicks on Wednesday, but LaVine will remain in Chicago to focus on his injury rehab. He recently started to ramp up his on-court work and that includes some cutting and sprinting. Based on LaVine's initial timetable of 3-to-4 weeks, it's possible he could return as soon as Jan. 5 against the Hornets, but it's not a certainty by any means.

LaVine (foot) has begun to ramp up his on-court work, but he still doesn't have a firm return timetable, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

LaVine progressed to cutting and lateral movements during the Bulls' most recent practice, and coach Billy Donovan said the star shooting guard has responded well so far. Chicago has fought back into the playoff picture during LaVine's absence, going 9-4 over the last 13 games, but his presence would certainly give the team a boost offensively. LaVine's potential return is also important to the trade market, as he's considered one of the more likely players to be moved ahead of the February deadline.

Coach Billy Donovan said Monday that LaVine (foot) is still on track with the 3-to-4-week return timetable that the team provided Dec. 6, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

LaVine, who received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his right foot Dec. 7, has been able to shoot and jog in a straight line during recent practices, but he hasn't progressed to cutting yet. The Bulls should provide another update after Christmas. In the meantime, Coby White will continue to start and garner heavy usage in Chicago's backcourt.

LaVine received a PRP injection in his right foot Thursday and won't travel with the Bulls for their upcoming road trip, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine was attempting to return to action for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, but he wasn't able to ramp up due to inflammation on the right side of his right foot that was worsening. After being re-evaluated, the 28-year-old is expected to miss another 3-4 weeks while he recovers. LaVine insisted Thursday that his upcoming absence has nothing to do with his recent interest in seeking a trade, and the hope is that his PRP injection will help the inflammation subside.

The Bulls announced Wednesday that LaVine (foot) will miss an estimated three to four more weeks.

LaVine has missed three straight games with right foot inflammation -- an issue that didn't appear to be serious initially -- the injury will likely keep LaVine sidelined for multiple weeks. In his absence, expect Alex Caruso to remain in the starting lineup while Ayo Dosunmu and Jevon Carter see more action off the bench. Assuming LaVine can return in exactly three weeks, his next chance to play would come on Dec. 28 against Indiana. However, given the touchy nature of the injury, fantasy managers should keep an eye out for progress updates as LaVine approaches the three-week mark.

LaVine (foot) will be out for Saturday's game against the Pelicans and is expected to be sidelined for at least the next week, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

The 28-year-old sat out Thursday's win over the Bucks with foot soreness and is expected to miss at least two additional games. LaVine's next chance to take the court should come Dec. 8 in San Antonio. Alex Caruso, Ayo Dosunmu and Jevon Carter should have expanded roles in LaVine's absence.

LaVine (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine exited Tuesday's game against the Celtics due to right foot soreness and will be forced to miss at least one additional matchup. Alex Caruso (toe) will be available and could see an uptick in work Thursday, while Ayo Dosunmu and Jevon Carter are also candidates to see increased run.

LaVine (foot) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bucks.

LaVine is dealing with right foot soreness after exiting Tuesday's game against the Celtics, and it's unclear whether he'll be available Thursday. If he's sidelined, Alex Caruso (toe), Ayo Dosunmu and Jevon Carter are candidates to see increased playing time.

LaVine won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Celtics due to a right foot injury, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.

LaVine had a lackluster night before exiting with an injury, tallying two points, four assists, two rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes. Alex Caruso, Ayo Dosunmu and Jevon Carter are all candidates to receive increased minutes in his absence. LaVine's status for Thursday's matchup with Milwaukee is uncertain.

LaVine (foot) is available for Tuesday's game against the Celtics, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

LaVine and Alex Caruso (toe) have both been upgraded from questionable to available and will likely start Tuesday. LaVine has missed just one game this season, averaging 22.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.9 steals in 35.9 minutes per game.

LaVine (foot) remains questionable for Tuesday's game against Boston, but he is present for morning shootaround, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

LaVine logged a full workload in Sunday's loss to Brooklyn, posting 20 points in 39 minutes. He has missed just one game this season while averaging 35.9 minutes per game across 17 starts, and he's trending in the right direction for Tuesday despite lingering foot soreness.

LaVine is questionable for Tuesday's game against Boston due to right foot soreness.

LaVine has been battling a foot issue since Nov. 21, but since missing a game on Nov. 22, he has played through two straight questionable tags. He averaged 28.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.5 three-pointers in those two games, so the foot injury hasn't slowed him down much.

LaVine (foot) will play in Sunday's game against the Nets, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

LaVine has been dealing with a foot injury that caused him to sit out of Wednesday's game against the Thunder, but he will be available on Sunday against Brooklyn. LaVine has averaged 23.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 37.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

LaVine is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Nets due to right foot soreness.

LaVine continues to deal with a nagging foot injury that could cause him to miss his second game of the season. If he's ruled out, Ayo Dosunmu and Jevon Carter would be candidates to receive extended minutes.

LaVine ended Friday's 121-108 loss to Toronto with 36 points (16-23 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 38 minutes.

LaVine was unable to play Wednesday and came into Friday's game with a questionable tag due to a foot injury, but he powered through for one of his best performances of the season. Unfortunately for the Bulls, they dropped their fifth game out of their last six. With the Bulls struggling out of the gates this season with a 5-12 record, it's no wonder LaVine keeps seeing his name in the rumor mill.

LaVine (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

LaVine was a late scratch ahead of Wednesday's loss to the Thunder, but he'll return to action Friday. Over his last 13 appearances, LaVine has averaged 22.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 36.2 minutes per game.

LaVine (foot), who is questionable for Friday's game at the Raptors, participated in morning shootaround, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine was a surprising scratch for Wednesday's loss to the Thunder, but it appears he's trending toward playing Friday, which is an In-Season Tournament game -- both the Bulls and Raptors being 0-2 in East Group C. However, if LaVine is absent again, Patrick Williams could draw a second straight start.

LaVine (foot) is questionable to play Friday against the Raptors.

LaVine has been dealing with foot soreness, and the injury was severe enough to keep him sidelined in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder. If he can't go against the Raptors, this would open up more touches for the DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic duo. Meanwhile, Jevon Carter, Ayo Dosunmu and Patrick Williams should all benefit from an uptick in playing time.

LaVine (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Despite being listed as probable, LaVine will not play Wednesday due to ongoing foot soreness. This will be the shooting guard's first absence of the season, opening up more playing time for Jevon Carter, Ayo Dosunmu and Patrick Williams. However, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic will presumably lead Chicago's offensive versus Oklahoma City.

LaVine (foot) is probable for Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City.

LaVine is dealing with right foot soreness. He has yet to miss a game this season and logged a full workload in Monday's loss Miami, which puts him on track to play Wednesday.

LaVine amassed 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 102-97 win over the Heat.

LaVine attempted a season-low 10 shots and scored his fewest points since Oct. 27. However, he salvaged his production by dishing out at least five assists for just the fourth time this year and recording a season-high three steals. He also added a block, marking his second game with at least a block and steal. LaVine has yet to miss a game this season, averaging 22.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 0.9 steals in 35.6 minutes per game across 13 appearances.

LaVine finished with 34 points (12-20 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals across 41 minutes during Friday's 103-97 loss to the Magic.

LaVine has been heavily linked with a trade away from the Bulls, but regardless of what happens with his future, the talented guard remains a reliable scoring threat who should be serviceable in all fantasy formats. LaVine has scored at least 20 points in four of his last six outings and is averaging 21.8 points per game in November.

LaVine totaled 19 points (6-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 96-94 loss to the Magic.

LaVine led all scorers with 19 points, a strong indication that this game was far from spectacular. The subject of recent trade rumors, LaVine has been inconsistent this season, barely inside the top 100 in standard fantasy formats. The Bulls are currently weighing up a few things, not the least of which is their direction moving forward. At this point, managers simply need to hold LaVine and see where things go, be it in Chicago or elsewhere around the league.

LaVine posted 22 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Wednesday's 116-115 overtime loss to the Suns.

LaVine seems to have left his 12-point outing against the Nuggets on the rearview and has bounced back with back-to-back games with at least 20 points, though this was one of his best outings of the season in terms of efficiency. LaVine has reached the 20-point plateau in seven of his last six outings, and while his numbers remain inflated by the 51-point outburst he had against the Pistons, he's still averaging a decent 22.4 points per contest to start the campaign.

LaVine ended Saturday's 123-101 loss to the Nuggets with 12 points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes.

LaVine failed to produce offensively and lacked the aggressiveness that has fueled strong results to this point. Morale might be running low for the 2-5 Bulls, although the top-heavy offensive burden on LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Nikola Vucevic is not dynamic enough to withstand high-quality opponents. The Bulls were outscored by 24 points in the second half.

LaVine (back) is available and starting to face the Nuggets on Saturday.

The Bulls were confident in LaVine's availability here, so his presence in this contest against the reigning champions is not a big surprise. Even with DeMar DeRozan available as well, LaVine should be one of the Bulls' focal points on offense.

LaVine (back) is probable for Saturday's game versus the Nuggets.

LaVine has yet to miss a game this season despite dealing with bilateral low back spasms. With DeMar DeRozan (rest) questionable, LaVine could be in line to be the focal point of Chicago's offense Saturday.

LaVine ended with 24 points (10-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 109-107 loss to the Nets.

LaVine continues to play through a nagging back injury and tied with DeMar DeRozan for a team-high 24 points. LaVine matched his highest minutes total of the season and set season highs with seven rebounds and five assists.

LaVine (back) is available for Friday's game versus the Nets, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.comreports.

LaVine has been upgraded from probable to available Friday despite dealing with a nagging back injury. The star guard is averaging 24.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 34.4 minutes across his first five appearances this season.

LaVine (back) is probable for Friday's game against the Nets.

LaVine tweaked his back on Oct. 27 and has been playing through probable tags ever since. It's worth mentioning that Friday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Bulls may keep a close eye on his workload.

LaVine (back) is available for Wednesday's game versus the the Mavericks.

LaVine has been upgraded from probable to available Wednesday despite dealing with back soreness. The star guard is averaging 24.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 34.0 minutes in his first four appearances this season.

LaVine (back) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.

LaVine will likely continue to play through a minor back issue. It hasn't slowed him down recently, as he's posed 51 and 23 points in his last two contests, respectively.

LaVine posted 23 points (6-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 10-11 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 36 minutes during Monday's 112-105 victory over the Pacers.

LaVine didn't repeat the 51-point performance he delivered Saturday against the Pistons, but he had another solid outing despite the shooting woes. The efficiency struggles have been quite an issue for one of the best pure scorers in The Association, as LaVine is averaging 24.5 points per game through four contests while shooting a meager 40.0 percent from the field and 29.4 percent from deep.

LaVine (back) is available for Monday's game against the Pacers.

LaVine was probable for Monday's matchup, so his availability doesn't come as a major surprise. The 28-year-old is coming off a stellar performance in which he tallied 51 points, four rebounds and a steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Pistons.

LaVine (back) is probable for Monday's game against Indiana, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine carried a probable designation into his 51-point explosion Saturday versus the Pistons, so his presence on the injury report isn't a new development. Although carrying the Bulls offense may have been taxing, no setback was reported from Saturday's game.

LaVine amassed 51 points (19-33 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 118-102 loss to Detroit.

LaVine scored 50 percent of the Bulls' total 102-point haul and delivered a career-best scoring mark, but his efforts were not enough to lift the Bulls to victory on the road against a rebuilding Pistons team that looked surprisingly good in this one. This was a much-improved effort compared to his previous two outings, as LaVine didn't score more than 16 points in those contests against the Thunder and Raptors.

LaVine (back) plans to play and give it a go Saturday against the Pistons, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

It's unclear whether the star guard will have any sort of restriction, and the coaching staff will be looking at him closely. At this stage and with tip-off approaching quickly, all signs point to LaVine being available.

LaVine (back) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Detroit.

LaVine has been downgraded from probable to out due to a back injury, which is a bad sign of his availability Saturday. If he's ruled out, Jevon Carter, Ayo Dosunmu and Alex Caruso are all candidates to receive extended minutes.

LaVine is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus Detroit.

LaVine tweaked his back Friday but is expected to suit up against the Pistons. The 28-year-old guard has gotten off to a slow start this season, averaging 12.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 31.5 minutes across his first two outings. However, LaVine will certainly shoot better than 23.3 percent from the field and 13.3 percent from three and should continue to be a focal point of the Bulls' offense.

LaVine tweaked his back and is questionable for Saturday's game against Detroit, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

LaVine said he was in pain during Friday's overtime win against Toronto, a game in which he scored just eight points while shooting 3-of-14 from the field. If LaVine is unable to play on the second leg of the back-to-back, we could see more of Jevon Carter and Ayo Dosunmu.

LaVine (illness) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's season opener against the Thunder.

LaVine is set to play in Wednesday's season opener after missing Chicago's preseason finale with an illness. The star guard was the Bulls' leading scorer last season (24.8 ppg), narrowly edging out DeMar DeRozan (24.5 ppg).

LaVine has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against Minnesota due to an illness, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

LaVine appeared in Tuesday's exhibition game against the Raptors after resting Sunday, but he'll be unavailable for the Bulls' preseason finale. However, it seems likely that he'll be back in action for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Oklahoma City.

LaVine (rest) is in the starting five for Tuesday's preseason game versus the Raptors.

LaVine will return to the lineup Tuesday after resting in Sunday's preseason contest. He will replace Ayo Dosunmu in the starting lineup.

LaVine will not play in Sunday's exhibition against the Nuggets, Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports reports.

LaVine is one of four Bulls starters being held out of Sunday's preseason contest for rest purposes. His next opportunity to suit up is Tuesday against Toronto.

LaVine totaled 17 points (8-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and three steals in 23 minutes during Thursday's 133-124 double-overtime win over the Nuggets.

LaVine was a limited contributor during the Bulls' preseason opener, but he saw an uptick in playing time Thursday and put together a well-rounded stat line in the double-overtime victory. The 28-year-old made 77 appearances for Chicago last year and averaged 24.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 35.9 minutes per game.

LaVine supplied 15 points (6-21 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 41 minutes during Friday's 102-91 play-in game loss to the Heat.

LaVine picked a bad time to go cold from the floor, ending Friday's loss with 15 points on 6-of-21 shooting. While the rest of his teammates were relatively efficient, LaVine couldn't find any rhythm, ultimately leading to the Bulls being ousted from the postseason.

LaVine finished Wednesday's 109-105 play-in game victory over Toronto with 39 points (12-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 13-15 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 40 minutes.

LaVine was outstanding Wednesday and kept the Bulls' season alive, leading a second-half comeback and ending as Chicago's top scorer in this must-win contest. The Bulls will play the Heat on Friday with the eighth seed on the line, and LaVine should be one of Chicago's go-to players on offense once again. To note, this was the fourth time he cleared the 30-point mark across his last 10 outings.

LaVine (knee) will be available for Sunday's game against the Pistons, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine was doubtful to feature due to injury management on his left knee and took the night off Friday against the Mavericks, but the Bulls have decided to play him either way. That said, it remains to be seen how much he'll feature, as head coach Billy Donovan said the starters wouldn't handle their usual workloads in this one. LaVine's limited involvement could open up opportunities for Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu.

LaVine is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons due to left knee injury management, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine took the night off Friday against the Mavericks and could take Sunday off as well. With the Bulls locked into a play-in matchup with the Raptors, the team could opt to give LaVine the extra time to heal up. If that's the case, Patrick Williams, Dalen Terry and Javonte Green could see increased run.

LaVine (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.

LaVine was questionable ahead of Friday's matchup and will be one of several Bulls sitting out in the penultimate game of the regular season. Patrick Williams, Javonte Green and Derrick Jones are candidates to see increased run against the shorthanded Mavericks.

LaVine is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Mavericks for rest purposes.

LaVine has struggled to connect from deep over the last pair of contests, hitting just a combined two on 15 attempts. With the Bulls locked into the 10 seed in the East, LaVine and DeMar DeRozan are both potentially getting a rest night Friday. If that's the case, Patrick Williams should draw another start and Derrick Jones and Javonte Green, among others, are candidates to see some more minutes.

LaVine notched 13 points (5-17 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one block in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 105-92 loss to the Bucks.

LaVine is now 2-for-15 from beyond the arc over his last two games, and he's failed to hit a triple of three of the Bulls' last nine games. However, he's a versatile, veteran scorer, still averaging a strong 22.8 points and 6.2 assists across his last five games.

LaVine accumulated 36 points (13-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 128-107 victory over Memphis.

LaVine had a monster second half to help lead the Bulls to a comeback win Sunday. LaVine had 24 of his 36 points in the second half, shooting 9 of 12 from the floor. The Bull trailed by 23 points in the first half, but LaVine and DeMar DeRozan both dropped 30 points to knock off the Grizzlies. Chicago's small forward also dished out a season-high nine assists, giving a boost in an unexpected category. LaVine hasn't missed a game since Nov. 6 and has scored in single digits just once this season, making him a valuable fantasy asset for the final week of the season.

LaVine totaled 23 points (7-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Friday's 121-91 victory over the Hornets.

LaVine scored 18 of his game-high 23 points in the first half and had a nice outing at the free-throw line, going 6-for-7. His production tapered off as the Bulls grew a substantial lead in the second half, which led to the starting guard sitting a good portion of the final quarter. He's having a solid year overall, but the important part may be that he has suited up a total of 72 games this season, the most since his rookie year.

LaVine recorded 23 points (8-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 32 minutes in Monday's loss to the Clippers.

LaVine led Chicago in scoring in the loss, though he snapped his two-game streak of hitting the 30-point mark. The athletic guard continues to shoot the ball well, as over his past three games he's made 62.3 percent of his field-goal tries. LaVine is averaging 29.3 points per contest over that span.

LaVine chipped in a game-high 32 points (13-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and four assists over 37 minutes during Sunday's 118-108 victory over the Lakers.

The veteran wing topped 30 points for the second straight game and the sixth time in 12 March contests as he leads the Bulls' playoff charge. LaVine is averaging a whopping 30.3 points, 4.8 assists, 3.6 boards and 3.2 threes over that stretch, and if Chicago ultimately misses out on the play-in tournament, it won't be because of his efforts.

LaVine finished Friday's 124-96 win over the Trail Blazers with 33 points (12-20 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one block in 30 minutes.

LaVine dominated a short-handed Trail Blazers lineup Friday, burying six triples on his way to a game-high 33 points. The fact that he still saw 30 minutes despite the blowout is an encouraging sign for fantasy managers with several teams across the league eliminated from playoff contention.

LaVine logged 16 points (6-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and four assists over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 116-91 loss to the 76ers.

Lavine posted his fewest points total since Feb. 2 in Wednesday's blowout loss. However, fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned, as the star guard averaged 28.8 points, 6.0 assists and 4.6 rebounds in 42.2 minutes across his previous five outings.

LaVine ended with 26 points (8-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-10 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals across 47 minutes during Monday's 109-105 double-overtime victory over Philadelphia.

The veteran wing led the Bulls in scoring on the night, and LaVine hasn't failed to score in double-digits since Nov. 18 -- a stretch of 55 straight games. He's taken his scoring to another level in March as Chicago attempts to stay in the playoff picture, averaging 31.4 points, 4.7 assists, 4.1 boards, 3.3 threes and 0.9 steals over the last nine games while shooting 52.4 percent from the floor and 44.1 percent from beyond the arc.

LaVine supplied 39 points (15-25 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and five assists over 47 minutes during Friday's 139-131 double-overtime victory over Minnesota.

There are not many players hotter than LaVine at the moment. Over his last seven games, LaVine put up averages of 34.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 3.6 triples. It hasn't always been pretty in Chicago this season, but LaVine and DeMar DeRozan are doing everything in their power to will this team into the playoffs.

LaVine closed Wednesday's 117-114 loss to Sacramento with 25 points (7-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds and six assists across 36 minutes.

LaVine struggled from the field but salvaged his scoring but connecting on all nine of his free-throw attempts. He's finished with at least 25. points, five rebounds and four assists in five straight games, averaging 31.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 37.6 minutes with 49/43/88 shooting splits during that stretch.

LaVine finished Saturday's 119-111 win over Houston with 36 points (14-26 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal over 43 minutes.

LaVine has connected on at least 12 shot attempts in four of his last five appearances and made multiple three-pointers in each of those contests. During that stretch, he's averaging 35.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 37.8 minutes with 56/51/87 shooting splits.

LaVine ended with 29 points (12-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 117-96 victory over the Nuggets.

LaVine continues to shoot the lights out and is averaging 34.8 points on 57/55/88 shooting splits over his last four appearances. He was productive in other categories as well, notching at least four rebounds and four assists for a third straight game while recording his first multi-steal contest since Feb. 4.

LaVine logged 42 points (13-23 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 11-13 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 38 minutes during Sunday's 125-122 loss to the Pacers.

It's the second time in three games LaVine has reached the 40-point mark, and the fifth time this season. The 27-year-old has been on fire over the last month, averaging 29.0 points, 4.5 boards, 3.1 assists and 2.6 threes over the last 14 games while shooting 53.1 percent from the floor and 40.2 percent from three-point range.

LaVine recorded 41 points (14-20 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 7-7 FT), one rebound, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 117-115 victory over the Pistons.

LaVine led all players in Wednesday's game in scoring while leading the Bulls in shots made from the field and three, finishing one point shy of tying his season-high point total. LaVine has surpassed the 40-point mark three times this season.

LaVine closed with 27 points (11-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, four assists and one block over 33 minutes during Sunday's 102-82 win over the Wizards.

LaVine finished as one of two Bulls players to score 20 or more points Sunday, finishing three points short of the 30-point mark. LaVine has surpassed the 25-point mark 23 times this year, including in four of his last five outings.

LaVine accumulated 35 points (10-23 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and one block in 43 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 loss to the Pacers.

The nine-year veteran has recently seen his role on offense increase while DeMar DeRozan has dealt with a lingering hip issue that forced him to exit Monday's contest early. Lavine has averaged 27.8 PPG over his last six games and continued the hot streak with a huge 33-point performance against the Pacers. He also pulled down 11 boards, his second-highest mark of the season so far. Despite LaVine's elevated play, the Bulls have dropped four consecutive games entering the all-star break. They will look to get back to full strength before returning to action on February 23.

LaVine logged 23 points (8-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 97-89 loss to the Cavaliers.

LaVine led the Bulls in scoring during the defensive battle with Cleveland and notched his fifth straight game with at least 20 points. During that stretch, he's averaging 28.2 points while shooting over 50 percent from the field, but he's provided minimal production in the peripheral categories.

LaVine logged 38 points (16-25 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound and one assist in 40 minutes during Thursday's 116-105 loss to Brooklyn.

The Bulls didn't have a good performance Thursday and suffered a loss against a depleted Brooklyn team that had plenty of activity before the trade deadline, but LaVine had one of his best scoring performances of the campaign. He's now cleared the 30-point plateau in three of his last seven outings.

LaVine closed Tuesday's 104-89 loss to Memphis with 24 points (6-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 10-17 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 40 minutes.

LaVine surpassed the 20-point mark just for the third time over his last eight appearances, and while he remains a prolific scorer, the shooting woes remain that, particularly from three-point range. LaVine is averaging 21.5 points per game while shooting 47.5 percent from the field and 32.7 percent from deep during that eight-game stretch, a span in which he's taken a step back in scoring due to the impressive stretch of Nikola Vucevic.

LaVine produced 20 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 31 minutes during Monday's 128-104 victory over the Spurs.

LaVine posted a decent stat line and his role as one of Chicago's main scoring weapons is completely safe, but he could see improvement in his three-point shooting. He's made two of fewer threes in seven of his last 10 games, and while he's averaging 22.5 points per game in that span, he's also shooting a meager 30.2 percent from beyond the arc.

LaVine accumulated 36 points (11-18 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 9-9 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 129-121 win over Portland.

LaVine was fantastic in the win, scoring at least 35 points for just the fourth time this season. After coming into the season with a lingering knee injury, LaVine has been able to round into form over the past month, putting up top-30 value in nine-category formats over that time. There are rumors the Bulls could look to shake things up prior to the trade deadline, although everything is just speculation at this point. Knowing what we know now, LaVine should continue to lead the charge for the Bulls and should be a solid top-50 player ROS.

LaVine finished with 18 points (6-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 14 rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 108-103 loss to the Clippers.

LaVine was a beast on the boards in the loss, hauling in a career-high 14 rebounds. While the scoring and assist numbers were right where we need them to be, it's fair to say his efforts on the glass were a bit of an outlier. Rumors surrounding the makeup of the Bulls moving forward continue to swirl, although no matter what happens over the next week or so, LaVine should continue to be a solid top-50 asset ROS.

LaVine finished with 32 points (11-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 37 minutes during Saturday's 128-109 win over Orlando.

LaVine helped lead the Bulls to victory by scoring a team-high 32 points and hitting over 50 percent of his shot attempts for the first time in four games. While his shooting percentages were especially helpful for category leagues, the 27-year-old failed to contribute much in some other areas. In fact, he's only recorded nine total assists over his past four contests.

LaVine recorded 14 points (4-14 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 116-110 loss to the Pacers.

LaVine failed to convert any of his attempts from beyond the arc for just the second time this season, and he snapped a streak of eight consecutive games in which he had scored in double figures. The 27-year-old also led the team with six turnovers, which matched his second-highest total of the season. Over 11 appearances in January, he's averaged 27.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 37.9 minutes per game.

LaVine logged 30 points (10-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 126-108 win over Detroit.

LaVine really found his groove in the second half, scoring 19 points on 6-of-9 shooting from the field to seal up the win for Chicago. He finished the contest with a game-high 30 points and shot above 50 percent for just the fourth time this month. The Bulls forward also sank eight of nine free-throw attempts and continues to shine on offense, scoring at least 25 points in seven straight contests.

LaVine posted 27 points (7-18 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 12-14 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 40 minutes during Sunday's 132-118 win over Golden State.

LaVine has now scored 25 or more points in six straight contests, but he was unable to find his shooting stroke throughout Sunday's clash. He's struggled from deep in back-to-back contests, hitting two of 16 attempts over this short stretch. LaVine will aim to get back on track Thursday in Detroit after appearing locked in from beyond the arc to begin the month of January (46.8 percent from three in his first six appearances).

Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said LaVine (hand) will be available for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

LaVine had been listed as probable heading into the day with a right hand contusion, and since he had already played through the issue the previous two contests, the Bulls never really had much concern about his availability for Sunday. With DeMar DeRozan (quadriceps) sidelined for the third consecutive contest, LaVine should be in store for another game of elevated usage. He handled usage rates of 38.4 and 32.1 percent over his previous two outings, well above his season-long rate of 27.9 percent.

LaVine (hand) is probable for Sunday's game against Golden State, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Sunday's tag marks the third straight contest LaVine has been probable for due to a right hand contusion. Considering he has suited up and logged more than 35 minutes in both games, fantasy managers should expect to have LaVine in their lineups Sunday. However, it would be worthwhile to check in closer to the 3:30 EST tip for confirmation.

LaVine ended Friday's 124-110 loss to the Thunder with 25 points (5-19 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 14-15 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 37 minutes.

LaVine's final stat line might have been decent, as he reached the 25-point mark for the fifth game in a row, but he struggled massively from the field and only salvaged his fantasy day after making 14 of his 15 attempts from the charity stripe. There's a strong chance this might have been nothing more than an off night for the star guard, though, as he's averaging 33.4 points while shooting 50.5 percent from the field during that five-game stretch.

Lavine (hand) will play in Friday's game versus the Thunder, Will Gottlieb of CHGO Sports reports.

LaVine has been upgraded from probable to available for Friday's game. The star guard should remain in the starting lineup and will likely be the focal point of Chicago's offense with DeMar DeRozan (quadriceps) out.

LaVine (hand) participated in Friday's shootaround, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine is probable for Friday's matchup against Oklahoma City, and his participation in shootaround makes it even more likely that he'll be able to play against the Thunder. Over his last four appearances, he's averaged 35.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 39.0 minutes per game.

LaVine is considered probable for Friday's game versus the Thunder despite a right hand contusion.

LaVine evidently picked up a slight shooting hand issue during Wednesday's contest versus the Wizards, but it doesn't appear to be a significant concern and shouldn't cost him any additional action. That's good news for LaVine, who is coming off 38 points against Washington, his fourth-highest scoring output of the season.

LaVine produced 38 points (15-28 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 4-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals over 41 minutes during Wednesday's 100-97 loss to the Wizards.

With DeMar DeRozan (quadriceps) unavailable, LaVine put together a big performance but got little help as only two other Bulls even scored in double digits. LaVine has drained at least four three-pointers in four straight games, and over his last 12 contests he's averaging 28.3 points, 4.4 boards, 4.3 assists and 3.8 threes and while shooting 51.7 percent from the floor and 46.9 percent from beyond the arc.

LaVine posted 27 points (10-24 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Monday's 107-99 loss to Boston.

Fifteen of those points came in the fourth quarter, as the Bulls tried to mount a comeback without DeMar DeRozan (quadriceps) on the court. LaVine has had a strong start to the new year, averaging 28.6 points, 5.4 boards, 5.0 threes, 4.8 assists and 1.0 blocks over five games in January while shooting a blistering 49.0 percent (25-for-51) from beyond the arc, and if DeRozan ends up missing more time, his usage would rise even further.

LaVine ended Saturday's 126-118 victory over the Jazz with 36 points (12-21 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block across 35 minutes.

LaVine's 36 points led all scorers Saturday night. The 27-year-old guard knocked down another six triples after hitting 11 in his previous game. He's shooting the ball incredibly well these past two contests but expect some regression. Prior to Friday night, he went three straight games shooting less than 39 percent.

LaVine supplied 41 points (14-19 FG, 11-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 38 minutes during Friday's 126-112 victory over the 76ers.

LaVine was unbelievable from beyond the arc in this one, as he scored 33 of his 41 points from deep. This marks the second time in five games that he's reached the 40-point threshold. LaVine is averaging 27.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists in his last five matchups.

LaVine recorded 26 points (7-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 9-9 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one block in 40 minutes during Monday's 145-134 overtime loss to Cleveland.

DeMar DeRozan led the way for Chicago with 44 points, but LaVine was still plenty productive on his own. The 27-year-old has scored 20 or more points in 13 of 16 games since the beginning of December, averaging 24.6 points, 4.4 boards, 4.1 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.0 steals over that stretch, and it's possible he'll take on an even bigger share of the offensive load later in the season if the 16-21 Bulls elect to deal veterans like DeRozan before the trade deadline.

LaVine recorded 43 points (15-20 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Friday's 132-118 win over Detroit.

LaVine reached the 40-point mark just for the second time this season, and aside from putting up his best scoring output of the campaign, he was also extremely efficient -- he missed just one shot from two-point range and five throughout the night en route to a blistering performance. LaVine is ending the calendar year on a strong note and has scored 20-plus points in each of his last seven outings.

LaVine recorded 22 points (9-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-5 FT), three rebounds and five assists over 36 minutes during Monday's 133-118 loss to Houston.

LaVine extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to five, but his efforts were not enough to carry the Bulls to victory -- in fact, Chicago has gone 2-3 in those contests. LaVine continues to be one of the Bulls' main scoring weapons, but it's not a secret he's having a down year. His 22.1 points per game, 45.2 percent from the field and 36.9 percent from three are all the worst marks of the last five seasons for him.

LaVine amasses 33 points (12-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and a steal in 37 minutes in Friday's 118-117 win over the Knicks.

LaVine got off to a fast start, hoisting up eight shots and scoring 12 points in the first quarter. It was just the third time all season that he scored 30 points or more in a game. While his scoring is down through his first 28 games, he's shown signs of improvement of late and has made 52.1 percent of his shots and 41.1 percent of his three-pointers in 11 appearances in December.

LaVine finished with 21 points (7-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 113-103 win over the Heat.

LaVine matched his season-high mark in assists but also surpassed the 20-point mark for the fourth time over his last five contests. Even though LaVine remains a reliable fantasy asset due to his offensive ability, it's worth noting that he hasn't looked as dominant as he has in past seasons. In fact, if we exclude his first season with the Bulls (2017-18), in which he only played 24 games, then LaVine is posting his worst numbers in a Chicago uniform in categories such as points, rebounds, blocks, field goal percentage and three-point percentage.

LaVine closed with 22 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and six assists in 31 minutes during Sunday's 150-126 loss to the Timberwolves.

LaVine passed the 10,000-point mark in the loss, a significant milestone in what has been a fruitful career thus far. While the scoring was nice, unfortunately, the Bulls allowed an undermanned Timberwolves team to drop 150 points, a clear indication that things are not right in Chicago. LaVine is barely inside the top 80 for the year, well below where managers were taking him in drafts.

LaVine chipped in 25 points (11-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 overtime loss to the Knicks.

LaVine knocked down 47.8 percent of his attempts from the field and hit a pair of threes, though he was less efficient from beyond the arc. The UCLA product has put up 20 or more points in eight of his last nine matchups, averaging 24.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 steals over this stretch.

LaVine closed Wednesday's 115-111 win over the Wizards with 25 points (8-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals across 34 minutes.

LaVine came close to tying his season-best mark in threes made and also reached the 20-point mark for the sixth game in a row -- a season-high mark for him. Even though he's had some up-and-down performances this season, LaVine seems to have left those struggles in the rearview. During that six-game span, LaVine is averaging 25.8 points per game while shooting 44.7 percent from the field.

LaVine totaled 41 points (16-28 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and four steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 110-101 loss to the Kings.

LaVine had easily his best game of the season Sunday, erupting for a season-high 41 points to go with four steals. Unfortunately, his teammates were unable to feed off his productivity, falling to their fourth loss in the last five games. After a slow start to the campaign, LaVine is starting to turn things around, putting up top-30 value over the past week. Given the Bulls have lofty expectations and have thus far failed to deliver, LaVine will need to continue his upward trend should they hope to contend again this season.

LaVine ended Friday's 119-111 loss to the Warriors with 21 points (8-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals over 36 minutes.

LaVine finished second on Chicago in scoring and rebounding behind Nikola Vucevic (23 points, 11 boards), and he paced the club with three three-pointers. This was his fourth straight outing with 20 or more points, and he's averaged 22.3 points during that stretch. However, he's shot only 40.8 percent from the field over the four-game span, which is right in line with his poor 40.9 percent field-goal rate on the season.

LaVine posted 20 points (7-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 114-107 win over the Jazz.

LaVine led Chicago in scoring along with tying a team-high mark in assists against Utah. LaVine has reached the 20-point mark in three of his last four outings, having recorded 20 or more points with five or more assists and rebounds on four occasions this season.

LaVine posted 27 points (9-23 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 45 minutes during Friday's 123-119 overtime loss to Oklahoma City.

LaVine was on the floor for 45 of the possible 53 minutes in Friday's overtime loss. While he did score 27 points, it took him 23 shots to get there. His shot efficiency has been all over the place this year. In 34.1 minutes per game, the veteran shooting guard is averaging 21.0 points on 40.8 percent from the field, which is the third lowest percentage among all 20-point scorers this season.

LaVine totaled four points (1-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes during Friday's 108-107 loss to Orlando.

LaVine had four straight 20-plus point games under the belt before Friday's effort, where he couldn't find the bottom of the net. The low-scoring outing is more a product of an off night shooting than a downgrade in his shooting volume, so LaVine should bounce back in future outings. LaVine provides most of his fantasy value in the scoring column, so a return to form in that area is key.

LaVine had 25 points (9-22 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and five assists over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 124-110 loss to the Pelicans.

LaVine showed improvement from beyond the arc after hitting just one of six attempts Sunday against the Nuggets, and he scored 20-plus points for the fourth time in as many games. His stats are down slightly across the board through the first month of the 2022-23 campaign, as he's averaging 22.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 steals through his first 11 games.

LaVine contributed 21 points (8-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Sunday's 126-103 loss to the Nuggets.

LaVine had major struggles from deep, but those shooting woes have been a tendency of late since the star guard has made just 30.8 percent of his three-point attempts over his last five outings. Despite the long-range woes, LaVine has found ways to remain productive and has now scored at least 20 points in each of his last three outings, as his role as one of Chicago's main scoring weapons, alongside DeMar DeRozan, is all but certain even if he endures struggles and has some bad games from time to time.

LaVine delivered 23 points (9-22 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals across 36 minutes in Wednesday's 115-111 loss against the Pelicans.

LaVine struggled with his shot, but he still found a way to reach the 20-point mark -- something he's done in five of his last seven contests. He's been sitting out some games due to injury management and is not at his best when it comes to his game shape yet, but he seems to be making small steps in the right direction. The numbers are there, but he needs to improve his efficiency since his field goal percentage is currently his worst mark of the last five seasons.

LaVine finished with 30 points (11-20 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Monday's 111-97 victory over the Raptors.

After sitting out the previous game (knee), LaVine showed no rust Monday night, leading his team in scoring, among several other categories. He did get into foul trouble a couple times, leading to a few less minutes on the court but it seems like when he does play there aren't any minute restrictions for injury management purposes. In his eight appearances so far, the 27-year-old is averaging 21.9 points, 4.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 33.4 minutes per game.

LaVine (knee) has been cleared to play Monday against the Raptors, Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic reports.

LaVine was previously listed as questionable due to left knee injury management, but he's been given the green light by Chicago's medical staff. He's averaging 20.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists over his last five contests.

LaVine (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Raptors.

LaVine sat out Sunday's matchup against Toronto due to left knee injury management, but he'll have a chance to return to action for the second half of the back-to-back set. Over his last four appearances, he's averaged 18.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 35.0 minutes per game.

LaVine (knee) won't play Sunday against the Raptors, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine will sit out Sunday's contest due to left knee injury management, but the absence is expected to be precautionary. In his absence, Alex Caruso, Goran Dragic and DeMar DeRozan are candidates for increased roles Sunday, but LaVine should return to action during Monday's rematch against Toronto.

LaVine is questionable for Sunday's game at Toronto due to left knee injury management.

LaVine has struggled in his past two outings, shooting just 34.5 percent from the field for 13.0 points, and the Bulls may opt to rest him on the front end of a back-to-back set. If he rests, more minutes should be in store for Alex Caruso, Goran Dragic and potentially even DeMar DeRozan, who should see a usage boost at the very least.

LaVine racked up 10 points (4-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 106-88 win over Charlotte.

The Bulls forward wasn't very effective from the field on Wednesday night, shooting just 2-of-7 in the first half before going 1-of-6 in the third quarter. He did, however, play a key role in getting the offense going early, dishing out three first-quarter assists - two of which went for three to help Chicago take a 27-26 lead to close out the period. It was the first time this season that LaVine started a game on back-to-back nights after coming into the season limited, following his knee surgery back in May. His 10 points were a season-low after recording 19 or more points in all previous games coming in.

LaVine (knee) will take the floor Wednesday versus the Hornets, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

An initial report from Shams Charania of The Athletic suggested LaVine wouldn't take the floor Wednesday, but it appears his status has improved to the point where he was listed as questionable and ultimately will take part. It's still worth factoring in that LaVine was initially listed on the injury report, so the staff could take precautions with the star guard.

LaVine (knee) is listed as questionable on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets.

Shams Charania of The Athletic previously reported that LaVine would sit out Wednesday's game after playing Tuesday in Brooklyn. While this is still certainly possible, the star guard has not been ruled out yet. LaVine is expected to miss games sporadically while dealing with ongoing knee trouble but looked healthy in Tuesday's comeback win over the Nets.

LaVine (knee) contributed 29 points (10-21 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and five assists over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 108-99 win over the Nets.

The 27-year-old continues to deal with knee trouble, but he didn't let it slow him down Tuesday as he scored 20 of his points in the fourth quarter to lead the Bulls to a comeback victory. LaVine has dropped at least 20 points in four of the five games he's played to begin the season, but despite Tuesday's performance he'll still be held out of the lineup Wednesday against Charlotte as Chicago prioritizes his long-term health.

Bulls coach Billy Donovan said that Lavine (knee) will return to the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Nets, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Lavine is still expected to sit out Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, as it is the second night of a back-to-back. The 27-year-old guard is still experiencing discomfort in his left knee that underwent surgery last May. Coby White and Alex Caruso will be viable fantasy options on nights where Lavine sits out for the foreseeable future.

LaVine (knee), who is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game in Brooklyn, is expected to play against the Nets before sitting out Wednesday's contest against the Hornets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Just as head coach Billy Donovan suggested would be the case shortly before the season, LaVine will be rested for one half of back-to-back sets early on in the campaign after he underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee last May. Thus far, LaVine has suited up in only four of the Bulls' first seven games, but he hasn't faced any major restrictions when active, as he's averaging 22.5 points, 3.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 3.3 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 32.3 minutes per contest. He'll likely take the court for a nationally-televised matchup with Brooklyn before resting for Wednesday's home tilt with Charlotte.

LaVine is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets due to left knee injury management.

LaVine has missed three of the Bulls' first seven games of the season due to a knee injury, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Tuesday. If he's held out against the Nets, it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to action Wednesday against Charlotte for the second half of the back-to-back set.

LaVine contributed 20 points (8-19 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes during Saturday's 114-109 loss to Philadelphia.

LaVine blamed himself for making "a bad read" in a play where he decided to shoot instead of passing it to Nikola Vucevic, who was wide open for a three, and that's perhaps the best example of how he still needs more time on the court to get back to his very best. Still, the star shooting guard is putting up solid numbers and has scored at least 20 points in three of his first four games of the campaign.

LaVine (knee) will play against the 76ers on Saturday, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

LaVine was previously listed as probable for the game after sitting out the first leg of the back-to-back yesterday for injury management reasons. With Ayo Dosunmu sitting out Saturday with back and neck discomfort, LaVine may be tasked with more ball-handling duties, which would bode well for his fantasy output.

LaVine (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the 76ers.

LaVine sat out on the front end of the back-to-back Friday but should be fine Saturday. In his three appearances, he's averaged 23.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.3 steals in 31.7 minutes.

LaVine (knee) will not suit up Friday against the Spurs,Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

LaVine's absence is part of a load management plan as he continues to monitor an ongoing knee injury and considering Friday's tilt is the first part of a back-to-back it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. Alex Caruso is likely to enter the starting lineup while DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic are candidates for a larger offensive role.

LaVine is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to left knee injury management.

LaVine missed the Bulls' first two games of the season due to a knee injury, but he was available for the last three matchups and averaged 23.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 31.7 minutes per game. His status is uncertain for the first half of the team's back-to-back set, while Alex Caruso and Coby White should see increased work if LaVine is held out.

LaVine contributed 28 points (6-13 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 10-12 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 124-109 win over Indiana.

LaVine looked good in the win, dropping a season-high 28 points. Managers have to be thrilled with his recent production, although the fear of another missed game is very real. Based on what we have heard out of Chicago, his knee injury could be something that is going to be an ongoing issue. That alone means it could be hard to trade him away unless managers are willing to take a hit. For now, simply roll with him and hope that the missed games are few and far between.

LaVine racked up 23 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Saturday's 128-96 loss to the Cavaliers.

LaVine made his first appearance of the season after missing the season opener due to a knee injury, leading the team in scoring in the losing effort. LaVine tallied a team-high in field goals made, also leading the Bulls with four assists in the contest.

LaVine (knee) will start Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.

LaVine missed the first two games of the regular season, but he's ready to make his season debut here against another playoff contender in the Eastern Conference. The star guard won't have a minutes restriction, and his presence in the lineup should provide quite a boost to the team's offense while also easing the load on DeMar DeRozan's shoulders.

LaVine (knee) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

As expected, LaVine remains on schedule for his season debut Saturday. However, it was reported earlier in the week that LaVine's workload will be managed early in the year, so his minutes will likely be limited in this contest. When back to full speed, LaVine figures to be a centerpiece of the Bulls' offense.

LaVine will be available for Saturday's matchup with the Cavaliers, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

As expected, LaVine will make his 2022-23 debut Saturday against the Cavaliers after missing the first two games of the season. As previously reported, LaVine will sit at least one game of back-to-backs early on, allowing for Alex Caruso, Coby White and Goran Dragic to see extra run in matchups that LaVine sits.

LaVine (knee), who has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Wizards, will sit for at least one game in back-to-back sets in the near future, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

LaVine is sitting for the first two games of the regular season due to left knee injury management, and the Bulls will continue to manage his workload over the first few weeks of the year. Including this weekend's matchups against the Wizards and Cavaliers, the Bulls have four back-to-back sets between late October and early November, which should allow Alex Caruso, Coby White and Goran Dragic to see increased roles. However, the team doesn't play any back-to-back sets between Nov. 8 and Dec. 19, which should allow LaVine to have slightly more regular playing time.

LaVine (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Wizards.

LaVine was unavailable for Wednesday's regular-season opener due to left knee injury management, and he'll remain out for a second consecutive game Friday. He'll have a chance to return Saturday against the Cavaliers, but Alex Caruso, Coby White and Goran Dragic should see increased playing time once again Friday.

LaVine (knee) won't take the floor Wednesday against the Heat, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

LaVine sported a questionable tag upon the release of the injury report, but it appears things haven't gone well enough over the last 24 hours for him to join the action. He'll have another chance to make his season debut Friday when the team travels to Washington, though Shams Charania of The Athletic indicates he is more likely to debut Saturday against the Heat. Alex Caruso (calf), Coby White and Goran Dragic are among the candidates to pick up his voided minutes.

LaVine is listed as questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Heat due to left knee management.

LaVine underwent successful arthroscopic surgery in May to address a knee issue that lingered for most of the 2021-22 campaign. The All-Star guard was healthy for the start of training camp, but the Bulls continue to remain cautious. Even if LaVine suits up Wednesday, fantasy managers should anticipate Chicago giving him periodic rest days throughout the campaign in an effort to keep him a healthy for the stretch run.

LaVine will rest for Tuesday's preseason finale against the Bucks.

LaVine will get a blow for this contest after participating in the previous preseason tilts. He enters the season in a key role for the Bulls and could be relied on more than anticipated with Lonzo Ball set to miss multiple months of the season due to a knee injury.

LaVine amassed nine points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and a steal in 24 minutes in a 115-98 win Sunday in Toronto.

Lavine had a rough first half, going 1-for-7 from the floor and turning the ball over five times. He salvaged the night in the third by making both his three-point attempts and scoring six of his nine points. The 27-year-old has yet to find his stroke in the preseason, making only three shots in each game and shooting 39.1 percent from the field. The two-time All-Star has been one of the most productive scorers in the game the last four seasons and has made 49.1 percent of his shots over the last two years.

LaVine ended with just seven points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six assists, two rebounds and one steal in 24 minutes during Friday's victory over Denver.

Lack of production aside, LaVine was able to log 24 minutes in which is a good sign for prospective managers. After undergoing offseason surgery, it appears he will be ready to roll come opening night. The Bulls are slated to be without Lonzo Ball for an extended period, meaning LaVine could play as more of a ball-handler, giving him a slight bump when it comes to projecting his assist numbers, as seen in this outing.

Bulls executive Arturas Karnisovas said Monday that Zach LaVine (knee) is ready for training camp, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

LaVine underwent success arthroscopic surgery in May to address a knee issue that lingered for the majority of the 2021-22 campaign. However, he still posted 24.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.5 assists across 34.7 minutes per game. The surgery didn't spot the All-Star wing from signing a five-year, $215 million contract this offseason. Now that he's healthy, LaVine will look to replicate, if not improve upon, his All-Star season from a year ago.

LaVine agreed to a five-year, $215.2 million maximum contract with the Bulls on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

After making the All-Star game the past two seasons with Chicago, LaVine is sticking with the Bulls after agreeing to a five-year max deal. The Bulls made the playoffs for the first time since 2017 and are poised to make another strong run with LaVine back in the mix. While the 27-year-old will still have to split lead duties with DeMar DeRozan, LaVine should have no problems producing yet another strong fantasy season in 2023.

LaVine underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Tuesday.

As expected, the All-Star guard had offseason surgery to address a knee issue that lingered for the majority of the 2021-22 campaign. LaVine is an unrestricted free agent this summer after posting his fourth straight season with at least 23.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. He's expected to have plenty of suitors in free agency, but he hasn't ruled out a return to Chicago yet.

LaVine (knee) will undergo a scope procedure on his left knee in the coming weeks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

This isn't unexpected news, as it was known that LaVine would likely need surgery during the offseason, but it hadn't been confirmed until Thursday. He began dealing with the issue in December, and his numbers began trailing off as a result. That said, he was still able to make a second straight All-Star game and appear in 67 games. LaVine is an unrestricted free agent this summer, which will soon become the bigger storyline assuming everything goes as planned with his knee surgery.

LaVine (COVID-19 protocols) is expected to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee during the offseason, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Though LaVine's entry into the NBA's health and safety protocols Tuesday resulted in him sitting out the Bulls' season-ending loss Wednesday in Game 5 of the team's first-round series with the Bucks, it was lingering discomfort in his left knee that hampered him for most of the second half of the campaign. LaVine wasn't forced to miss extensive time because of the knee issue, which first cropped up in December. LaVine's defensive efficiency suffered as a result of the injury, and his offensive numbers also trended down after a promising start to the season. After the calendar flipped to January, LaVine averaged 23.0 points and 2.15 three-pointers on 45.3 percent shooting from the field and 37 percent shooting from downtown; prior to that, he averaged 26.0 points and 3.0 triples while shooting 50 and 41 percent from the field and distance, respectively. According to Cowley, LaVine's knee problem isn't considered degenerative, and an arthroscopic procedure should put him back to full strength well in advance of

LaVine (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 matchup with the Bucks in Milwaukee.

LaVine's absence comes as little surprise after he entered the protocols Tuesday, presumably as a result of testing positive for the virus. The 27-year-old was previously in the protocols in December for 11 days, but it's unclear if his bout with the virus is as severe this time around. In any case, LaVine will be hard pressed to make it back for a potential Game 6 on Friday in Chicago, should the Bulls pull out an upset on the road in Game 5 to extend the series. In addition to LaVine, the Bulls will also be without Alex Caruso (concussion) for Game 5, which likely puts Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White in line to handle huge roles out of the backcourt.

LaVine entered the NBA's health and safety protocols Tuesday and will likely be sidelined for Wednesday's Game 5 in Milwaukee, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

On it's own, this is obviously a huge blow for Chicago, who faces elimination, but the Bulls could also be without Alex Caruso (concussion) and have already lost Lonzo Ball (knee) for the season, so youngsters Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu will likely both play critical roles during Game 5. As for LaVine, it's his third time landing in the league's protocols over the last two seasons and was sidelined for multiple games on each occasion, so if the Bulls force a Game 6, their All-Star swingman would likely remain out. While White, Dosunmu and others are expected to have increased roles, the Bulls presumably will lean heavily on DeMar DeRozan in LaVine's likely absence.

LaVine finished Sunday's 119-95 loss to the Bucks with 24 points (8-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds and 13 assists in 42 minutes.

While the Bulls were able to steal Game 2 in Milwaukee, they've now dropped each of the subsequent two contests in blowout fashion. Individually, it was a bounceback effort for LaVine, who had just 15 points in Game 3, but on the whole it's been a relatively unimpressive series. LaVine and the Bulls will look to stave off elimination in Game 5 on Wednesday back in Milwaukee.

LaVine racked up 15 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 111-81 loss to Milwaukee.

LaVine has reached the 20-point mark just once in the current series against the Bucks and has struggled to cope with Milwaukee's physicality. His offensive contributions are huge for Chicago since he averaged 24.4 points per game during the regular season, but he hasn't been able to deliver so far in the current series. The Bulls need more from him if they want to get past the first round.

LaVine posted 20 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 43 minutes during Wednesday's 114-110 win over the Bucks.

LaVine was one of three Bulls to finish with 20-plus points in the contest, though he trailed significantly behind leading scorer DeMar DeRozan (41 points). The veteran guard shot 7-for-13 from the field in the win, which was a significant improvement over his 6-for-19 mark in Game 1. LaVine wasn't as effective on the boards, however, grabbing just one rebound Wednesday after snatching 10 boards in the first game of the series.

LaVine closed Sunday's 93-86 loss to Milwaukee with 18 points (6-19 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes.

LaVine salvaged a decent fantasy line, but it never felt like he truly settled in after Chicago fell behind early and struggled from the field throughout the night. LaVine, Nikola Vucevic (9-27 FG) and DeMar DeRozan (6-25 FG) combined to hit only 21 of their 71 field-goal attempts and went 4-of-22 from beyond the arc. The 27-year-old will look to bounce back in Game 2 on Wednesday night before the series shifts to Chicago.

LaVine (knee) is out Sunday against the Timberwolves.

Unsurprisingly, LaVine, DeMar DeRozan (rest) and Nikola Vucevic (rest) will not play in the finale with the No. 6 seed locked up. Plenty of bench players will see massively expanded roles.

LaVine registered 23 points (9-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and seven assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 133-117 loss to the Hornets.

LaVine has been dealing with a knee issue for quite a while now, and while the injury has been affecting his explosiveness, that wasn't noticeable Friday since he registered at least 20 points for the eighth time over his last 10 appearances. While he's putting up 23.6 points, 4.1 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game over that 10-game sample, it's also worth noting that those figures are a small downgrade compared to what he's done over the course of the entire regular season. At this point and with only one game left on the regular season, the Bulls should be smart with him and rest him up so he can be close to full strength come playoff time.

LaVine (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Hornets, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

LaVine has been dealing with left knee discomfort recently, but he'll be able to play through the issue once again Friday. The 27-year-old has averaged 20.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 34.6 minutes per game across his last five appearances.

LaVine (knee) is listed as probable Friday against Charlotte.

LaVine continues to deal with some discomfort in his left knee, but there's been no indication that he plans to miss time with the playoffs approaching. While he did sit out Tuesday against Milwaukee on the front end of a back-to-back, LaVine was back in action for Wednesday's loss to the Celtics. He finished that game with only seven points on 2-of-9 shooting in 27 minutes of action.

LaVine supplied seven points (2-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one block across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 117-94 loss to the Celtics.

LaVine suffered through one of his worst shooting performances of the season in Wednesday's loss. The normally-accurate guard laid a goose egg beyond the arc and only connected on two shots overall.

LaVine (knee) will be available Wednesday against Boston, KC Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine missed the first half of the back-to-back set Tuesday night against Milwaukee, but he'll return to action Wednesday night as the Bulls seek a rare statement win against a good team. Last time out, LaVine put up 33 points, five threes and five rebounds against the Heat on Saturday.

LaVine (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

LaVine was sidelined for the first half of the Bulls' back-to-back set Tuesday, but he's expected to return to the starting lineup Wednesday. The All-Star guard continues to push through a left knee issue, but he's still averaged 25.3 points, 4.5 assists and 3.4 rebounds in 35.7 minutes over his last 11 appearances.

LaVine (knee) will be held out of Tuesday's game against Milwaukee.

As expected, LaVine will sit out Tuesday as the Bulls head into a back-to-back set that includes a matchup against the Celtics on Wednesday. It's unclear just how much discomfort LaVine is dealing with, but he's only missed one game since the All-Star break as he continues to push through a left knee issue. The star guard should be considered day-to-day throughout the final week of the regular season.

LaVine (knee) is unlikely to play Tuesday against the Bucks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

LaVine continues to battle discomfort in his left knee, but he's only missed one game since the All-Star break. He was initially listed as probable but continues to trend in the wrong direction and is now expected to sit out Tuesday after not practicing Monday, which should mean increased roles for Ayo Dosunmu, Coby White and Alex Caruso. LaVine's status for the second half of the Bulls' back-to-back set Wednesday against the Celtics remains unclear.

LaVine (knee) is questionable for Tuesday night's game against Milwaukee.

LaVine has been playing through discomfort in his left knee since around the All-Star break, and while he's mostly been able to push through it, he did not practice Monday and could end up missing the first of Chicago's four games to finish out the regular season. A final call likely won't be made until closer to the 8:00 PM ET tip.

Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said LaVine (knee) was held out of Monday's practice for precautionary purposes, but he's expected to play Tuesday against the Bucks, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Despite ongoing knee soreness, LaVine continues to do everything he can to ensure the Bulls hang onto a playoff spot and don't fall back into the play-in tournament. He's averaged 25.1 points, 4.4 assists and 3.4 rebounds over his last 10 games, including a 33-point performance in his last outing against the Heat.

LaVine (knee) registered 33 points (11-21 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's 127-109 loss to the Heat.

Despite his ongoing knee soreness, LaVine continues to do everything he can to try and ensure the Bulls hang onto a playoff spot and don't sink back into the play-in tournament. He's dropped more than 30 points three times in the last 10 games, averaging 25.1 points, 4.4 assists, 3.4 boards, 2.8 threes and 0.9 steals over that stretch.

LaVine (knee) will play Saturday against the Heat, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

As expected, LaVine will continue to play through knee soreness. He's appeared in 10 straight games, with averages of 24.5 points, 4.8 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 35.8 minutes.

LaVine (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Heat.

LaVine is expected to continue playing through left knee soreness. He's appeared in 10 straight games, with averages of 24.5 points, 4.8 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 35.8 minutes.

LaVine (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Clippers.

LaVine will continue to play through knee soreness, and Thursday marks his 10th straight appearance. During this stretch, he's averaged 24.9 points, 4.8 assists and 3.1 rebounds in 35.2 minutes.

LaVine is probable for Thursday's game against the Clippers due to left knee soreness.

LaVine has been dealing with a lingering knee injury, but it appears likely that he'll be able to play through the issue once again Thursday. Across his last nine appearances, he's averaged 24.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 35.2 minutes per game.

LaVine (injury management) is active for Tuesday's matchup against Washington, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Although there was speculation that LaVine will get the night off to rest his bothersome left knee, the guard will play in the team's second game of their back-to-back. LaVine is averaging 26.3 points, 5.3 assists and 3.0 rebounds dating back to his last absence March 12 against the Cavaliers.

LaVine (injury management) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game at Washington.

With the Bulls playing on the second half of a back-to-back, it looks like there's a chance they could hold LaVine out of action to limit the strain on his troublesome left knee. It's worth noting that LaVine has played in 15 of Chicago's last 16 games, including a pair of back-to-back sets. He's coming off of a 27-point effort in 36 minutes Monday night against New York.

LaVine amassed 27 points (8-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes during Monday's 109-104 loss to the Knicks.

LaVine scored at least 20 points for the fifth straight game but added very little outside of the points column. Given what we know about his ongoing knee issues, managers are simply thrilled to have him available right now. With that being said, it would be nice to see some peripheral production to complement his scoring. The Bulls need to win as many games as possible down the stretch and so while there is a chance LaVine sits another game or two, the medical staff are going to be doing everything they can to keep him on the floor.

LaVine supplied 39 points (12-23 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 11-13 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes during Thursday's 126-109 loss to the Pelicans.

With DeMar DeRozan (hip) sidelined, the Bulls leaned heavily on LaVine, even though the 27-year-old is dealing with knee issues of his own. LaVine's scored at least 20 points in 12 of his last 13 games as his team tries to hang onto a playoff spot, averaging 25.3 points, 5.2 assists, 4.3 boards and 2.8 threes over that stretch.

LaVine (knee) is listed as available for Thursday's game at New Orleans.

Chicago continues to closely monitor the star guard's left knee, but Thursday will mark his sixth straight game since sitting out against the Cavs on March 12. As the season winds down, the Bulls could build in some more rest nights for LaVine, but it doesn't look like he'll face any limitations Thursday. With DeMar DeRozan (hip) sidelined, LaVine becomes a more appealing option in DFS contests.

LaVine (knee) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

LaVine has been playing through soreness in his left knee, and it appears he'll continue playing through the issue Thursday in New Orleans. The 27-year-old has averaged 23.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.6 minutes across the past five games.

LaVine totaled 21 points (6-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 126-98 loss to Milwaukee.

LaVine was questionable heading into the contest due to persistent knee soreness, but he was able to suit up for a fifth straight game. Despite solid production, the Bulls lost for the fourth time over their past five contests and continue to struggle against the best teams in the NBA. During that stretch, LaVine has averaged 23.8 points, 6.6 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 33.6 minutes per game. He'll look to maintain his solid production and help Chicago get back in the win column against the Pelicans on Thursday.

LaVine (knee) is available for Tuesday's matchup against the Bucks, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

LaVine is battling persistent knee soreness but will appear in a fifth straight game. Over the past four, he's averaged 24.5 points, 6.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 33.5 minutes.

LaVine (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Bucks.

LaVine continues to battle lingering knee soreness and is in jeopardy of being sidelined for the second half of the Bulls' back-to-back set Tuesday. If he's ruled out, Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White would be candidates for increased roles, but DeMar DeRozan would likely be asked to handle the majority of the offensive responsibilities.

LaVine supplied 12 points (1-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-12 FT), two rebounds and nine assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 129-102 loss to Phoenix.

The Bulls have hit a rut as the playoffs approach, as they'v enow dropped three straight games to the Kings, Jazz and Suns. While LaVine did get to the line 12 times, he struggled to get anything going from the field, hitting only one of his seven shots in 30 minutes of action. He's been bothered by a sore knee of late, but LaVine was coming off of a 33-point showing against Utah, so it's unclear if that may have been a factor.

LaVine (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Suns.

LaVine was probable with knee soreness ahead of Friday's matchup, but he'll be unable to take the court. He's averaged 27.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 36.4 minutes per game across his last five appearances.

LaVine (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the Suns.

LaVine continues to deal with knee soreness but will presumably play in a third straight game. He's scored at least 20 points in each of his past nine appearances.

LaVine totaled 33 points (11-20 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 6-8 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 125-110 loss to the Jazz.

LaVine was dealing with a knee injury prior to Wednesday's contest and while the expectation was always to deem him as available, it's worth noting that he looked impressive on offense en route to his best scoring output since Jan. 1, when he scored 35 points against the Wizards. While LaVine is not clearing the 30-point mark with the frequency he had done earlier this season, he's still an elite scorer who should be quite an asset across all formats.

LaVine (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

As expected, LaVine will play Wednesday after he was able to participate in the team shootaround Wednesday morning. The All-Star guard posted 27 points, six assists, three rebounds and a block across 36 minutes of action in Monday's loss to the Kings.

LaVine (knee) participated in Wednesday's shootaround, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

LaVine is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Jazz, so his participation in the team's shootaround ahead of the game isn't a significant surprise. He's scored 20-plus points in each of his last eight appearances and has averaged 24.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 36.3 minutes per game during that time.

LaVine (knee) is probable for Wednesday's contest against the Jazz.

LaVine continues to battle a lingering knee issue, but he's made it clear he has no intentions of sitting out for any extended period. Over his last eight appearances, the All-Star guard has averaged 24.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 36.3 minutes per game. However, the Bulls have just two wins during that stretch.

LaVine amassed 27 points (8-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one block across 36 minutes during Monday's 112-103 loss to the Kings.

The Bulls hoped that LaVine's return might help them get out of their slump, and although LaVine had a good showing in his return, they fell to a cellar-dweller. LaVine played 36 minutes and while there's no mention of a minute restriction, it's possible that he could take a night off this week to protect his knee.

LaVine (knee) has been cleared to play Monday against Sacramento, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

LaVine was held out of Saturday's matchup against the Cavaliers due to soreness in his left knee, but he's been given the green light to compete Monday night. He's averaging an impressive 24.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.6 assists over his last seven contests.

LaVine (knee) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Kings.

LaVine was sidelined for Saturday's win over Cleveland due to lingering knee soreness. If LaVine is absent for a second consecutive contest, Alex Caruso -- who returned to the rotation Saturday following a lengthy absence due to a wrist injury -- will likely absorb the majority of LaVine's missing minutes.

LaVine (knee) is out Saturday against the Cavaliers, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports.

Knee soreness will keep LaVine out following a streak of seven games played where he averaged 24.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 36.3 minutes. Alex Caruso (wrist) is back, so some of LaVine's minutes will go to him.

LaVine (knee) didn't practice Friday and is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Cavaliers, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports.

LaVine experienced some soreness in the knee that has been giving him problems all season following Thursday's win over the Pistons. The All-Star wing has already admitted to not being 100 percent but has been willing to play through the pain to give the Bulls the best chance possible of maintaining their current standing in the Eastern Conference. Fantasy managers are encouraged to continue monitoring LaVine's status on a game-by-game basis, as Chicago will likely want to keep him as fresh as possible for a potential playoff run.

LaVine recorded 25 points (7-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 10-11 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 114-108 win over the Pistons.

Despite struggling from three-point range Wednesday, LaVine's 25 points were the second most on the team behind only DeMar DeRozan (36 points) as the Bulls got back in the win column. He's now scored 20 or more points in seven straight games coming out of the All-Star break, which is encouraging given the fact that his left knee still isn't 100 percent. LaVine is averaging 24.6 points per game this season and will look to keep his 20-point streak going against the Cavaliers on Saturday.

LaVine totaled 24 points (8-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds and five assists in 37 minutes during Monday's 121-106 loss to Philadelphia. He also had five turnovers.

LaVine racked up a team-high 24 points and has knocked down multiple threes in six consecutive contests. The Bulls are on a five game losing streak, but LaVine has scored admirably over that stretch -- exceeding 20 points against Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Miami and Memphis. While the lack of victories against quality opponents in concerning, LaVine will look to right the ship Wednesday against the Pistons.

LaVine (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's contest against the Bucks, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

LaVine, who continues to battle a knee injury, is expected to play in the second half of the Bulls' back-to-back set Friday, but Westerlund adds that his future availability for back-to-backs will be dependent on how he's feeling on a day-to-day basis. This could mean that the All-Star forward could periodically sit out contests down the stretch, so fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status on game-by-game basis.

LaVine scored 22 points (8-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding seven assists, three rebounds and a block in 34 minutes during Thursday's 130-124 loss to the Hawks.

Despite recent reports LaVine will likely be playing with his left knee at less than 100 percent for the rest of the season, the 26-year-old guard still delivered at least 20 points for the fourth straight game, tying DeMar DeRozan for the team lead in scoring in the process. LaVine could get maintenance days off down the stretch, but when he's on the court he should produce as usual after averaging 22.8 points, 5.3 assists, 4.9 boards and 2.6 threes through eight games in February.

LaVine said his left knee still isn't 100 percent, and he anticipates having to play through the pain until he can address the issue during the offseason, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine has scored 20-plus points in all three of the Bulls' post-break games, but he's shooting just 46.2 percent from the field and 36.8 percent from three during those contests, which are both just slightly below his season averages. The All-Star wing adds, "I might not be 100 percent. But me at 80 percent, 70 percent, whatever it is, it's still one of the best players in the NBA." He admitted that the treatment he is receiving now is like a "bandaid" that allows him to get to the level he needs to for games, but it isn't a long-term fix. LaVine is set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason and could be eligible for a five-year, $200 million deal if he re-signs with the Bulls, which could balloon to a supermax deal if he makes an All-NBA team. With the Bulls contending in the East and money on the line this offseason, LaVine has a lot to play for this season, and barring a significant setback, it doesn't appear like there's anything that will hinder him from finishing the campaign.

LaVine ended Monday's 112-99 loss to the Heat with 22 points (8-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes.

LaVine has scored at least 20 points in each of his last three appearances since returning from a brief three-game absence. The star guard has not been as consistent of late as he was earlier this season, but he has still scored at least 20 points in six of eight February appearances.

LaVine finished Saturday's 116-110 loss to the Grizzlies with 28 points (9-19 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal over 38 minutes.

LaVine had a strong performance on both ends of the court, but his efforts were not enough to lift the Bulls to victory here. The star shooting guard continues to make an impact on offense for Chicago, and he's averaging 22.9 points per game across seven appearances this month.

LaVine produced 20 points (7-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes during Thursday's 112-108 victory over Atlanta.

LaVine struggled from deep in his return from a three-game absence due to a knee injury. Prior to Thursday's matchup, he hadn't played since Feb. 11 due to a few extra days off during the All-Star break, so he may have been shaking some rust off. Even so, he put together a serviceable outing, finishing just below his season average in scoring (24.6 points).

LaVine (knee) i s not listed on the Bulls' injury report ahead of Thursday's game against Atlanta.

LaVine missed Chicago's final three games before the break due to concerns about his left knee, but he's since received treatment -- including a cortisone injection -- and he was even able to log 11 minutes of action in Sunday's All-Star Game. The star guard should be back in full capacity as the Bulls begin the stretch run, but how that left knee holds up will be worth monitoring, particularly once the postseason arrives.

LaVine (knee) finished Sunday's All-Star Game with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 11 minutes.

LaVine did not play in the Bulls' final three games before the break due to a left knee issue, so it's encouraging that he was given the green light by the Bulls' medical staff to play in an exhibition game. On Saturday, the Bulls revealed that LaVine recently underwent PRP treatment, as well as cortisone injections, to treat discomfort in the knee. The bouncy guard is expected to be ready to return coming out of the break, but how the knee holds up will be a major storyline to monitor.

LaVine said Saturday that he recently had his left knee drained and received platelet-rich plasma and cortisone injections to address lingering pain that he expects to be "manageable" for the remainder of the season, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports. "[The treatment] will get me through the end of the season, and then in the offseason I'll be able to take care of it and get myself to 100 percent."

LaVine missed the Bulls' final three games of the first half due to the knee injury, but he's apparently set on participating Sunday for Team Durant in the NBA All-Star Game in Cleveland. Even if he gets some playing time off the bench Sunday, the low intensity of the game likely won't provide any real sense of his health, but LaVine's mere participation in the exhibition coupled with his optimistic comments about the injury bode well for his chances of being ready to go when the Bulls open their post-All-Star-break schedule Thursday versus the Hawks.

LaVine's (knee) visit with a specialist in Los Angeles went "very well", and he's expected to return following the All-Star break, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports. Coach Billy Donovan noted, "The doctors don't feel like he's in any harms way of continuing to play."

This is great news for fantasy managers, the Bulls and LaVine, as there was some concern he would be out for an extended period, which would have made an even bigger hole in Chicago's depleted backcourt. It seems possible he'll have a ramp-up period coming out of the break and could see his minutes monitored, but a return to normal sooner than later seems fair to expect.

LaVine (knee), who was previously ruled out for Monday's game versus the Spurs, won't play in Chicago's final game before the All-Star break Wednesday against the Kings, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

LaVine is in Los Angeles visiting a specialist Monday, as he was apparently experiencing some post-game swelling while attempting to play through the left knee injury. The 26-year-old will head into the All-Star break having missed the Bulls' final three games, though Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN previously reported LaVine was still planning on participating in the All-Star festivities this weekend, however, his actual availability figures to depend on the diagnosis from his visit with the specialist.

LaVine will travel to Los Angeles to see a specialist for his left knee injury, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

LaVine sat out Saturday's win over the Thunder after appearing in three straight games despite being listed on the injury report with knee soreness. The Bulls have two more home games -- Monday against the Spurs and Wednesday against the Kings -- before the All-Star break, but LaVine will presumably miss both of those contests if he's going to be in Los Angeles. Wojnarowski relays that LaVine is still planning on participating in All-Star festivities next weekend, so fantasy managers can remain cautiously optimistic that he'll be full go when Chicago returns to action Feb. 24, though his status will remain unclear until the results of his evaluation are known.

LaVine (knee) is out Saturday against the Thunder, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

After three straight appearances, LaVine will take a game off due to left knee soreness. In his absence, more minutes could be available for Matt Thomas, Coby White and Troy Brown.

LaVine is questionable for Saturday's game against Oklahoma City due to left knee injury management.

LaVine has been back in action for each of the last three games and has averaged 23.7 points, 6.3 assists and 5.7 rebounds in 38.0 minutes per contest during that time. If he's held out against the Thunder, Matt Thomas and Malcolm Hill should see increased roles.

LaVine (back) put up 32 points (9-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 10-10 FT) to go with eight assists and six rebounds across 37 minutes Monday in the Bulls' 127-124 loss to the Suns.

LaVine had been listed as questionable heading into the day after missing the Bulls' previous two contests with back spasms, but he received the green light to play a couple hours before tipoff. He proceeded to play without a minutes limit while delivering an excellent stat line for fantasy managers who activated him ahead of the Bulls' four-game week. Provided the back issue doesn't prove to be a recurring issue for LaVine, he looks like he'll resume serving as Chicago's go-to scorer out of the backcourt moving forward, and he could see an uptick in his assist production with Lonzo Ball (knee) likely a month or longer away from a return.

LaVine finished Monday's 127-124 loss to the Suns with 32 points (9-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 10-10 FT), six rebounds and eight assists across 37 minutes.

Making his return after missing a pair of games due to a back issue, LaVine did not appear hampered in the slightest, as he played 37 minutes and posted his highest scoring total since back on Jan. 1. His status will be worth monitoring over the next few games, but overall this was a massively encouraging return for the All-Star reserve.

LaVine (back) is available for Monday's game against the Suns, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine was considered questionable with back spasms but has been cleared to take the court after missing the past two games. He shouldn't face any significant workload limitations Monday given the brevity of the absence.

LaVine (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Suns.

LaVine has missed the last two games due to back spasms, so it remains unclear if he'll be healthy enough to return for Monday's tilt with Phoenix. If he can't go, Troy Brown would likely draw another start in the Bulls' backcourt after starting the team's previous two games.

LaVine (back) is unavailable for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

LaVine will be sidelined for the second consecutive game as he continues to battle back spasms. Troy Brown started in his place Friday and could do so again for the front half of the back-to-back set Sunday versus Philadelphia.

LaVine (back) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the 76ers.

LaVine sat out Friday's win over the Pacers due to back spasms, which prompted coach Billy Donovan to start Troy Brown. LaVine's availability could come down to a game-time call.

LaVine (back) is out Friday against the Pacers, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

LaVine has been dealing with back spasms lately and needs to take Friday off to recover. With Coby White (groin) a game-time call, the Bulls could be quite shorthanded in the backcourt. Increased minutes could be in store for Malcolm Hill, Matt Thomas and Troy Brown.

The Bulls list LaVine (back) as questionable for Friday's contest against the Pacers.

LaVine announced after Thursday's loss to Toronto that he's been dealing with back spasms the last two games. The All-Star guard said "it hurts," but "that's what happens when you play 42-minutes with back spasms." His status for the second half of the Bulls' back-to-back is in serious jeopardy, as Chicago will likely be extremely cautious with it's go-to player. If he's unable to suit up, Coby White, Malcolm Hill and Matt Thomas could all see an uptick in minutes.

LaVine has been dealing with back spasms the last two games and should be considered a game-time decision for Friday's game against Indiana, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports. He finished Thursday's game against Toronto with 15 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3PT, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block in 42 minutes.

The team will evaluate LaVine on Friday morning to get a rough idea of his availability for the second half of a back-to-back. "It hurts," said Lavine. "That's what happens when you play a 42-minutes game with back spasms." If the star guard is unable to go in Indiana, look for Coby White, Malcolm Hill and Matt Thomas to see an uptick in minutes.

LaVine (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Raptors, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine was downgraded from probable to questionable earlier in the day but will still be available for Thursday's matchup with Toronto. The 26-year-old has averaged 24.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 35.4 minutes over the past five games.

LaVine (back) was downgraded from probable to questionable for Thursday's game against the Raptors.

LaVine is coming off a nice outing during a win over the Magic, but he seemingly hurt his back in the process. If he's unable to play, more minutes could be available for Malcolm Hill, Matt Thomas and other wings.

LaVine is probable for Thursday's game against the Raptors due to a right mid-back strain.

LaVine has been dominant recently and has scored 20-plus points in each of his last five appearances. It appears likely that he'll be able to play through his back injury during the first half of a back-to-back set Thursday.

LaVine tallied 26 points (8-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes Tuesday in the Bulls' 126-115 win over the Magic.

Following a recent five-game absence due to a left knee injury, LaVine hasn't taken long to pick up where he left off prior to getting hurt. In his five games back from injury, LaVine is averaging 24.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 2.2 three-pointers and 0.8 steals in 35.4 minutes. Most of those numbers are roughly in line with his season-long averages, and LaVine is a good bet to see some improvement in the one category where he's lagging (three-pointers) once his 28.2-percent mark over the past five games inevitably veers closer to his career rate (38.6 percent).

LaVine finished with 30 points (10-23 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block in 35 minutes during Friday's 131-122 loss to the Spurs.

LaVine scored at least 30 points for the first time since January 1, a span of nine games. Since returning from a five-game stint on the sideline, LaVine has been able to re-assert himself on the offensive end of the floor. However, his production from the perimeter has left a little to be desired, connecting on just six triples from three games. Those numbers should rectify themselves sooner rather than later and LaVine should continue to put up elite fantasy production the rest of the way.

LaVine closed with 23 points (6-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 35 minutes during Monday's 111-110 win over Oklahoma City.

LaVine delivered fantasy managers a solid, yet inefficient line in his return against the Thunder. A bit of rust from the floor is to be expected given his lengthy layoff, and so there is nothing to be concerned with here. With Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso both set to miss at least the next six weeks due to respective injuries, LaVine is going to have the ball in his hands even more. We could see a slight bump in his assists, while he will also need to be doing more on the defensive end.

LaVine (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Thunder and will have a minutes restriction that exceeds 25 minutes, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine may not have a hard restriction coming off the five-game absence due to a knee injury, but he won't reach the 34.0 minutes he's averaging so far this season. The 26-year-old should immediately step into a heavy offensive workload with DeMar DeRozan resting and Lonzo Ball (knee) out for at least a month.

The Bulls list LaVine (knee) as questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder.

LaVine's questionable designation aligns with what head coach Billy Donovan said Sunday, when he noted that the star shooting guard would join the Bulls for the final game of its road trip and potentially put an end to a five-game absence. Since the Bulls are playing in the second leg of a back-to-back set, the Bulls won't hold a formal morning shootaround Tuesday, so clarity on LaVine's status may not arrive until closer to the 8 p.m. ET tipoff.

Coach Billy Donovan said Sunday that LaVine (knee) will meet the Bulls in Oklahoma City and has a chance to play in Monday's contest against the Thunder, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Donovan initially ruled LaVine out for the Bulls' entire three-game road trip, and while he won't play Sunday in Orlando, he has a chance to play in the second half of Chicago's back-to-back in Oklahoma City. The Bulls likely wouldn't rush their star guard back if he wasn't fully healthy, so fantasy managers should be comfortable starting him whenever he clears the injury report.

LaVine (knee) is out Sunday against the Magic, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

It was strange of the Bulls to list LaVine as doubtful for Sunday's game given that he's not on the road trip, and Johnson clarifies that he will not play. It also seems likely that LaVine will be out for Monday's game at Oklahoma City. Optimistic fantasy managers can potentially start LaVine at the beginning of next week, hoping that he'll return Wednesday at home against the Raptors.

LaVine (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Magic.

As expected, LaVine will most likely return next week as the Bulls finish up the current road trip. With Alex Caruso (wrist) out for the next six-plus weeks and Lonzo Ball (knee) likely out another month, the Bulls are extremely shorthanded in the backcourt. Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu should continue seeing big minutes.

LaVine (knee) is expected back "sometime middle to late next week," Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports.

As expected, LaVine could return following the Bulls' current road trip, which ends following Monday's game against the Thunder. However, even if LaVine returns as early as Wednesday against the Raptors, he could be on a minutes limit.

LaVine (knee) is out for the Bulls' upcoming three-game road trip, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine will stay back in Chicago to receive treatment on his left knee injury. Lonzo Ball (knee) will also remain in Chicago, so the Bulls will remain quite shorthanded for the road trip. On a positive note, Alex Caruso is returning Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

LaVine underwent an MRI on Saturday that revealed no structural damage in his left knee.

LaVine's examination was expected after he was removed from Friday's loss to the Warriors. He'll be unavailable for Saturday's game against the Celtics but will be reassessed early next week to determine his status. However, the Bulls don't expect the 26-year-old to miss significant time. Ayo Dosunmu, Coby White and Matt Thomas are likely in line for increased roles while LaVine is sidelined.

LaVine (knee) won't travel with the team ahead of Saturday's game against Boston, Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic reports.

LaVine sustained a knee injury in Friday's loss to the Warriors and will undergo an MRI as a precautionary measure Saturday. He'll be forced to miss at least one game, which could lead to additional work for Ayo Dosunmu, Coby White and Matt Thomas.

LaVine (knee) will undergo an MRI on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

LaVine sustained a left knee injury during Friday's game against the Warriors and was unable to return. The Bulls are optimistic that the 26-year-old isn't dealing with a significant injury, but he'll still undergo further testing as a precautionary measure. If he's forced to miss additional time, Ayo Dosunmu, Coby White and Matt Thomas could see additional run.

Lavine will not return to Friday's game against the Warriors due to a left knee injury, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.

LaVine left the contest after just four minutes of action. The severity of his injury is unknown at this time, but expect an update once the Bulls provide more clarity on the situation.

LaVine finished Wednesday's 138-112 loss to Brooklyn with 22 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, six assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes.

Chicago hung tough with the Nets and trailed by only two at halftime, but Brooklyn's 39-19 third-quarter run led to an eventual blowout. Despite the Bulls' disappointing outcome, LaVine impressed by posting a team-leading 22 points on only 13 field-goal tries. The star guard has scored in double digits in every game in which he has played this season and ranks 11th in the NBA with 25.6 points per contest.

LaVine chipped in 20 points (7-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 113-99 loss to Dallas.

LaVine might have ended as Chicago's co-leading scorer alongside DeMar DeRozan since both ended with 20 points, but he wasn't efficient and needed 21 shots just to reach that aforementioned mark. This game shouldn't take anything away from what LaVine has been this season, though, as he has surpassed the 20-point plateau in all but two games since the start of December and is averaging 27.6 points per game in that span.

LaVine totaled 35 points (11-22 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 38 minutes during Saturday's 120-119 win over the Wizards.

LaVine's scoring output in this one represents his best mark since Nov. 19, when he scored 36 points against the Nuggets. The star shooting guard is one of the most electric scorers in the league, but he seems to have taken his play to a whole new level since the beginning of the 2020-21 season and has continued down the same path in 2021-22. The former Timberwolves guard has now reached the 30-point mark in four of his last six games as well.

LaVine finished with 25 points (10-13 FG, 5-7 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists across 32 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Hawks.

LaVine was red hot from deep hitting five of seven three-pointers in route to a team-high 25 points. The 26-year-old is now averaging 30.0 points and shooting an astounding 62.9 percent from deep over his last four games. LaVine's next chance to keep up this hot streak will be Friday against the Pacers.

LaVine logged 30 points (11-21 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Monday's 130-118 victory over Atlanta.

LaVine matched a season best buy recording nine assists in Monday's contest. He also scored at least 30 points for the fifth time in six games. The Bulls have been decimated by COVID-19 outbreaks, but LaVine's production has been unfazed. He's a fringe top-five asset at the shooting guard position.

LaVine closed Sunday's 113-105 victory over the Pacers with 32 points (12-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes.

Playing in his first game in two weeks, LaVine showed few signs of any rust, drilling 12 of his 18 field goal attempts, including five threes, en route to a game-high point total. Dating back to Dec. 4, LaVine has now scored at least 30 points in four of his last five appearances. Prior to Sunday, he'd spent the last week-and-a-half in the league's health and safety protocols, but due to some postponements, LaVine only ended up missing two games.

LaVine will start Sunday's game against the Pacers.

LaVine will make his highly anticipated return to the starting lineup after a lengthy stay in the league's health and safety protocols. LaVine was cleared from protocols several days ago and was able to log a practice heading into the weekend, so hopefully his conditioning won't be much of a concern. Sunday will mark LaVine's first game action since back on Dec. 11 at Miami.

LaVine (COVID-19 protocols) is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

LaVine exited protocols and practiced Thursday, so it's not too surprising that he's available Sunday. In his five December appearances, he's averaged 29.2 points, 6.4 assists and 5.8 rebounds in 36.8 minutes.

LaVine (COVID-19 protocols) is out of protocols and is practicing with the team Thursday, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

The Bulls don't play until Sunday, so it seems like there's a good chance LaVine will be available for that contest. He last played Dec. 11 against the Heat, though the Bulls have played only two games since then due to postponements. More information should arrive in the coming days, but it looks like fantasy managers will be able to put LaVine back in their starting lineups for Week 11.

LaVine (COVID-19 protocols) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against Toronto.

There's almost no chance LaVine will play, but the Bulls apparently aren't closing the door on the possibility. The expectation remains that he'll return to the mix sometime shortly after Christmas.

LaVine (COVID-19 protocols) isn't expected to return until after Christmas, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports.

This is a tough blow for fantasy managers, who have gotten increased production out of LaVine while many of his teammates were sidelined due to protocols. We already know he's out for all of next week, so managers should prepare for him being on the bench and make waiver moves if necessary to fill out a starting lineup.

The NBA has officially postponed the Bulls' next two games Tuesday against Detroit and Thursday against Toronto, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

LaVine is one of 10 Bulls players currently in health and safety protocols, so the league will push back the team's next two games in an effort to limit the spread and give Chicago time for players to return negative tests. The goal is for Sunday's game against the Lakers to be played as scheduled, but it goes without saying that all Bulls players should be pulled from fantasy lineups in weekly leagues.

LaVine has entered into the NBA's COVID-19 protocol, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Lavine becomes the latest Chicago Bull to enter into the league's COVID-19 protocol, becoming the 9th member of the Bulls to be placed in protocol. The Bulls are nearing the point where the won't even be able to dress the league-mandated minimum of eight players for a game, as there still could be more players who end up being placed into protocol. LaVine has been one of the team's top players, averaging 26 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 35.1 minutes per game. Head coach Billy Donovan is going to have to get very creative with some of his starting lineups with so many key players currently out.

LaVine chipped in 23 points (9-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-7 FT), four rebounds and nine assists in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 115-92 loss to Cleveland.

The fact that LaVine led the Bulls in scoring shouldn't be surprising at all, especially considering DeMar DeRozan (COVID-19) remains out. The star shooting guard ended a streak of two games with 30-plus points, but on the other hand, he has scored at least 23 in five games in a row. He's averaging 24.1 points over his last 10 appearances.

LaVine amassed 32 points (13-23 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Monday's 109-97 victory over Denver.

Playing without DeMar DeRozan (COVID-19 protocols), the Bulls leaned more heavily on LaVine, Nikola Vucevic and Lonzo Ball, who each scored at least 20 points in the victory. For LaVine, it was his second straight 30-point effort after he went for 31 points, eight boards, six assists and a block in Saturday's 111-107 win over the Nets in Brooklyn. He'll look to keep it rolling when the Bulls head to Cleveland to take on the Cavs on Wednesday night.

LaVine provided 27 points (9-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal during Thursday's 119-115 win over the Knicks.

LaVine was efficient and contributed across the box score. LaVine is leading the league in made field goals en route to a top-20 ranking in offensive win shares. Additionally, his season average of 25.4 points per game is good for ninth in the league. He has been a top-5 asset at the shooting guard position.

LaVine (illness) is off the injury report for Thursday's tilt against the Knicks.

As expected, LaVine's illness won't keep him off the court. Over the past five games, he's averaged 21.4 points, 3.8 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 32.4 minutes.

LaVine didn't practice Wednesday due to a non-COVID illness, but he is expected to play Thursday against the Knicks, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine landed on the injury report ahead of Monday's contest against the Hornets will a non-COVID illness, but he was able to play 35 minutes and score 25 points during the 133-119 win. Despite not practicing Wednesday, the star guard will likely be in line for a similar workload against the Knicks on Thursday.

LaVine logged 25 points (10-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes during Monday's 133-119 victory over the Hornets.

LaVine has been a deadly scoring threat for Chicago on a routine basis, as he has scored at least 20 points in all but three games so far, and he shares that role of being the team's alpha dog with DeMar DeRozan. LaVine has done more than just scoring, however, and his 5.2 rebounds per game still remain a career-best mark if he's able to sustain that through the entire season. It goes without saying that he should remain an elite fantasy contributor regardless of the format you're playing thanks to his impressive scoring ability and his solid output in other categories.

LaVine (illness) will be available and start Monday against the Hornets.

LaVine was questionable due to a non-COVID illness, but it won't prevent him from taking the court against Charlotte. The 26-year-old has averaged 20.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists across the past five games.

LaVine (illness) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Hornets.

LaVine landed on the injury report Monday morning with a non-COVID illness. The late addition suggests his status against the Hornets is very much in doubt, so if he is unable to play, then Alex Caruso, Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu will all likely see increased roles against Charlotte.

LaVine supplied 28 points (11-22 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 118-113 loss to the Rockets.

LaVine looked impressive once again and carried the Bulls despite the outcome of the game, but that shouldn't surprise anyone since the star guard has cleared the 20-point mark in all but two appearances this season. LaVine is averaging 26.1 points and a career-best 5.3 rebounds per game so far while settling as the Bulls' main scoring weapon and offensive threat on a nightly basis.

LaVine posted 17 points (7-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Monday's 109-77 loss to the Pacers.

LaVine has been one of Chicago's most reliable scorers on a nightly basis alongside DeMar DeRozan, but he had an off night in this one and struggled badly in terms of his efficiency since he needed 18 shots to barely record 17 points. This outing snapped a streak of 14 straight appearances with at least 20 points for the former Timberwolves guard.

LaVine accumulated 36 points (14-24 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 114-108 victory over the Nuggets.

Another game, another instance for LaVine to shine as a scorer. The star guard has scored at least 30 points in back-to-back games for the second time this season and he also extended his streak of appearances with at least 25 points to four contests. Firmly entrenched as one of the two alpha dogs in the Bulls' offense -- with DeMar DeRozan being the other -- LaVine has always been a strong scoring asset but he's taken his game to a whole new level over the last two years. The fact that he's been able to maintain something close to the numbers he put up last year despite the addition of DeRozan is certainly impressive.

LaVine closed with 30 points (11-20 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 112-107 loss to the Trail Blazers.

LaVine was on fire from deep in the loss, setting a season high with seven triples. He has been Curry-esque from beyond the arc of late, totaling 19 three-pointers on 38 attempts over his past three contests. The surge has catapulted him into a tie for 11th place in the league with 44 total treys on the season.

LaVine logged 26 points (10-22 FG, 6-13 3Pt), five rebounds and five assists across 34 minutes during Monday's 121-103 victory over Los Angeles.

LaVine was outshined by DeMar DeRozan (38 points) and Lonzo Ball (27-7-8), but he was plenty productive in the victory. The star guard has produced at least 22 points in 11 straight contests and is tied for seventh in the league with 25.9 points per game on the season. He also continues to improve as a rebounder -- his 5.6 boards per contest are on pace for a career-best mark.

LaVine registered 29 points (11-27 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 38 minutes during Sunday's 100-90 victory over Los Angeles.

LaVine had a green light to fire away once again Sunday, walking away with 29 points on 27 shot attempts. Both he and DeMar DeRozan are going to be very busy on the offensive end of the floor for at least the next week, and at this point, fantasy managers would simply love to see some defensive production to complement what could be some lofty scoring nights.

LaVine recorded 23 points (10-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one steal across 34 minutes during a 119-93 loss Friday against the Warriors.

LaVine's point tally did not compensate for the zero assists and seven turnovers, both his season worsts. He regularly supplies a good amount of fantasy value by recording serviceable tallies concerning those statistical categories. Before losing to the Warriors, LaVine averaged 4.2 assists and 2.5 turnovers across his last 11 Bulls games.

LaVine accumulated 23 points (8-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 117-107 win over the Mavericks.

LaVine continues to be one of the two driving forces behind the Bulls offense along with DeMar DeRozan, but the former Timberwolves guard did most of the heavy lifting in this one. He has scored at least 20 points in all but one game this season, and while he is capable of contributing in other categories as well, most of his fantasy value will be strictly tied to his scoring figures. He should be just fine as long as he stays healthy, since he has a clear, established role as one of the Bulls' go-to players on offense.

LaVine provided 24 points (10-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block in a 118-95 win over the Nets on Monday night.

Monday marked the seventh consecutive game LaVine has scored over 20 points. The fact that LaVine has supplied this production while Demar Derozan is amidst a historically hot start to the season is a tribute to his talent and hints at an uptick in rest-of-season fantasy upside. LaVine is averaging 26.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists through 10 games thus far.

LaVine posted 32 points (12-26 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 5-8 FT), nine rebounds and three assists across 38 minutes in Saturday's loss to the 76ers.

LaVine has ended just one rebound away from putting up a double-double in each of his last two contests, and he has also scored at least 22 points in six games in a row -- with his scoring output increasing in each one of those contests. He's averaging 26.3 points per game in that span.

LaVine recorded 27 points (11-24 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, an assist and a steal across 38 minutes in Wednesday's loss to Philadelphia.

LaVine came just one rebound away from posting a double-double, though that nine-rebound haul stands out as a season-high mark for him. He also extended his streak of games with at least 25 points to four contests, as he's averaging 25.8 points per tilt through eight appearances. That's the second-best mark on the team, only trailing DeMar DeRozan's 27.0 points per contest.

LaVine put up 26 points (9-20 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and a steal across 38 minutes in Monday's win over the Celtics.

LaVine has always been one of the most gifted scorers in the league and things this year haven't been any different, as he has scored at least 20 points in all but one game and is on a run of three straight contests with at least 25 points. While a reduction in his scoring numbers was expected following the offseason addition of DeMar DeRozan, LaVine continues to shine as Chicago's main scoring threat.

LaVine posted 25 points (7-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 9-9 FT), six rebounds, three assists and a block over 35 minutes in Thursday's 104-103 loss to the Knicks.

LaVine (thumb) appeared healthy while playing through ligament damage in his non-shooting hand. LaVine was in the midst of an efficient night prior to missing his final seven field goals, which may have been a factor in Coach Billy Donovan drawing up a final play for Demar Derozan instead of LaVine as time expired. Nonetheless, LaVine's injury is worth monitoring. Eventually opting for surgery would sideline LaVine for approximately four weeks.

LaVine (thumb) is starting against the Knicks on Thursday.

LaVine was expected to and will play against a 3-1 Knicks team. Despite the thumb injury, he could continue maximizing his fantasy value alongside an improving Bulls group. LaVine remains its only multi-game player whose player usage is greater than 30 percent.

LaVine (thumb) is expected to play Thursday against the Knicks, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine is dealing with a slight ligament tear in the thumb of his non-shooting hand, but the expectation has been that he'll play through the injury. We'll see how he deals with it in Thursday's game. Don't be surprised if his shot is off while he gets used to the injury.

LaVine was diagnosed with a small ligament tear in the thumb of his non-shooting hand but plans to play through the injury, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

LaVine has been productive to begin his fifth season with the Bulls, and he's played at least 32 minutes in each of the first four games of the year. During that time, he's averaged 25.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 33.8 minutes per contest. The 26-year-old will presumably be monitored in the coming days, but he's hopeful that he'll be able to remain on the court.

LaVine recorded 22 points (7-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five assists, four rebounds and a steal across 35 minutes in Monday's win over the Raptors.

LaVine was coming off a poor shooting performance last Saturday against the Pistons (14 points on 6-18 FG), but he bounced back admirably in this one and delivered a performance that's more in line with his standards and his role as one of the team's go-to players on offense. LaVine has scored at least 20 points in three of his first four games of the campaign.

LaVine recorded 14 points (6-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five assists and four rebounds across 33 minutes in Saturday's win over the Pistons.

LaVine had surpassed the 30-point mark in each of his first two games of the season, but he wasn't able to replicate that Saturday and delivered a poor shooting performance -- he made just 33.3 percent of his attempts. That might have been an outlier rather than the norm going forward, though, and if the first three games of the season have shown anything, is that LaVine will probably be Chicago's go-to player on offense above the likes of DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic.

LaVine recorded 32 points (11-19 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block during a 128-112 win Friday versus New Orleans.

LaVine recorded 30-plus points during each of his last two games. LaVine's recent point tallies are promising, especially considering neither Nikola Vucevic nor DeMar DeRozan scored fewer than he did.

Lavine ended Wednesday's season-opener against the Pistons with 34 points (11-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 11-11 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 35 minutes.

Lavine continued his dominance from last season by carrying the offensive load as many of his teammates struggled shooting the ball. With offseason pickups Demar DeRozan and Lonzo Ball making their Bulls' debuts, it's great to see Lavine keeping up his efficiency. However, DeRozan took the same amount of shots as Lavine and Vucevic took four more shots, meaning that Lavine could end up being a second or third option offensively when these fellow all-stars are hitting their shots.

LaVine finished Friday's preseason game against Memphis with 31 points (9-18 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block.

The new-look Bulls capped off an encouraging, undefeated preseason with a resounding win over the Grizzlies in which four of five starters played at least 30 minutes. LaVine closes out the exhibition schedule with averages of 22.5 points (51.7% FG), 3.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 29.0 minutes per game.

LaVine (COVID-19 protocols) has been cleared to travel to Tokyo on Thursday for the Olympics, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Health and safety protocols clouded LaVine's availability for Team USA, but he's been cleared. With Bradley Beal (COVID-19 protocols) and Kevin Love (calf) being replaced by Keldon Johnson and JaVale McGee, LaVine may take on a bigger role than previously expected.

LaVine has been placed under health and safety protocols and will not travel with team to Tokyo on Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

The move was made with an "abundance of caution", according to team officials, and the hope is that LaVine will be able to join the American squad in Tokyo later in the week. It is unclear if that means the UCLA product will be eligible for Sunday, when Team USA opens play against France. The team is currently traveling to Tokyo with only eight players as Devin Booker, Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton are still competing in the NBA Finals.

LaVine (knee) will not play Sunday against the Bucks.

With the Bulls eliminated from postseason contention, LaVine and Nikola Vucevic will both be held out for maintenance purposes.

LaVine is dealing with knee discomfort and will not play Saturday against the Nets, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

The Bulls have officially been eliminated from the play-in tournament, so there's no reason to risk further injury to LaVine. In his absence, more minutes will be available for Coby White and Garrett Temple.

LaVine recorded 24 points (8-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes in Thursday's 114-102 win over the Raptors.

Thanks to LaVine's exemplary night, Chicago's playoff aspirations still have a pulse as the season winds down. Since his return to action after sitting in COVID-19 protocols for over two weeks, LaVine's averaged 26.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists over five games.

LaVine had 41 points (15-27 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in Tuesday's loss to the Nets.

LaVine did all he could to keep the Bulls in it, but Chicago is now 3.0 games behind the Wizards and will need to win out -- and get some major help -- to have a chance to snag a play-in spot. LaVine was the only Bulls player to score more than 16 points on a night when Chicago shot just 40.6 percent from the field while allowing Brooklyn to hit 47.2 percent of its field goals. The Bulls will finish out the regular season with games against Toronto (Thursday), Brooklyn (Saturday) and Milwaukee (Sunday).

LaVine tallied 30 points (10-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six assists and three rebounds across 36 minutes Sunday in the Bulls' 108-96 win over the Pistons.

Facing off against a Detroit team holding out several key regulars due to injuries or rest, LaVine took advantage of the favorable matchup and delivered his best line in his first three games back from a COVID-19-related absence. With LaVine also upping his minutes count to 36 on Sunday after getting 27 and 30, respectively, in his first two outings since returning, he looks like he'll be free of any restrictions heading into the Bulls' final four games of the season. Since the Bulls are still in the thick of contention for a spot in the Eastern Conference's play-in tournament, LaVine doesn't look like a candidate to sit out for rest purposes at any point during the upcoming week, unless the Bulls are already eliminated from playoff contention heading into Sunday's regular-season finale.

LaVine compiled 25 points (10-24 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 33 minutes in Friday's 121-99 win over the Celtics.

As expected, LaVine's minutes ramped up in his second game back. His presence seems to be doing wonders for the Bulls, as the team followed up a 21-beatdown on Charlotte with a 22-point victory tonight. LaVine gives Chicago its best chance to make a late run for the play-in game, but they'll need to win almost all of their remaining games to get there.

LaVine scored 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt) with three rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes in a 120-99 victory over the Hornets on Thursday.

LaVine had a quiet performance in his return to the lineup after an 11-game absence due to health and safety protocols. It could take a few games for the guard to get his legs and conditioning back but his return is a big boost offensively for both the Bulls and fantasy managers. Look for LaVine to come out more aggressive Friday, as he had 30 points last time Chicago played Boston.

LaVine (COVID-19 protocols) will play Thursday against the Hornets.

LaVine will likely start Thursday's game, but there's a chance he'll be on a minutes limit with possible conditioning concerns. His return will mean fewer shots for Coby White and possibly fewer minutes for Garrett Temple.

LaVine (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) plans to return to the Bulls lineup for Thursday's game in Charlotte, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

LaVine completed his mandatory quarantine last week and has since resumed individual workouts, but the Bulls will likely assess how he looks from a conditioning standpoint at Wednesday's practice before a formal decision is made on his availability for Thursday. The return of the All-Star guard from an 11-game absence -- even in a limited capacity -- would be a major boon for a Bulls squad that sits four games behind the Wizards for the final spot in the Eastern Conference's play-in tournament. LaVine's return would likely be most detrimental to Coby White, who has started each of the last 11 games while averaging 18.4 points, 6.1 assists and 2.8 triples per contest.

LaVine (COVID-19 protocols) won't play Monday against the 76ers, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

As expected, LaVine will be held out of his 11th straight contest, but he has been taking steps in the right direction. The All-Star has begun working out individually, and the team is hopeful that he'll be cleared to return in time for Thursday's clash with Charlotte.

LaVine (COVID-19 protocols) is doubtful for Monday's game against the 76ers.

LaVine is on track to miss an 11th consecutive game due to the league's health and safety protocols. Garrett Temple and Javonte Green should continue to see increased run.

LaVine (COVID-19 protocols) is expected to be out "another week or so," Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

This is rough news for the Bulls, who have already missed LaVine for seven straight games are desperately clinging to a play-in spot in the Eastern Conference. While LaVine remains out, Coby White should continue seeing extra usage as a starter.

LaVine (COVID-19 protocols) is not on the Bulls' road trip that ends after Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.

LaVine will continue to miss time while in health and safety protocols. It's not clear when exactly he'll return, but it won't be until Friday against the Bucks at the earliest. In the meantime, Garrett Temple, Tomas Satoransky and Coby White should continue seeing extra usage.

LaVine has entered the league's health and safety protocols and is expected to miss multiple games, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

It's unclear if LaVine, himself, tested positive for the virus, but as has been the case throughout the season, he'll remain away from the team for multiple days as he passes through the league's protocols. The Bulls couldn't lose LaVine at a worse time, as they battle for playoff positioning in the Eastern Conference. After Wednesday night's horrendous loss to the Magic, Chicago has dropped four straight games and fallen down to 10th place in the standings.

LaVine dropped 30 points (11-22 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, five rebounds, two blocks and a steal across 39 minutes during the loss Wednesday to the Magic.

That's LaVine's third 30-point outing in his last four contests and seventh straight game with at least five assists. LaVine is showing he can do more than just score and he's also showing he's not afraid to go up and grab a rebound as his 5.1 rebounds this season are a career best. Wednesday was LaVine's 10th game this season posting at least 30-5-5.

LaVine mustered 21 points (5-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine assists, four rebounds and two blocks across 36 minutes in Monday's loss against the Grizzlies.

LaVine didn't have his best shooting performance, but the fact that he made 11 trips to the charity stripe certainly salvaged what would've otherwise been a poor scoring output. LaVine has surpassed the 20-point mark in four straight games and should remain the Bulls' main scoring threat even with Nikola Vucevic on the roster.

LaVine had 30 points (13-28 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and six assists in Sunday's loss to Minnesota.

Coming off of a 50-point effort against the Hawks on Friday, LaVine followed up with another big scoring game, but it wasn't enough to propel Chicago to victory. LaVine remains one of the league's elite scorers, though prior to the last two games he'd gone nine straight contests without reaching 30 points.

Lavine went off for 50 points (18-31 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds and five assists over 39 minutes in Friday's loss to the Hawks.

LaVine went off for 25 straight points in the second quarter en route to a 39-point first half. The second half though was a different story as he went for just 11 points on 5-of-12 shooting while missing all three shots from beyond the arc. On the year, LaVine is averaging career highs in multiple categories including points, rebounds and assists. He's also sporting a 50-40-85 shooting line, all career highs.

LaVine finished Thursday's 122-113 win over the Raptors with 22 points (8-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 13 assists, six rebounds, three steals and a blocked shot across 38 minutes.

While LaVine tied for the team lead in scoring in the win, his biggest impact came as a passer. The veteran guard's 13 assists were a single-game high for the season and fell one short of the career-high mark he set back in 2014. LaVine's 27.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game this season are each a career high.

LaVine (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Raptors.

As expected, LaVine will play through a sprained left ankle. Across his past 10 appearances, he's averaged 22.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 33.7 minutes.

LaVine (ankle) is probable for Thursday's matchup against the Raptors due to a sprained left ankle.

LaVine missed a game March 31 against the Suns due to a right ankle sprain, but this time, it's a left ankle sprain that's afflicting LaVine. Still, he's expected to play. Across his past 10 appearances, he's averaged 22.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 33.7 minutes.

LaVine tallied 19 points (6-18 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one block in 35 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Pacers.

Since missing Wednesday's game due to a sprained right ankle, LaVine has played 30-plus minutes in three straight games. The 26-year-old is back to his elite scoring ways, posting 23, 25 and 19 points over his past three games, respectively. The seventh-year guard should continue playing heavy minutes for a Bulls team that's 3.0 games back behind the Celtics for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.

LaVine posted 25 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-12 FT), five assists and three rebounds across 35 minutes in Sunday's 115-107 win over the Nets.

LaVine showed no ill effects from the ankle injury that's been plaguing him over the past couple of weeks and led the new-look Bulls to a nice win over the short-handed Nets. LaVine and new teammate Nikola Vucevic seem to have developed a synergy already, which could amount o boosted numbers for the duo.

LaVine (ankle) will play and start in Sunday's game against Brooklyn.

LaVine will play as expected Sunday after he had been listed as probable after recovering from a right ankle sprain. LaVine is averaging a career high of 27.4 points per game so far this season.

LaVine (ankle) is probable for Sunday's matchup against the Nets.

After a one-game absence, LaVine returned to action Friday against the Jazz, and he's expected to play again Sunday. Over his past five appearances, he's averaged 20.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 31.4 minutes.

LaVine (ankle) is good to go for Friday's matchup against the Jazz.

LaVine is coming off his first missed game of the season due to a right ankle sprain. His quick return to the court indicates the issue was nothing too serious. He figures to be in line for his usual role assuming he does not suffer any type of setback.

LaVine (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Utah.

LaVine missed his first game of the season on Wednesday due to a right ankle sprain, and he remains uncertain for Friday's game. If the 26-year-old All-Star is sidelined for Friday's game as well, Javonte Green and Denzel Valentine could see increased workloads.

LaVine (ankle) is unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

The 26-year-old was officially considered questionable with a sprained right ankle, but it's not a major surprise he's sitting out after coach Billy Donovan said Tuesday the ankle was "not great." Garrett Temple (hamstring) and Coby White (neck) are also sidelined, leaving the Bulls without three regular contributors in the backcourt. Javonte Green, Denzel Valentine and Ryan Arcidiacono could see increased run Wednesday while LaVine misses his first game of the season.

Coach Billy Donovan said LaVine's ankle is "not great," and the guard is considered questionable for Wednesday's game at Phoenix, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

The 26-year-old said he may need some time off to return to full health after suffering the right ankle sprain during Monday's loss to Golden State, so it's no surprise to see his status for Wednesday is in question. LaVine didn't participate in Tuesday's practice and likely will need to show some improvement to avoid missing a game. Garrett Temple (hamstring) also picked up an injury Monday, so Chicago could have it's backcourt depth tested against the Suns.

LaVine stated after Monday's game against Golden State that he might need time to return to health after rolling his ankle again, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

LaVine entered the night with an existing ankle issue, and while he was cleared to play, he could miss additional time after re-injuring the same ankle. The Bulls should provide a status update on the All-Star later in the week.

LaVine (ankle) is listed as available for Monday's game against the Warriors.

As anticipated, LaVine will be ready to go Monday evening despite an ankle issue. He's averaging 25.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists through 12 contests in March.

LaVine is probable for Monday's game against the Warriors due to a right ankle sprain.

LaVine played through his ankle injury during Saturday's loss to the Spurs and appears likely to do so once again Monday. He recorded 18 points in 28 minutes during Saturday's matchup and could see a similar workload if he suits up Monday.

LaVine posted 18 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Spurs.

LaVine was questionable heading into Saturday's game with a sprained right ankle, but he ended up playing and scoring 18 points. The seventh-year guard has played in all 44 games this season, averaging 27.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 3.4 three-pointers in that span. LaVine and the Bulls will look to snap their three-game skid Monday when they play against the Warriors.

LaVine (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

The 26-year-old was considered questionable with a sprained right ankle but won't end up missing his first game of the season. LaVine has averaged 25.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 35.0 minutes across the past five games.

LaVine is questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs due to a sprained right ankle.

LaVine hasn't missed a game all season. He's still playing at an All-Star level, as this month, he's averaged 26.5 points on 18.5 shots, 4.6 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 34.3 minutes. If LaVine sits out Saturday, more minutes would be available for Garrett Temple and Denzel Valentine.

LaVine recorded 22 points (8-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one block during Wednesday's loss to Cleveland.

LaVine led the Bulls offensively in this one, as the guard reached the 20-point plateau for a fifth time over the past six games while knocking down at least three threes for a sixth straight. Since his 40-point outburst against the Thunder on March 16, LaVine is averaging 25.6 points over his past five matchups.

LaVine tallied 27 points (10-25 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes during Monday's loss to the Jazz.

The 26-year-old has now scored double-digits in every game he's played in this season. The first time All-Star is averaging career highs in points (28.3), rebounds (5.0), three-pointers (3.5) and field-goal percentage (52 percent). LaVine should continue seeing heavy minutes for a Bulls team that's only 1.5 games behind the Celtics for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.

LaVine went for 18 points (6-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 33 minutes in Sunday's win over the Pistons.

LaVine's previous three games saw him score, 40, 29 and 32 points respectively while hitting greater than 50 percent of his shots in each outing. LaVine has also failed to help out fantasy managers in other aspects of the game, totaling just five boards and five assists over his last two games while failing to record a steal. Still, he is averaging 26.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 3.2 treys per game while shooting 53.8 percent from the floor for the month of March.

Lavine scored 29 points (12-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and added six rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in a 106-99 loss to the Spurs on Wednesday.

The Bulls led by as many as 23 points, but Lavine simply didn't get enough production from his teammates to protect the lead. The guard scored 10 of the team's 19 points in the fourth quarter and only two other players shot over 50 percent from the field. Lavine has been spectacular all season long, averaging a career-high 28.4 points per game to go along with 5.2 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game.

LaVine posted 40 points (15-20 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 123-102 win over the Thunder.

Tuesday marked LaVine's third 40-point performance of the season. It was a bounceback effort for LaVine, who scored fewer than 20 points in two of the prior three games. His performance was also just the 10th time this season that a player has gone for at least 40 points while taking 20 or fewer shots.

LaVine produced 15 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists and a blocked shot across 34 minutes in Sunday's 118-95 win over the Raptors.

A change in the starting lineup hurt LaVine's production as the Bulls put together one of their most balanced games. Nine players scored in double-digits, and with so many efficient performances, LaVine's numbers took an uncharacteristic downturn. Still, this outing was a step in the right direction for the Bulls, and LaVine will continue to play at a high level despite this outlier game.

LaVine had 30 points (10-16 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 38 minutes in Friday's loss against the Heat.

LaVine carried the Bulls offensively once again and delivered a strong performance across the board, highlighted by the fact that he reached the 30-point mark for the second time over his last three games. He's started March on an absolute tear, averaging 27.0 points while shooting 53.5 percent from the field in four games this month.

LaVine tallied 19 points (7-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven assists and four rebounds over 32 minutes in the loss to the 76ers on Thursday.

His 19 points snapped a streak of 21 consecutive games in which LaVine scored at least 20. Still, LaVine is averaging career highs in nearly every major category. The only downside for him has been his turnovers as he has turned the ball over at least four times in five straight games while averaging a career worst 3.9 giveaways per game.

LaVine produced 36 points (12-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, and 8-8 FT), eight assists, two rebounds and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 128-124 victory over the Pelicans.

Lavine heads into his first All-Star game as one of the hottest players in the league. He ranks as the 16th best player in fantasy basketball and has the Bulls sitting in the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference. Most GMs were likely to have grabbed LaVine in the third round and so he is returning plenty of value thus far.

LaVine scored 23 points (9-20 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT) to go along with nine rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block across 32 minutes in Monday's loss to the Nuggets.

LaVine uncharacteristically struggled with his shot from both beyond the arc and the free-throw line. However, he still managed to contribute positively, hauling in at least nine boards for the fourth time this season. In addition, LaVine chipped in defensive stats for the first time in his last three contests.

LaVine and the Bulls won't play the Raptors on Sunday since the game was postponed due to COVID-19 protocols, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Toronto doesn't have the minimum eight players available due to the NBA's health and safety protocols, leading to the postponement. The Bulls don't currently have any COVID-19 issues within the team, so they should face the Nuggets on Monday as scheduled.

LaVine threw together 24 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound and four assists in 33 minutes during the 106-97 loss to Phoenix on Friday.

LaVine is no doubt the main producer for Chicago and it shows game in and game out. The guard is on a tear and has only produced less than 20 points a handful of times this season. He is also currently on pace to set new career high averages in points, rebounds and assists. LaVine is the perfect provider that covers multiple areas of the floor and is the only hope to return Chicago back to their glory days. If you are looking for someone that is versatile and can help in more ways than just one, this is your man.

LaVine recorded 35 points (14-21 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 41 minutes during Wednesday's overtime win over the Timberwolves.

LaVine keeps scoring at a frenetic pace and reached the 30-point threshold for the fifth time over his last six games -- and eighth time across his last 10 appearances. He has been one of the league's elite scorers all season long and managed to deliver a stellar performance against his former team, but he is also scoring the rock with a high level of efficiency. The star guard has shot 55.5 percent from the field in that aforementioned 10-game stretch.

LaVine scored 21 points (7-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) to go along with five rebounds and six assists across 32 minutes in Monday's win over the Rockets.

LaVine played his lowest minutes total of his last 10 games as the Bulls blew out the Rockets. That was one of the reasons the he failed to reach 30 points for the first time in his last four games, though he continued to shoot the ball particularly well from three-point range and the free-throw line. LaVine also continued to chip in strong peripheral production, as he's averaging a career-best 5.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists through 30 contests this season.

LaVine produced 38 points (15-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals across 36 minutes in Saturday's 122-114 win over the Kings.

Few teams would be able to bounce back with a signature win after the beatdown the Sixers gave the Bulls on Friday, but a gutsy performance by LaVine helped to reverse the team's fortunes. Lavine is playing as well as anyone in the league and is deserving of a role as a reserve in the upcoming All-Star Game,

LaVine posted 30 points (9-28 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 10-10 FT), five rebounds, five assists, two steals and a block across 38 minutes in Friday's loss against the 76ers.

LaVine's performance looks good on the surface, as he filled the stat sheet and also reached the 30-point plateau for the sixth time over his last seven games. However, he struggled badly from the field and his 10 trips to the charity stripe saved what would've otherwise been an awful fantasy performance from both a scoring and an accuracy perspective. LaVine remains one of the best scorers in the league, though, and he should remain a must-start player across all formats even if he has down games from time to time. He produces enough volume to deliver value even when his shot isn't falling.

LaVine totaled 37 points (14-22 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 105-102 victory over the Pistons.

LaVine put the team on his shoulders during what was an impressive second-half comeback. It was simply another notch in the belt for Lavine who is putting together the best season of his career thus far. He sits as the 18th ranked player in standard leagues and while selling high could be an option, you may simply want to hold on and enjoy the ride.

LaVine and the Bulls will play host to the Pistons on Wednesday night, Marc Stein of the New York Times reports.

As expected, the league will schedule a Pistons-Bulls matchup after both teams had their originally scheduled games postponed. The Bulls were initially supposed to face the Hornets, while Detroit was scheduled to play in Dallas on Wednesday.

LaVine and the Bulls look like they'll be playing Wednesday against the Pistons as the league reworks the schedule for the two teams, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

The league is moving toward scheduling a game Wednesday for Chicago and Detroit after the two teams had games postponed due to COVID-19 related protocols. If this new game is finalized, Chicago would be back to having three games remaining for the week against Detroit, Philadelphia and Sacramento.

LaVine and the Bulls will not play Wednesday against the Hornets after the game was postponed, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

The postponement stems from positive COVID-19 tests within the Spurs, who played against the Hornets on Sunday. As a result, Charlotte's next two games have been postponed. The Bulls will resume play Friday night in Philadelphia.

LaVine scored 30 points (11-25 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT) to go along with nine rebounds and three assists across 38 minutes in Monday's win over the Pacers.

LaVine reached at least 30 points for the fourth time in his last five games, though he had the benefit of overtime to get there. While he's still shooting 85.4 percent from the free-throw line on the campaign, he's stumbled from the charity stripe a bit of late by knocking down 17 of his last 25 attempts across his last five contests. LaVine continues to post career-best marks in many statistical categories, though he has failed to tally a steal in any of his last three games and is now averaging 1.0 per contest.

LaVine logged 26 points (11-21 FG, 4-7 3Pt), nine rebounds and six assists in Friday's 125-106 loss to the Clippers.

LaVine was one rebound short of his season high, which he recorded on Jan. 23 against the other Los Angeles team. He may be averaging 5.4 rebounds and 5.3 assists (both season highs) but only owns two double-doubles across 25 games. LaVine's primary value is obviously scoring, which he has continued to do with his fifth consecutive performance of 26 points or more.

LaVine went off for 46 points (17-25 FG, 9-14 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and a block across 38 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Pelicans.

LaVine not only posted a season-high mark in points, but he also registered a season-high mark for field-goals made while also posting his second-best output for threes made. LaVine has already scored 30 or more points in 11 games this season, and he's firmly entrenched as one of the top scoring threats in The Association.

LaVine scored 35 points (12-26 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 8-11 FT) to go along with two rebounds, six assists and one steal across 38 minutes in Monday's loss to the Wizards.

LaVine continued to serve as the Bulls' primary playmaker and scorer and has now topped 20 field-goal attempts in each of his last four games. While he's still shooting 85.9 percent from the free-throw line for the season, LaVine has combined to only 10-for-16 from the free-throw line across his last two contests -- a situation worth monitoring in upcoming games. Even so, he continues to post the best numbers of his career in nearly every statistical category, highlighted by 27.4 points and 5.3 assists per game.

LaVine scored 39 points (16-25 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-5 FT) to go along with seven rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes in Saturday's win over the Magic.

LaVine had his best scoring game since Jan. 10 and was particularly efficient from three-point range. The only blemish on his line came from uncharacteristic struggles from the free-throw line, though he's still shooting 87.2 percent for the season. While LaVine isn't known for his prowess as a passer or rebounder, he is putting up career-high marks in both categories by averaging 5.3 boards and 5.3 dimes per game through 22 contests.

LaVine totaled 26 points (9-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 123-119 loss to the Magic.

Since a 10-point performance on Jan. 17, LaVine has scored at least 21 points in eight straight games and has shot the ball consistently well, not just during that stretch, but across the entire season. While he did struggle from distance for a second consecutive game, he is still knocking down a career-best 39.5 percent of his three-pointers. He's also 25-for-25 from the charity stripe in his last seven games.

LaVine scored 24 points (10-21 FG, 0-7 3PT, 4-4 FT) to go along with five rebounds and seven assists across 38 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Knicks.

LaVine led the team with 24 points, but had a dreadful night from three-point range by missing all seven of his attempts. The struggles appear to be an outlier, as he entered the game shooting a career-best 41.9 percent from beyond the arc. Otherwise, his performance fell in line with his season averages, though he failed to record a steal for only the third time in his last 10 contests.

LaVine scored 21 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go along with five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 32 minutes in Monday's win over the Knicks.

LaVine was overshadowed by Lauri Markkanen, but still managed a well-rounded stat line. He continued to play with strong efficiency, as both his true shooting and effective field percentage have risen over eight percent from the 2019-20 season. That has helped him slightly increase his per-game scoring despite an overall dip in volume.

LaVine had 26 points (9-12 FG, 6-8 3PT, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in Saturday's loss to Portland.

The high-scoring guard nailed six threes for the second consecutive game, but it wasn't enough as the Bulls fell on a last-second buzzer-beater by Damian Lillard. LaVine is now averaging a career-high 26.9 points per game on the season while holding a 51/42/88 shooting line. The major drawback, however, is that he's posting a career-high 4.4 turnovers per game, compared to 5.2 assists.

LaVine tallied 30 points (11-19 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 34 minutes in Monday's loss against the Celtics.

LaVine is the unquestioned leader of the Bulls' offense and proved it once again, putting up his eighth game of the season with 30 or more points. LaVine has surpassed the 20-point mark in all but four of his games thus far and should remain an elite scoring asset across all formats, with the added value of producing rebounds and dimes at a decent rate as well.

LaVine scored 21 points (9-23 FG, 1-6 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go along with 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 36 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Lakers.

LaVine led the team in points, rebounds and minutes. However, it wasn't his best performance, as he struggled to get his shot to fall from all areas of the floor. He also turned the ball over seven times, as the Bulls were being blown out for the majority of the contest. Despite some of the negatives to the game, LaVine did manage to record his second double-double of the season.

LaVine scored 25 points (8-12 FG, 3-6 3PT, 6-6 FT) to go along with six rebounds, nine assists, one steal and one block across 36 minutes in Friday's win over the Hornets.

LaVine has been able to score at will of late and is averaging 31.1 points across his last seven games. While he didn't see his typical volume from the field on Friday, he worked efficiently on the way to his 25 points. In addition to scoring, LaVine has taken on more ball-handling duties this season and is averaging 5.5 assists per game -- over one per game more than his previous career-best mark.

LaVine produced 33 points (11-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven assists, four rebounds, two steals and a blocked shot across 37 minutes in Monday's 125-120 win over the Rockets.

LeVine followed up a superb 35-point game against the Thunder with another excellent stat line Monday. He's now scored 30-plus points in five straight games and shows no sign of slowing down as the Bulls scratch and claw their way back to .500. The core of his brilliant scoring totals originates from beyond the arc, where he's currently converting 39 percent of his shots.

LaVine notched 35 points (11-19 FG, 8-14 3Pt, 5-9 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and a steal across 43 minutes in Friday's overtime loss against the Thunder.

LaVine has been an absolute scoring machine and extended his streak of games with at least 30 points to four contests -- he has also reached that feat six times already. LaVine has also made 58.2 percent of his field goals and 52 percent from beyond the arc in that four-game stretch, so he has been scoring with high volume and high accuracy numbers, making him one of the league's best pure scorers through the first month of the 2020-21 campaign.

Tuesday's game for LaVine between the Bulls and Celtics has been postponed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Due to contact tracing, the Celtics will not have the required eight players available for Tuesday's game, so it will be made up at a later date. The Bulls will now be off until Friday's game in Oklahoma City, giving the team four full rest days. LaVine has been on a tear of late, averaging 38.3 points over his last three outings, including a 45-point eruption Sunday against the Clippers.

LaVine finished with 45 points (15-26 FG, 10-16 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven boards, and seven assists in 42 minutes of a 130-127 loss to the Clippers on Sunday.

LaVine set a season high in points in the contest, thanks in part to an outstanding day shooting from deep. He's now dropped more than 30 points in his last three games and four of his last five. He'll next face the Celtics on Tuesday.

LaVine tallied 38 points (14-22 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals in a loss to the Lakers on Friday.

LaVine started off hot with 19 first-quarter points, making all eight of his field-goal attempts in the period. He slowed down a bit the rest of the way but still led all players with 38 points. The guard had a chance to put Chicago ahead with less than five seconds remaining in the contest but missed a 17-footer. Still, it was another big scoring effort for the 25-year-old; he has scored at least 32 points in three of his past four contests and is averaging a robust 26.0 points per game this season.

LaVine posted 32 points (13-24 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 36 minutes Wednesday in the Bulls' 128-124 loss to the Kings.

The Sacramento defense had no answer for the Chicago backcourt, as LaVine and point guard Coby White (career-high 36 points) both knocked down more than half of their shots on heavy volume. Life under new head coach Billy Donovan hasn't proven to be much different thus far for LaVine, whose averages of 24.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.4 triples and 1.3 steals are all roughly in line with his numbers from 2019-20.

LaVine tallied 18 points (6-18 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine assists, four rebounds and two blocks in 43 minutes of Tuesday's 111-108 win over Portland.

Coming off a season high in points and shooting accuracy his last time out, LaVine fell back to earth in those areas, having his worst night of the season in terms of field-goal percentage. However, he made up for it by logging a new season best in assists to lead the team in the category.

LaVine registered 39 points (14-25 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 8-9 FT) while adding six rebounds, five assists and three steals across 39 minutes in Sunday's win over the Mavericks.

LaVine has never been known for his shooting accuracy, but he was particularly sharp in this one while reaching a season-best mark for him. LaVine has regularly been Chicago's top scorer this season and is averaging 24.5 points per game.

LaVine scored 16 points (7-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT) while adding six rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 27 minutes in Friday's loss against the Bucks.

LaVine paced the Bulls in scoring once again, and that has been a trend this season -- he is expected to carry an even bigger responsibility on the offensive end of the court while Lauri Markkanen (COVID-19) remains sidelined. LaVine has surpassed the 20-point mark in four of his six games this season and has scored more than 15 points in every game he's featured so far, so his role as a reliable scoring threat is quite clear.

LaVine scored 22 points (6-17 FG, 1-7 3PT, 9-10 FT) to go along with six rebounds, seven assists and a block across 35 minutes in Thursday's win over the Wizards.

LaVine wasn't able to find his shot in the back-to-back set against the Wizards, combining to shoot 12-for-32 from the field. Even so, he racked up plenty of volume, most notably accruing four steals and a block across the two contests. LaVine has been locked into heavy minutes and should continue to serve as the team's primary playmaker -- also giving him the chance to rack up assists.

LaVine compiled 23 points (6-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), six assists, five rebounds and four steals in 38 minutes Tuesday in the Bulls' 115-107 win over the Wizards.

LaVine's shot wasn't falling Tuesday, but he made up for it with the assist and steal totals, which were both season highs. He remains locked in as the Bulls' go-to option on offense, and he could see even more volume than normal in Thursday's rematch with Washington if Lauri Markkanen (calf) -- who exited early Tuesday and is listed as questionable for the contest -- is unable to play.

LaVine scored 33 points (11-23 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 7-9 FT) while adding seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks across 35 minutes in Sunday's loss against the Warriors.

LaVine has shot close to 50 percent from the field in each of his first three games so far, which is quite an accomplishment for him given he's yet to shoot 47 percent from the field in a single season. LaVine has a defined role as the Bulls' go-to guy on offense and he should continue to post strong scoring numbers on a game-to-game basis regardless of the opposition due to his usage rate and high-volume shooting.

LaVine posted 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two assists across 29 minutes in Saturday's loss against the Pacers.

LaVine finished the game as the Bulls' leading scorer, and he has accomplished that feat in each of Chicago's first two games while shooting at a decent level -- he has made 15 of his 32 shots from the field so far. LaVine might not have a lot of help on offense, but he should remain as Chicago's go-to guy on that end of the floor moving forward. His next chance to play will come Sunday against the Warriors.

LaVine registered 22 points (9-19 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, an assist and a steal across 25 minutes during Wednesday's loss against the Hawks.

LaVine played the fewest minutes of any starter and still paced the Bulls in scoring, which is a testament to both his scoring ability and his role as the team's go-to guy on offense. He will try to deliver another strong scoring output Saturday against the Pacers.

LaVine recorded 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Friday's 105-103 preseason win over the Thunder.

LaVine was one of two Chicago players that scored 20 or more points, and that kind of production should be the floor for the athletic shooting guard. He will be the team's go-to guy on offense on most nights and is coming off a career-best 25.5 points per game in 2019-20.

LaVine posted 24 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block over 25 minutes in Wednesday's 124-103 preseason win over the Thunder.

LaVine might have ended second in the team in scoring -- behind Coby White's 27-point effort -- but his role as the Bulls' top scoring threat ahead of the beginning of the regular season shouldn't be in question. He has scored at least 23 points in back-to-back games and that's the kind of production that can be expected out of him once the season starts, as he scored a career-best 25.5 points per game in 2019-20.

LaVine registered 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and a block across 27 minutes during Sunday's 104-91 win over the Rockets.

LaVine ended just one rebound shy of a double-double -- he achieved that feat just two times during the 2019-20 regular season. LaVine is expected to be Chicago's driving scoring force this upcoming season and is coming off a strong campaign in 2019-20, averaging a career-best 25.5 points per game.

LaVine (quadriceps) is expected to participate Sunday in a televised H-O-R-S-E shooting competition between NBA and WNBA players and recent NBA alumni, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

All eight players taking part in the competition will film their shot attempts at indoor or outdoor locations at home, with LaVine set to take on retired NBA legend Paul Pierce in a first-round matchup. LaVine missed the Bulls' final five games before the NBA suspended its season March 12 due to the coronavirus pandemic, but his involvement in this weekend's event suggests he's healthy now after having more than a month off to recover from the quad injury.

LaVine (quad) is doubtful for Thursday's contest against the Magic.

As expected, LaVine will probably need some more time to recover from his strained left quad, which has kept him out since Mar. 2. Assuming he's out Thursday, his next chance to play arrives Saturday against the Heat.

LaVine (quad) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Cavs, Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic reports.

It'll be the fifth straight absence for LaVine, who was initially hoping to get back on the floor Tuesday night. He'll miss at least one more game, however, with his sights now set on a potential return Thursday in Orlando. The Bulls appear poised to start Coby White and Denzel Valentine in the backcourt Tuesday, with Tomas Satoransky shifting to the bench.

Coach Jim Boylen said that LaVine (quadriceps) won't play in Sunday's game against the Nets, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

After missing three straight games with a left quad strain, LaVine was able to go through portions of Saturday's practice, prompting the Bulls to upgrade him to questionable for Sunday. The Bulls apparently want to see the star guard go through a full workout before clearing him to play however, so LaVine looks like he'll have to wait until at least Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers before returning to action. LaVine's continued absence should open up another start on the wing for Denzel Valentine.

LaVine (quadriceps) will continue to be considered questionable for Sunday's tilt with Brooklyn after taking part in a partial practice Saturday, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine's status remains up in the air as the team has yet to make an official change to his availability for Sunday's contest. His inclusion in practice was a positive step in his recovery from a sore left quadriceps, though the reduced nature of it could indicate that the team plans on holding him out against the Nets. That said, a more detailed update on LaVine's status should come out in the leadup to tipoff.

LaVine (quad) said Tuesday that he expects to miss roughly a week with a sore left quad, KC Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine already missed Monday's game against the Mavs, and he appears poised to miss at least three more games as the Bulls exercise caution with their leading scorer. Assuming LaVine's self-proclaimed timetable holds up, he could make his return to action next Tuesday (Mar. 10) at home against Cleveland. Denzel Valentine started in LaVine's place Monday night.

LaVine (quad) will not play Monday against the Mavericks, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.

As expected, LaVine will sit out Monday due to a quadriceps injury. He's being considered day-to-day, per Swirsky, with Denzel Valentine starting in his place vs. Dallas.

LaVine (quadriceps) has been downgraded to doubtful for Monday's game against the Mavericks, Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic reports.

LaVine's quadriceps injury appears to have worsened overnight, though the severity of the issue remains unclear. While a team update should clarify his status ahead of tipoff, in the event LaVine's held out, Coby White (back), Ryan Arcidiacono and Denzel Valentine would all be candidates to enter the starting lineup.

LaVine (quad) is considered probable for Monday's game against Dallas.

LaVine appeared to tweak his quad during Saturday's loss to the Knicks, but the probable designation implies that it's nothing serious. His status is something to monitor over the next 24 hours, but expect the Bulls' leading scorer to be in the lineup Monday night.

LaVine had 26 points (10-25 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-5 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 125-115 loss to the Knicks.

The free throws are somewhat concerning as LaVine is now 10-for-21 over the last five games, but it was otherwise a fairly standard performance. The 24-year-old apparently tweaked his quadriceps pregame and rode the stationary bike throughout the contest to keep it loose, per K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago, but it's not believed to be a serious concern. That could certainly change after playing through the injury, so it's worth keeping an eye on the injury report for Monday's matchup with the Mavericks.

LaVine posted 41 points (19-35 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 0-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 124-122 loss to the Thunder.

LaVine accounted for 35 of the Bulls' 97 shot attempts Tuesday, and he scored efficiently. The effort marked LaVine's sixth 40-point game of the season and the fifth game of his career with at least 40 points, five rebounds and four assists. In February, LaVine is averaging 28.1 points on 21.0 shots, plus 5.1 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 2.1 steals.

LaVine notched 32 points (11-20 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block in 36 minutes during Sunday's 126-117 win over the Wizards.

LaVine has topped the 30-point mark thrice in his last five games, and he remains one of the league's most electric scorers. He has also made at least five threes in three games during that span.

LaVine went for 20 points (8-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block in 36 minutes during Saturday's 112-104 loss against the Suns.

LaVine has been playing at a high level in February and while he's always going to be a scoring threat, he's doing it with a high degree of efficiency. One of the league's natural-born scorers, LaVine has reached the 20-point mark in four of his last five games and has made 49.6 percent of his shots in six February outings.

LaVine scored a game-high 41 points (15-21 FG, 8-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT) while adding nine rebounds, four assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 126-114 loss to the Wizards.

The 24-year-old got a good warmup from beyond the arc prior to his All-Star Weekend appearance in the three-point contest, but LaVine once again didn't get a lot of help from the rest of the Bulls roster. He's now scored 40-plus three times in the last 12 games, averaging 27.8 points, 5.3 boards, 4.7 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.8 steals over that stretch.

LaVine (neck) is starting Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Lavine was considered probable with neck spasms and a knee contusion, so it's not a surprise he remains in the starting five Tuesday. The 24-year-old is averaging 22.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.8 steals in 36.6 minutes over the last five games.

LaVine (neck/knee) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

LaVine is dealing with neck spasms and a knee contusion but is still expected to take the court Tuesday. Across three games this month, the 24-year-old is averaging 24.0 points, 6.0 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 2.3 steals in 34.3 minutes.

LaVine (neck) logged 32 points (11-21 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight assists, three steals, one rebound and one block in 40 minutes during Sunday's 118-111 loss to the 76ers.

LaVine had been listed as questionable after sitting out Saturday's practice with a neck injury. However, he was able to give it a go and finished two dimes shy of a double-double, though he did amass more turnovers (nine) than assists. Assuming LaVine doesn't suffer a setback, Tuesday's contest versus Washington represents a friendly matchup for fantasy purposes.

LaVine (neck) is available to play Sunday against the 76ers, Jamal Collier of the Chicago Tribune reports.

After being forced to sit out Saturday's practice, LaVine's neck injury has turned out to be very minor, as the guard will not be forced to miss any time due to the injury. Expect the 24-year-old to continue filling the role that he has occupied all season, leading the team in scoring, and averaging just under 35 minutes per game.

LaVine was unable to practice Saturday and has been deemed questionable for Sunday's tilt with the 76ers due to a neck injury, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

LaVine was hit in the back of the neck in Friday's matchup with New Orleans, though he finished the game with 22 points in 30 minutes of play. Although the injury's not expected to be anything too concerning, it flared up overnight and kept him from the practice gym Saturday. Look for an official update to come ahead of tipoff clarifying LaVine's availability.

Lavine scored 22 points (8-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), while tacking on three rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block in 30 minutes during the Bulls' 125-119 loss to the Pelicans.

LaVine led the Bulls on a night where seven players all had at least 11 points. LaVine was upset in the closing minutes and had some angry words regarding the team's performance in postgame sessions. Regardless, LaVine is a bonafide stud and showings like Thursday may be closer to his floor than his ceiling.

LaVine scored 20 points (7-23 FG, 1-11 3Pt5-6 FT) while adding nine assists, four rebounds and a steal in 44 minutes during Wednesday's 115-106 overtime loss to the Pacers.

His poor shooting night ultimately cost the Bulls, but LaVine still scored at least 20 points for the 16th straight game. He's averaging 28.9 points, 5.2 boards, 4.1 assists, 3.0 threes and 1.6 steals over that stretch, and he remains the one reliable offensive threat in Chicago's lineup.

LaVine (ankle) is in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Pacers.

The 24-year-old was considered probable while dealing with right ankle soreness and right knee discomfort, but he's starting as expected Wednesday. LaVine is averaging 27.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steal in 35.2 minutes over the last five games.

LaVine is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Pacers due to right ankle soreness and right knee discomfort.

LaVine scored 25 points (7-22 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT) to go along with six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 110-109 win over the Spurs.

LaVine struggled with his shot in this one but that shouldn't be a surprise since he was making just 44.3 percent of his field goals during his previous four games entering this one. The former Timberwolves guard has now scored at least 20 points in 15 straight games, which matches the longest streak of his career.

LaVine had 44 points (16-30 FG, 5-12 3PT, 7-8 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Saturday's 118-106 win at Cleveland.

LaVine came just two dimes short of a triple-double, and he also topped the 40-point mark for the third time this month. He has been one of the league's premier scoring threats during January, and he is averaging 30.0 point per game while shooting 48.4 percent from the field during the first month of 2020.

LaVine had 21 points (8-21 FG, 3-9 3PT, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block in 33 minutes during Friday's 98-81 loss against the Kings.

LaVine finished with 24 points (7-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five boards, one assist and three steals in 36 minutes of a 111-98 loss to the Bucks on Monday.

LaVine continued his scoring outburst, reaching 20 points for the 11th straight game. LaVine has been so hot of late that his 24 points were actually his third worst outing this month. He'll look to stay hot against his former team on Wednesday.

LaVine had 42 points (19-31 FG, 2-6 3PT, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, five steals, three assists and two blocks in 39 minutes during Saturday's 118-116 win over the Cavaliers.

LaVine has scored 20 or more points in 10 straight contests, and he is clearly entrenched as Chicago's main scoring threat while also showing an ability to fill the stat sheet and produce on both ends of the court. LaVine is averaging 30.6 points, 5.1 boards, 4.3 dimes and a combined 2.6 steals/blocks per game during January.

LaVine had 30 points (12-21 FG, 6-11 3PT, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 115-106 win over the Wizards.

LaVine has scored 30 or more points in four of his last five games, but he is also thriving a facilitator since he has dished out six or more assists in three of those outings. He has been hot during the entire month since he is averaging 30.1 points per game during January, and he will try to remain productive Friday at Philadelphia.

LaVine recorded 30 points (9-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 34 minutes in Monday's 113-101 loss versus the Celtics.

LaVine has been on fire as of late. This was his third effort of 30 points or more in his last six starts and the shooting guard is now averaging 27.5 points per game in his past ten. Seeing this type of production in a tough matchup like Boston is very encouraging and LaVine remains a must-start this Friday against a poor Wizards' defense.

LaVine had 43 points (14-23 FG, 8-13 3PT, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 116-105 loss against the Pacers.

LaVine has scored 20 or more points in each of his last five outings, and he is doing it at an efficient rate since he is making 48.7 percent of his shots and 42.2 percent of his three-point attempts during that span. The sixth-year guard is averaging 3.2 three-pointers made per game this season, as he has settled as a bonafide long-range threat this campaign.

He is also shooting a career-best 39.2 percent from three this season.

LaVine (ankle) is starting Monday against Dallas, Mike Peasley of the Dallas Mavericks Radio Network Pregame Show reports.

The Bulls list LaVine (ankle) as probable for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

LaVine was probable heading into Saturday's 111-104 loss to the Celtics with the same injury, but he ultimately suited up and provided 35 points in 38 minutes. He'll likely shed the injury designation in advance of Monday's 8:30 p.m. ET tipoff and handle a normal minutes load.

Look for his status to clear up closer to tip-off.
