Running with first unit

The Bulls guard has no idea what the front office has in store for the Feb. 6 trade deadline, but whether the team stays intact or changes, what Dosunmu would like to see is a return to consistency with the little things.

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

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

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

Returning from 10-game absence

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

Iffy for Sunday

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

Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball could be on the Los Angeles Lakers’ radar as the Feb. 6 trade deadline nears, per The Athletic’s Jovan Buha, who spoke with Jason Timpf of Hoops
