The Bulls are without Patrick Williams, who will not play due to a sore foot that could keep him sidelined for multiple games. As a result, Craig will make his first start of the season, but Ayo Dosunmu is a superior streaming option in this spot. The other four starters are unchanged.
Vucevic has gotten off to an incredibly strong start to the season and currently ranks as a first-round value in 9-cat leagues.This can be directly attributed to one of the best shooting stretches of his career. Vucevic has shot 59.4% from the floor so far this season and 84.8% from the line, both of which would be career-highs. He has been better this season than he was during any of the years that DeMar DeRozan spent with the Bulls, though a shooting regression could certainly be on the way soon, since he has hit 48.4% of his 3-pointers to this point.
Vucevic was two rebounds shy of a double-double, but had a big scoring night with 25 points. Despite the 18-point loss, he still saw 33 minutes in the contest as he continues to provide great fantasy value this year. The Bulls have one more game this week against the Rockets on Sunday.
As long as Nikola Vucevic and Jalen Smith are healthy and available, Sanogo will not be in the Bulls' rotation. Leave him on the waiver wire.
Vucevic is up to five double-doubles in seven games in November, and he's maintaining top 10 per-game value in 9-cat formats. The consistency has been vital for the veteran pivot, who remains a key figure within the Bulls rotation. While some fantasy managers may be tempted to sell high, Vooch should be no worse than a top-50 player at the season's end. It would be best to hold onto him.
