Lonzo Ball

Giddey will miss at least one game after injuring his ankle during Monday's win over the Raptors. While he has progressed in his recovery, the Bulls guard has not resumed running. Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, and Lonzo Ball will all receive boosts to their fantasy values, while Talen Horton-Tucker should play more minutes off the bench.

LaVine sat Monday against Toronto, but he's off the injury report for Thursday's tilt with Boston. LaVine could see an even bigger workload if Giddey is ultimately ruled out. Lonzo Ball and Ayo Dosunmu could log some more minutes off the bench in that scenario.

Giddey didn't return to action after tweaking his ankle against the Raptors and isn't likely to suit up against the Celtics. Zach LaVine's availability will likely determine whether Lonzo Ball or Talen Horton-Tucker step into the starting lineup in his place.

Ball's minutes have increased recently, with the Bulls guard playing 19 minutes or more in three of his last five appearances with a high of 22. Fantasy managers should expect more of the same on Monday. While Josh Giddey's minutes have taken a hit, he and Ball have played well alongside each other when sharing the court.

As expected, Ball will play in this game and will likely see around 15-20 minutes off the bench. He has played well, but his role is too limited for him to be rostered in standard leagues, unless you're looking for a boost in steals.
