Mon Dec 12 2022 | 08:04 | DeMar DeRozan Has A Big Night Against Atlanta |
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan almost pulled off a 30-point triple-double against Atlanta on Sunday, racking up 34 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists in a 123-122 overtime loss. It's his ninth 30-point effort of the season and the rebounds mark his new season high. DeRozan made three clutch free throws near the end of overtime, but the Hawks still managed to win the game with an alley-oop layup from AJ Griffin. The veteran scorer went 14-for-15 overall at the foul line and shot 10-for-21 from the field. DeRozan is a very good all-around player who can fill the stat sheet with ease, although he has been lacking a bit defensively as of late, going six games without a single steal. |

Thu Nov 24 2022 | 12:48 | DeMar DeRozan Leads Bulls To Win With 36 Points |
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan continued some of the best play in his career. His stats have taken a big jump since coming to Chicago and Wednesday night was no different. He ended the game against the Milwaukee Bucks with 36 points, four rebounds, eight assists, one steal, and two blocks while shooting 14-for-24 from the floor and 2-for-3 from beyond the arc. Even though he came to Chicago to team up with Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic to make a championship team, he's made this his own team with his elevated play. In the fantasy world, he's been even better. |

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan notched 28 points on 11-for-24 shooting in Monday's 121-107 win over the Celtics. He added eight rebounds and four assists with one steal and two turnovers in 35 minutes. As an added bonus, DeRozan rewarded fantasy managers with three three-pointers. The veteran scorer has found some really good form lately, averaging 32.3 points a night across his last three outings. He will need to continue to perform at a high level, with the Bulls struggling and owning a losing record. The team now starts a six-game road trip Wednesday in Milwaukee and we could see some great lines from him in the next couple of weeks, as DeRozan is averaging 30.9 points per game on the road compared to 20.8 at home. |

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan continued to lead his team in scoring despite losing the game to the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. The 33-year-old veteran registered 20 points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block on 7-for-9 shooting from the floor. While he had a very efficient game, the rest of the team didn't exactly chip in. DeRozan will be a fantasy asset that managers can rely on every night, but he's about the only one on the Bulls. |

Sat Nov 5 2022 | 08:12 | DeMar DeRozan Explodes For 46 Points |
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan was a man on a mission against Boston on Friday and completed a 123-119 loss with a season-high 46 points. The veteran star clearly had something to prove after shooting 18 percent and going for only nine points in his previous appearance. DeRozan shot 13-for-23 from the field and 20-for-22 at the line, while adding three rebounds and five assists to his tally with two steals and one block. He also led the team in playing time with 36 minutes and registered two turnovers. Even at 33, DeRozan remains an elite scorer who can get buckets with ease when he's in a mood. Getting amped up for the next couple of games shouldn't be a problem for him either, as the Bulls get ready to play a home-and-home set versus Toronto. DeRozan has averaged 23.8 points with 6.4 rebounds and 7.0 assists against his former team since leaving the Raptors four years ago. |

Mon Apr 18 2022 | 12:37 | DeMar DeRozan Held In Check By Bucks In Game 1 |
Chicago Bulls power forward DeMar DeRozan was held to just 6-for-25 shooting in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs vs. Milwaukee, despite logging a solid all-around stat line of 18 points, eight rebounds, six assists, and three steals. The shooting percentage (24%) marks the lowest of the year for DeRozan, and his lowest in any outing since Feb. 8, 2018. Amidst a resurgent campaign in which he averaged a career-high 27.9 PPG, DeRozan's off shooting night appears to have largely been an anomaly, despite the Bucks' best defensive efforts. Fantasy managers can anticipate DeRozan's DFS price tag sliding a bit ahead of Game 2 on Wednesday. |

Sat Apr 9 2022 | 16:58 | DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine Will Miss Sunday’s Game |
Chicago Bulls power forward DeMar DeRozan (rest) and shooting guard/small forward Zach LaVine (rest) have been ruled out for Sunday's contest vs. Minnesota. The Bulls will have a distinctly different look Sunday with Nikola Vucevic (rest) and Alex Caruso (back) also sidelined. Ayo Dosunmu stands out as a DFS target due to the missing scoring punch, with Patrick Williams and Derrick Jones Jr. candidates to get sizable run without DeRozan and LaVine. DeRozan finishes the 2021-22 regular season having averaged a career-high 27.9 PPG, while LaVine pitched in 24.4 PPG in his own right. The duo should both be cleared for a full workload in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs next week. |

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan put on another offensive showcase in the team's 135-130 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. He scored a season-high 50 points, just two points shy of his career-high of 52 points, which came back in 2018. DeRozan shot 17-for-26 from the field on Thursday, connecting on both of his attempts from three-point range. He was also 14-for-15 from the free throw strike. In addition to his scoring outburst, he added six assists, five rebounds and one steal while turning the ball over twice. DeRozan is sixth in the NBA in scoring, averaging 28.0 points per game. He's now topped 30 points in three straight outings. He'll look to stay hot in his next trip to the court on Saturday against the Miami Heat. |

DeRozan cooked the LA defense for 35 points on 16 shots in their last matchup on Nov. 14. |

Fri Mar 25 2022 | 17:16 | DeMar DeRozan Expected To Play On Saturday |
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (groin) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The star forward was forced to miss Thursday's contest. His absence gave guys like Javonte Green and Patrick Williams more playing time. Also, Zach LaVine and Coby White were forced to pick up the slack on offense. Luckily, it sounds like it's only going to be a one game absence for DeRozan. Although, fantasy managers should check back on Saturday just in case. |

Thu Mar 24 2022 | 14:40 | DeMar DeRozan Ruled Out For Thursday's Game |
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans due to a left adductor sprain. The injury had been nagging DeRozan earlier this week, but he played through it on Monday and Tuesday. The Bulls may just be aiming to give their star a little rest for this one. Zach LaVine (knee) has an injury of his own, but he's officially set to play in the game and he should carry the team's offense. Meanwhile, players such as Troy Brown Jr., Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu and Alex Caruso could see extra minutes with DeRozan out. |

Wed Mar 23 2022 | 21:37 | DeMar DeRozan Tagged As Questionable For Thursday |
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. DeRozan played in both of the back-to-back contests earlier in the week. That being said, possibly the Bulls decide to take the cautious approach with DeRozan. Zach LaVine (knee) is tagged as probable, so he'll likely have increased usage if DeRozan is out. Also, Coby White and Alex Caruso should have more chances, assuming DeRozan is sidelined. |

Mon Jan 24 2022 | 19:01 | DeMar DeRozan Will Be Held Out Of Monday’s Contest |
Chicago Bulls power forward DeMar DeRozan (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game vs. Oklahoma City due to rest purposes. The team gets the luxury of resting DeRozan with Zach LaVine (knee) and Javonte Green (adductor) returning to action. Without DeRozan in the mix, Troy Brown Jr. and Tyler Cook stand to see elevated roles, although either will be tricky DFS assets, even in a condensed slate. The absence of LaVine has funneled the vast majority of Chicago's offensive duties to DeRozan, who averaged 30.6 PPG in his absence; while he may not have the same upside upon his return Wednesday against the Raptors, he has shot a career-best 50.5 percent against his former franchise (including a stunning 55.6% from behind the arc). |

The Bulls have heated up again with six straight wins and DeRozan has been their leading scorer in four of the victories. He'll look to keep it up on Saturday against Washington. |

The veteran played like he hasn't missed time at all and he should be raring to go again on Monday versus Houston. DeRozan had one of his worst performances of the season against the Rockets last month, so he should be playing with a chip on his shoulder. |

While the playmaking duties have been shared, thus limiting upside in the assists category, the pair offer elite percentages as a result of one another setting up easy buckets. |
