Sun Mar 3 | 17:45 | Alex Caruso Uncertain For Monday |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This is concerning as the Bulls are already thin at the guard spot right now. The absence of Caruso would mean players such as Dalen Terry and Onuralp Bitim would see increased run. Andre Drummond registered 17 points and 26 rebounds when starting for Caruso on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should consider Drummond a strong streaming option with the Bulls banged up. |

Fri Mar 1 | 21:22 | Alex Caruso Available Versus The Bucks |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (knee) will play on Friday against the Bucks. He was listed as questionable heading into the Central Division clash because of a hamstring strain. However, the 30-year-old is good to go. Caruso averaged eight points in February, down from January. However, he made up for it by getting more active on the glass and as a distributor. Of course, his defensive prowess is always appreciated by category managers. At any rate, Caruso can be utilized in all fantasy setups. But he's not always a consistent performer. |

Fri Mar 1 | 12:09 | Alex Caruso Iffy Against Bucks On Friday |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (hamstring) has been tagged as questionable for the late-night game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. The do-it-all wing is dealing with a right hamstring strain which can be one of the trickier injuries. He was unable to suit up in their last game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, and they'll likely have him test out the hamstring during shootaround to see if it can heal in time. Caruso has always been a player who does a lot of things well but won't win a fantasy matchup by himself. So, if fantasy managers are looking for some options just in case he doesn't play, Ayo Dosunmu should see plenty of opportunities while Jevon Carter and Onuralp Bitim will see minutes off of the bench. |

Wed Feb 28 | 18:35 | Alex Caruso Downgraded To Out |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (hamstring) has been downgraded to out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. As expected, Caruso will sit out after suffering a right hamstring strain during Tuesday's game. The assumption is that Andre Drummond will get the starting nod in place of Caruso. He could be worth a look as a streaming option given his above average rebounding ability. Jevon Carter and Dalen Terry should see bigger roles off the bench as well. |

Wed Feb 28 | 17:14 | Alex Caruso Questionable For Wednesday's Tilt |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Cleveland. He hurt his right hamstring in Tuesday's 105-95 loss to Detroit and might have to give it rest to get back to 100 percent. Caruso's absence would open up a spot in the starting unit, with Dalen Terry and Jevon Carter the likeliest candidates to step into the role. A boost in playing time would lift the fantasy value for both, although the two haven't previously proven to be productive players. |

Wed Feb 14 | 09:04 | Alex Caruso Questionable Wednesday |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Cleveland. He could be forced to sit out a second consecutive contest with a toe contusion. Torrey Craig took over from Caruso in the starting unit on Monday versus Atlanta, with Jevon Carter and Dalen Terry getting extended minutes off the bench. His absence also benefited Ayo Dosunmu, who went off for a career-high 29 points on Monday. Wednesday's outing promises to be a much tougher one for the Bulls as they face a top-tier defensive team that has been crushing it since the turn of the year. |

Sun Feb 11 | 23:27 | Alex Caruso Tagged As Questionable For Monday |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) has been listed as questionable again for their Monday night matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. He's still dealing with a toe contusion that hasn't bothered him enough to miss any games lately. He even played 36 minutes in their last game on Saturday and posted nine points, eight rebounds, one assist, one steal, and four blocks. Caruso has been great in deeper fantasy leagues since he usually posts an array of both offensive and defensive stats, but isn't elite at any single category. If he's unable to suit up in this one, Torrey Craig (toe) would likely move into the starting lineup and Dalen Terry would receive some extra minutes off of the bench. |

Tue Feb 6 | 18:46 | Alex Caruso Available On Tuesday |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (groin) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Caruso has been cleared to play and should resume his normal role in the starting five. He hasn't been great on offense but is solid when it comes to defensive production. Fantasy managers should double-check their lineups to ensure they don't have Caruso on the bench. |

Sun Feb 4 | 13:37 | Teams Calling On Alex Caruso |
According to K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago, teams have reached out to the Bulls regarding the availability of guard Alex Caruso. The 29-year-old has played well this season, averaging a career-high 10.0 points with 3.6 boards, 2.8 assists, and 1.3 steals. He's also logged 26.7 minutes, the second-highest mark of his career. With Zach LaVine (foot) set for season-ending surgery, Caruso could see more minutes alongside Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu. However, regardless of where the former Laker ends up after the trade deadline, he's expected to remain a capable fantasy producer, especially on the defensive end. Unfortunately, he's had issues staying healthy throughout his career, and that's not expected to change anytime soon. |

Wed Jan 10 | 15:54 | Alex Caruso, Patrick Williams Available Wednesday |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (neck) and forward Patrick Williams (ankle) are both available for Wednesday's game versus the Houston Rockets. The Bulls' role players should both be good for their usual workloads, considering this matchup is neither the first nor second leg of a back-to-back, but they are trending down with Zach LaVine (foot) and Nikola Vucevic back in the fold. This contest also features the lowest implied point total (216.5) on Wednesday's 10-game slate by a wide margin, so this is probably not the right environment to dig into the bargain bin on either side for DFS purposes. Without a true point guard running the show amid Lonzo Ball's (knee) absence in the Windy City, Chicago's slow-paced offense sees them sit last in the Association in possessions per game (98.2). |

Mon Jan 8 | 09:29 | Alex Caruso Considered Questionable Monday |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (neck) has been tagged questionable for Monday's matchup versus Charlotte. He's nursing a cervical strain and couldn't play against the Hornets on Friday. However, Caruso practiced on Sunday, and it looks like he could be back in the lineup after missing only one game. The versatile guard has had a great year in Chicago, averaging 10.0 points with 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.3 steals. He'll likely jump back into the starting unit if he's ready to return, bumping Ayo Dosunmu back to the bench. |

Tue Dec 19 2023 | 21:45 | Alex Caruso Probable For Wednesday |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is currently listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Caruso continues to deal with a lingering left ankle sprain. Ayo Dosunmu started during Monday's game despite Caruso being active. However, Caruso still played starter minutes, but came off the bench. If healthy, Caruso should continue seeing big minutes in the rotation. Otherwise, Dosunmu would likely see an extended look if Caruso sits out on Wednesday. |

Mon Dec 18 2023 | 18:51 | Alex Caruso Will Suit Up Against 76ers |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) has been upgraded on the injury report and will take the floor against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. Since he's been out, Ayo Dosunmu took over in the starting lineup and he was seeing some heavy minutes in the process. Now that Caruso is back, however, Dosunmu will likely head back to the bench and see a huge cut in his minutes. Caruso should be valuable enough to play in most fantasy leagues while Dosunmu gets downgraded to the deeper leagues. |

Mon Dec 18 2023 | 16:10 | Alex Caruso Trending Positively Monday |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle), who is questionable on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers, was at morning shootaround. Caruso tends to play with reckless abandon, and he just hasn't been able to consistently stay on the floor this season. The disruptive defender exited last Thursday's game against the Miami Heat after five minutes of play with a sprained left ankle following a two-game absence, later missing Saturday's rematch with the Heat with the injury altogether. Caruso, averaging 9.3 points, 1.6 threes, and 2.0 combined steals and blocks this year, hasn't benefitted from Zach LaVine's (foot) extended absence very much. Coby White has pulled away when it comes to dominating minutes at the point in the Windy City without Lonzo Ball (knee), while Ayo Dosunmu and Jevon Carter would soak up more run if Caruso can't play on Monday, |

Mon Dec 18 2023 | 09:21 | Alex Caruso Collects Another Questionable Tag Monday |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against Philadelphia. He's played only five minutes across the last four games and is trying to return from a left ankle sprain. Assuming he's out again, Ayo Dosunmu should have another busy night as a starter. He logged 41 minutes last timeout against Miami, although Dosunmu continues to be relatively unproductive during his time on the court and recorded only eight points on Saturday. |

Sat Dec 16 2023 | 09:11 | Alex Caruso Questionable Saturday |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is considered questionable for Saturday's matchup against Miami. He aggravated an ankle issue a few days ago against the Heat, playing only five minutes. Now, Caruso could be out of action entirely for a third time in four games. Ayo Dosunmu has been his replacement in the starting unit during Caruso's health issues. He tends to be an unproductive player in fantasy hoops, but Dosunmu enjoyed Thursday's outing against the Heat with a season-high 24 points, six rebounds, and five assists. |

Thu Dec 14 2023 | 20:27 | Alex Caruso Uncertain To Return |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is uncertain to return to Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. Caruso had missed the last two games prior to Thursday's game with a left ankle sprain. It appears Caruso re-aggravated his ankle less than five minutes into Thursday's contest. The Bulls are unlikely to push anything and will probably let Caruso sit out the rest of the game. Ayo Dosunmu should see extended run going forward if Caruso is forced to miss more time. |

Thu Dec 14 2023 | 09:36 | Alex Caruso Questionable Thursday |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is regarded as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Miami. He's in danger of missing a third straight contest with a left ankle sprain. Ayo Dosunmu has moved to the starting five as Caruso's replacement and should continue to play a larger role on Thursday night if he can't return. However, Dosunmu has offered very little fantasy-wise despite the extended minutes, and managers should look elsewhere. |

Sun Dec 10 2023 | 23:01 | Alex Caruso Considered Questionable Versus Bucks |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) has been tagged as questionable against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. He was unable to finish their last game on Friday against the Spurs after he sprained his left ankle. Caruso only played 18 minutes that night and it seems like it hasn't had time to fully heal just yet. Fantasy managers counting on Caruso will likely have to wait closer to game-time as they'll probably have him test it out in shootaround. If he's unable to suit up, Ayo Dosunmu and Torrey Craig will be the ones to see added time with one of them moving into the starting five. |

Sat Dec 9 2023 | 06:48 | Alex Caruso Fails To Complete Friday's Game |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso sprained his left ankle against the Spurs on Friday and couldn't complete the game. He had four points in 18 minutes with three rebounds, two assists, and one steal. It was a typical Caruso performance, but unfortunately, the hard-working guard picked up a new injury after already carrying a left toe problem. Ayo Dosunmu got close to a 30-minute shift without Caruso on Friday and will be a natural replacement for him in the starting five if Caruso can't play on Monday versus Milwaukee. However, Dosunmu generally can't match Caruso's effectiveness and numbers. |
