Fri Apr 1918:12Alex Caruso Cleared For Friday Night
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) will suit up for Friday's Play-In game versus the Heat. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Caruso suffered a "significant ankle injury" during Wednesday's win over the Atlanta Hawks and wasn't expected to play. Luckily, his symptoms mostly resolved, opening the door for his availability for the pivotal contest. As always, the 30-year-old should remain a vital piece of the Bulls' rotation. However, Caruso's presence will likely result in fewer minutes for Javonte Green, who surged toward the end of the regular season.

Fri Apr 1915:39Alex Caruso Expects To Play Against Heat
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is formally listed as questionable for the final Eastern play-in game against the Miami Heat after suffering an ankle injury in their previous game against Atlanta. Caruso said on Friday morning that he expects to play after the swelling went down drastically on Thursday. Caruso plays a big role, especially for the team's defense, and can be a key piece to a win over a Jimmy Butler-less Heat. Caruso has some value in DFS lineups as well due to his defensive abilities and can deliver a scoring punch against a team that's missing one of their best defenders.

Thu Apr 1819:47Alex Caruso Questionable For Friday Night
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is questionable for Friday's Play-In battle with the Miami Heat. The 30-year-old suffered a "significant" left ankle sprain in Wednesday's win over the Atlanta Hawks, with ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reporting that his status versus the Heat is in doubt. Caruso plays a pivotal role in Chicago's rotation, averaging 10.1 points and 1.7 steals during the regular season. Fortunately, it appears he's doing a little better than he was. But Caruso will have some hurdles to clear before he gets the green light to suit up. However, if he's not on the floor, Javonte Green will immediately see a substantial increase in fantasy potential.

Thu Apr 1809:20Alex Caruso Doubtful For Friday With "Significant" Ankle Sprain
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso suffered a "significant" left ankle sprain in Wednesday's play-in contest against Atlanta and is doubtful to play on Friday versus Miami. Caruso suffered the injury in the first quarter on Wednesday when he collided with teammate Andre Drummond. Following a visit to the locker room, Caruso was able to return to the court, but he didn't see any action since the 9:43 mark in the third quarter. The injury will likely bring Javonte Green into the starting unit on Friday. He was a late addition to the Bulls squad during the regular season but had a productive time with the team. In five starts, Green notched 14.0 points and 8.6 rebounds with 1.2 steals in 29.2 minutes.

Thu Apr 1118:17Alex Caruso Ready To Face Detroit
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) has received the all-clear for Thursday's matchup against Detroit. The team has upgraded him from probable to available. Caruso has slowed down offensively as of late, averaging only 8.0 points in April, but he typically fills up the box score in all areas and shouldn't have any trouble producing fantasy value on a night where his squad faces the NBA's worst team. He could even get some extra action due to Ayo Dosunmu's (quadriceps) absence.

Thu Apr 1107:36Alex Caruso Likely To Play On Thursday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is probable for Thursday's game against Detroit. Chicago's jack of all trades recently missed a game due to an ankle contusion but is expected to be in the lineup as the Bulls begin a back-to-back against the Pistons. Caruso logged 37 minutes against the Knicks on Tuesday when he returned to the lineup, so his injury doesn't appear to be serious, and fantasy managers can count on him to produce his usual numbers. The 30-year-old has tallied 10.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists,1.0 blocks, and 1.6 steals across the campaign.

Tue Apr 918:50Alex Caruso Available Tuesday Versus Knicks
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Knicks after missing one game due to a left ankle bruise. Caruso last saw action against New York on April 5th and registered seven points, one rebound and four assists in 32 minutes. Point guard Ayo Dosunmu was ruled out for the contest (quadriceps), but guard Coby White (ankle) is suiting up. The Bull's backcourt was in a bit of disarray for a moment, but it should be stabilized with Caruso and White back.

Mon Apr 119:03Alex Caruso Ready To Face Hawks
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) will make a 17th consecutive appearance on Monday against Atlanta. The team has upgraded him from probable to available. Caruso has started all but one of the last 16 games and will enter Monday's matchup following an impressive 21-point effort against Minnesota. He's well-positioned to produce another good offensive display on Monday, as only three teams in the NBA have a poorer defensive rating than the Hawks.

Mon Apr 115:01Ayo Dosunmu, Alex Caruso Probable Monday
Chicago Bulls guards Ayo Dosunmu (illness) and Alex Caruso (ankle) are probable for Monday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. Monday is the second half of Chicago's back-to-back after they topped the Minnesota Timberwolves 109-101 on Sunday, but their starting backcourt is likely to be available in a soft draw against a Hawks bunch that ranks 27th in defensive efficiency (116.7). Dosunmu, managing an upper respiratory illness, has kicked things into a higher gear during the fantasy playoffs, averaging 20.5 points, 5.1 assists, 1.1 steals, and 2.1 threes on 47.2% shooting from long range through his last eight games and represents a must-start. Caruso, nursing a nagging left ankle sprain, has been a nine-category stud all year long, most recently averaging 13.8 points, 5.1 boards, 4.5 dimes, 2.1 steals, and 3.2 triples on 55.2% shooting from deep over his past 10 appearances (nine starts).

The 30-year-old has also registered double-scoring figures in six out of his last seven outings. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Caruso, as he could be helpful in fantasy play for the remainder of the regular season.

Thu Mar 2816:02Alex Caruso, Ayo Dosunmu Probable Friday
Chicago Bulls guards Alex Caruso (ankle) and Ayo Dosunmu (illness) are probable for Friday's tilt against the Brooklyn Nets. Caruso continues to deal with a sprained left ankle, and Dosunmu is managing an upper respiratory illness, but they are likely to suit up for the Bulls on Friday. Both guards are offering top-50 value in nine-category leagues over the past two weeks of action, with Caruso notching double scoring figures as well as multiple triples and steals in six of his past seven showings and Dosunmu averaging 22.3 points, 5.3 assists, 1.2 swipes, and 2.7 triples across his last six games. They will both be worth deploying against a Nets squad permitting the most three-pointers (3.6) to opposing point guards this season.

Sat Mar 2319:03Alex Caruso Officially In On Saturday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) will make a 12th consecutive appearance on Saturday against the Rockets, as the team has upgraded him from probable to available. Caruso's role on offense has taken a hit with Coby White's return, but he's on a nice four-game run with multiple steals and continues to provide value for fantasy managers in multiple areas. The 30-year-old has averaged 10.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 2.3 steals this month.

Thu Mar 2118:56Alex Caruso To Play On Thursday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. There was some concern that Caruso would miss this game as he continues to deal with a left ankle sprain. Despite that, both Caruso and Coby White (hip) are in action ahead of Thursday's contest. As a result, Torrey Craig will head to the second unit where he won't have as much streaming appeal. Fantasy managers can get White and Caruso back in their lineups for Thursday.

Wed Mar 2015:55Alex Caruso Questionable Against Rockets
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) didn't practice on Wednesday, per head coach Billy Donovan. Donovan also said Caruso is feeling better, however, and that it was precautionary move. Experiencing soreness in his left ankle following Monday's narrow victory over the visiting Portland Trail Blazers, Caruso's status remains uncertain for Thursday's tilt versus the Houston Rockets. It sounds like he's dealing with a minor issue, but the Bulls have officially listed him as questionable on their injury report. The 30-year-old disruptive defender has been a nine-category gem this season, attaining top-50 numbers in those formats covering his last 13 games via averages of 10.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.5 steals, and 2.0 three-pointers. Houston is yielding the ninth-fewest fantasy points to opposing shooting guards this season, though.

Mon Mar 1819:23Alex Caruso Ready To Roll Monday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) will remain in the lineup on Monday versus Portland despite being initially regarded as questionable for the game. The team has upgraded Caruso to available, with the fan favorite set to play in a 10th consecutive game. Caruso has played a significantly larger part in the attack lately due to Coby White's (hip) absence. He's always good for peripheral stats but has also now upped his scoring production to 18.7 points across the past three games. A meeting with a team that's ranked 22nd in defensive efficiency puts Caruso in a good position to cook up something good again for fantasy managers.

Fantasy managers who have Caruso rostered can go ahead and get him in their lineups.

Sun Mar 317:45Alex 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.
