Thu Mar 28 | 16:02 | Alex 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. |

Sun Mar 24 | 22:16 | Alex Caruso Probable Monday |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is expected to play against the Wizards on Monday. Although his name has been added to the injury report due to a previous lower leg injury, it is unlikely that he will miss any playing time. The Bulls will likely confirm his availability closer to the start of the game. On Saturday versus the Celtics, the 30-year-old posted 14 points, three rebounds, three assists and one steal in a 124-113 loss. |

Sat Mar 23 | 19:03 | Alex 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 21 | 18:56 | Alex 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 20 | 15:55 | Alex 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 18 | 19:23 | Alex 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. |

Sun Mar 17 | 19:42 | Alex Caruso Questionable Monday Against Portland |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) is questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Caruso has been dealing with left-toe soreness and several minor injuries throughout the season. However, going into Monday, the 30-year-old played in nine consecutive contests. The veteran guard has been an average asset in fantasy play, but he has been hot in the previous three games, averaging 18.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 2.0 steals on 55.3 percent shooting. |

Mon Mar 4 | 20:52 | Alex Caruso Will Play On Monday |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (hamstring) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This is good news after Caruso was listed as questionable ahead of this game. However, Caruso will be able to suit up for the second straight game. He hasn't been a great fantasy asset lately, but his defensive ability does help. Fantasy managers who have Caruso rostered can go ahead and get him in their lineups. |

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. |
