Impact Zach LaVine is getting the night off due to an illness. Dosunmu will be starting alongside Coby White, and both of these players have turned some heads in the preseason with their strong play.

Gets starting nod Dosunmu will start Thursday's preseason game against Minnesota.
Coming off bench Dosunmu will come off the bench for Tuesday's preseason game against the Raptors.
Impact Coby White will draw the start at point guard Tuesday evening. While Dosunmu has played well during the preseason, White seems to be gaining steam as a candidate to start on Opening Night. Meanwhile, Alex Caruso is dealing with an ankle issue that will prevent him from playing Tuesday.

Goes for 12 points Sunday Dosunmu ended with 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and seven assists across 31 minutes in Sunday's 116-102 preseason loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Dosunmu is competing with Coby White to open the season as the starting point guard, but he seems to be losing ground against the former UNC star. Dosumnu logged more than 25 minutes for the first time in the current preseason run in this one, but he's not expected to have that kind of usage once the regular season rolls around, and all signs point to him having to settle with a role on the bench.

Fails to benefit sans Caruso Dosunmu generated four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 20 minutes in Monday's 109-105 double-overtime win over the 76ers.
Impact Even with Alex Caruso (foot) sitting out Monday, head coach Billy Donovan opted not to give Dosunmu a look in the starting lineup alongside Patrick Beverley. Patrick Williams moved up to the top unit instead, while Dosunmu didn't receive any notable bump in playing time while continuing to come off the bench. Dosunmu is averaging 5.2 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.3 three-pointers and 0.3 blocks in 19.2 minutes in 12 outings since the All-Star break, numbers that keep him irrelevant in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Gets starting nod Dosunmu is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus Sacramento.
Impact Dosunmu will replace Alex Caruso (illness) in the starting lineup Wednesday. Dosunmu is averaging 9.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 29.6 minutes across his 49 games starting this season.
MARCH 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Limited playing time again Friday Dosunmu contributed eight points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals in 18 minutes during Friday's 125-104 loss to Phoenix.
Impact Dosunmu continues to play limited minutes off the bench, a far cry from his starting role to open the season. At this point, Patrick Beverley, Alex Caruso and Coby White are all ahead of him in the rotation. While he was moderately productive in this one, unless he is playing upwards of 30 minutes per night, there is no need to consider him outside of deeper formats.
MARCH 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Fares well in new role Dosunmu posted seven points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Friday's 131-87 victory over the Nets.
Impact Dosunmu moved to the bench in favor of Patrick Beverley on Friday, and he was surprisingly the second guard off the bench behind Coby White. Dosunmu ended up playing more minutes than both those guys, although the lopsided score certainly was a factor. No matter how you slice it, the arrival of Beverley will eat into Dosunmu's workload and fantasy value a good bit.

Heads to bench Dosunmu will move to the bench Friday against the Nets.
Impact The addition of Patrick Beverley was always going to squeeze Dosunmu's workload, but it will be interesting to see how this new-look rotation unfolds. It's possible that Dosunmu still has a big role while someone like Coby White loses a larger chunk of value.

Does little in 36 minutes Dosunmu supplied seven points (3-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 36 minutes during Thursday's 112-100 loss to the Bucks.
Impact Dosunmu continues to disappoint on a nightly basis, delivering another underwhelming performance despite playing 36 minutes. The Bulls are a mess right now, highlighted by the fact they continue to start Dosunmu. This speaks to the lack of viable guard options in Chicago, which could cause the team to continue to struggle down the stretch. Dosunmu can be rostered in deeper formats simply due to the fact he will see heavy minutes on a nightly basis. Those in standard leagues would be better off either streaming or grabbing a player with more upside.

Rough night Monday Dosunmu had two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 100-91 loss to Orlando.
Impact Dosunmu continues to log heavy minutes for the Bulls, yet he finds himself well outside the top 150 over the past month. At this point, there is basically no upside when it comes to his fantasy game, outside of decent percentages. However, the fact he takes barely any shots almost negates that fact, making him a viable asset in deeper formats only.
FEBRUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Scores 14 on 14 shots Dosunmu totaled 14 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, four rebounds and two blocks in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 104-89 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Dosunmu reached double figures in the scoring column for the fifth game in a row, but he took a slight step back in terms of efficiency, which was to be expected after he converted at an unsustainable 71 percent clip from the field over the prior four contests. Perhaps more significant than the elevated scoring production of late is the fact that Dosunmu has averaged 30.8 minutes during the last five games, though the Bulls were missing top backup Alex Caruso for two of those contests, and DeMar DeRozan (hip) sat out Tuesday.
FEBRUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Efficient in win over Hornets Dosunmu ended with 22 points (9-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 114-98 win over Charlotte.
Impact The second-year guard had one of the most efficient performances of his career Thursday, missing just one shot from the field en route to tying his best scoring output of the campaign. He didn't provide significant contributions in other categories, but the 22-point performance was enough to make him a huge piece in this win. Dosunmu has now scored in double figures in five of his last eight outings.
