Zach LaVine - Won't play in finaleLaVine (knee) is out Sunday against the Timberwolves.
DeMar DeRozan - Resting for finaleDeRozan will not play in Sunday's game against the Timberwolves due to rest.
ImpactChicago is locked into the No. 6 seed and resting its key players in the regular-season finale. Plenty of bench players should see expanded roles.

Nikola Vucevic - Resting for finaleVucevic will rest for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Timberwolves.
ImpactChicago is locked into the No. 6 seed, so there's no need for Vucevic to risk injury. Notably, DeMar DeRozan (rest) and Zach LaVine (knee) are also out. Tristan Thompson and Tony Bradley should see extra minutes.

Gordon Hayward - Out vs. WizardsHayward (foot) is out Sunday against the Wizards, Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
ImpactFollowing a one-game return from a foot injury, Hayward will end up missing four straight games to end the year. His status for the play-in is clearly in jeopardy.

Alex Caruso - Out at MinnesotaCaruso (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
ImpactCaruso will end up missing the final three games of the regular season. With Coby White (toe) doubtful as well, more minutes should be in store for Ayo Dosunmu and Javonte Green.

Coby White - Doubtful SundayWhite is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves due to a sprained left toe.
ImpactWhite continues to act as a sixth man in the backcourt for Chicago, and he should remain in that role since Lonzo Ball (knee) is done for the year. In White's presumed absence Sunday, more minutes could be in store for Ayo Dosunmu and Javonte Green.
