ImpactIt's unclear whether Wiseman is dealing with a finger or toe injury, but he'll likely be able to suit up against Oklahoma City. However, his status shouldn't impact the Pistons' rotation.

Zach LaVine - Probable for MondayLaVine (back) is probable for Monday's game against Indiana, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ImpactLaVine carried a probable designation into his 51-point explosion Saturday versus the Pistons, so his presence on the injury report isn't a new development. Although carrying the Bulls' offense may have been taxing, no setback was reported following Saturday's loss.

Ausar Thompson - Impressive all-around effortThompson totaled nine points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 118-102 victory over Chicago.
ImpactThompson has struggled with his shot at times and has gone a combined 6-for-23 over his first three regular-season appearances, but the rookie has made his presence felt on the glass with 31 total rebounds in that span. Thompson must develop confidence with his shot, though that should happen as the season progresses. If fantasy owners are patient, the benefits could be rewarding due to the early signs he's showing as a potential all-around contributor.

Cade Cunningham - Shines against ChicagoCunningham contributed 25 points (9-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds and 10 assists over 40 minutes during Saturday's 118-102 victory over Chicago.
ImpactCunningham had to wait until the final stages of the game to secure the double-double after setting up a Killian Hayes three-pointer, and it was the first time he recorded 10 dimes this season. The electric point guard has scored at least 25 points in two of his three outings while averaging a solid 8.3 dimes per contest to start the campaign, and he is looking as good as advertised after he missed most of the 2022-23 season with a left tibial stress fracture.

Jalen Duren - Monster performance SaturdayDuren ended Saturday's 118-102 victory over Chicago with 23 points (9-11 FG, 5-5 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 33 minutes.
ImpactThe 19-year-old center looks poised to turn a corner this season, and while the season is just three games old, there's no question Duren is showing encouraging signs early on. Duren has three double-doubles in his first three games, grabbing at least 14 rebounds in every game, and he also has multiple blocks in each of those contests. He's averaging 18.0 points, 15.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.7 blocks per game while shooting 80 percent from the field. Those numbers are probably not sustainable over a long-term scenario, but the improvements are real.

Nikola Vucevic - Limited impact SaturdayVucevic recorded 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes during Saturday's 118-102 loss to the Pistons.
ImpactVucevic is firmly entrenched as the Bulls' third-best scoring option behind Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan. Still, it's fair to say his contributions have fallen short of expectations in the first three games of the season. He's yet to score more than 12 points in a game and is shooting a meager 41.2 percent from the field, a low figure for a big man. Vucevic needs to be better to remain relevant in fantasy, but the Bulls need him to play better as well amid a slow start to the campaign.
