Javonte Green - Inks 10-day dealGreen agreed to a 10-day contract with the Bulls on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

ImpactGreen will get a chance to prove he belongs at the NBA level following Friday's transaction. He's appeared in 10 games for the Santa Cruz Warriors this season and averaged 12.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 22.2 minutes per contest.

Alex Caruso - Probable for SaturdayCaruso (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against Boston.

ImpactCaruso tweaked his ankle Monday, but he suited up for Thursday's game against the Rockets and will likely be able to play once again Saturday. He's scored in double figures in four of his last five appearances, averaging 14.6 points, 5.2 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.2 steals in 34.6 minutes per game.

Coby White - Listed probable for SaturdayWhite (hip) is probable for Saturday's game against the Celtics.

ImpactWhite returned from a three-game absence due to a right hip strain Thursday and posted 13 points (5-13 FG) in 29 minutes during a loss to Houston. He's emerged from the game without suffering a setback and should be good to go Saturday, but the Bulls may continue to be cautious with the breakout point guard, who's averaging career highs in points (19.4), assists (5.2), rebounds (4.7) and made threes (2.8) per game.

Jock Landale - Thriives off bench ThursdayLandale closed with 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-5 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 27 minutes during Thursday's 127-117 victory over the Bulls.

ImpactLandale made the most of his minutes off the bench, and aside from outplaying Jabari Smith at the center position, he also showed an efficient touch on offense en route to a double-double. There's a strong chance this might have been a one-off performance for Landale, but he could be in line to see an uptick in minutes in recent games since Alperen Sengun (ankle) is not expected to return until the final days of the regular season.

Jalen Green - Goes for 26 points ThursdayGreen contributed 26 points (10-22 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes during Thursday's 127-117 victory over the Bulls.

ImpactGreen continues to play at a high level for the Rockets, and while he's never going to be an efficient scorer, there's no question he's taken steps in the right direction in that regard lately. Green is arguably going through his most productive stretch of the season, averaging 32.8 points per game and shooting 53.5 percent from the field across his last four appearances.

MARCH 22•ROTOWIRE

Nikola Vucevic - Records another double-doubleVucevic accumulated 16 points (7-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and one block across 39 minutes during Thursday's 127-117 loss to the Rockets.

ImpactVucevic has been on an absolute tear during the current month, as he's enjoying a more prominent role on offense, and his numbers have backed that up. Aside from averaging 19.6 points per game in 11 March outings, he's also recorded seven double-doubles in that span while shooting 50.3 percent from the field. Vucevic should be considered Chicago's second-best option on offense behind DeMar DeRozan during the final weeks of the regular season.

MARCH 22•ROTOWIRE

Ayo Dosunmu - Scores career-high mark ThursdayDosunmu had 35 points (13-18 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and three steals in 39 minutes during Thursday's 127-117 loss to the Rockets.

ImpactDosunmu has been thriving since moving to a permanent starting role with the Bulls, and aside from notching a career-high mark in scoring, he also reached the 20-point mark for the fourth time across his last five appearances. Dosunmu should continue to play a secondary role in the Bulls' offensive scheme, but there's no question his fantasy value will remain on the rise if he keeps taking advantage of the opportunities as he's done it lately.
