Ayo Dosunmu - Turns in another hot shooting gameDosunmu produced 24 points (10-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt), eight assists, five rebounds and a block Monday in the Bulls' 111-110 win over the Thunder.ImpactChicago welcomed back two starters (Zach LaVine and Javonte Green) from multi-game absences due to injury while another rested (DeMar DeRozan), but Dosunmu was able to stick on the top unit over Coby White, who served as the sixth man. Troy Brown will presumably move back to the bench when DeRozan returns to action Wednesday versus Toronto, but Dosunmu made a strong case to remain with the starters ahead of White on the strength of another red-hot shooting performance. While starting the past six contests, Dosunmu has turned in excellent averages of 15.0 points, 6.3 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 2.0 triples, 1.2 steals and 0.7 blocks in 38.5 minutes per game. However, the scoring and three-point production, in particular, doesn't look sustainable, given that it's come on the back of 62.7 percent shooting from the field and 54.5 percent shooting from distance. Dosunmu wasn't regarded as an elite shooter coming out of college -- which is reflected in his poor 60.5 percent rate from the free-throw line on the season -- so fantasy managers who have been riding the wave of his big numbers should expect a downturn sooner rather than later.
