Dalen Terry - Season-high six pointsTerry accumulated six points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal in 17 minutes during Saturday's 109-95 loss to Cleveland.
ImpactTerry knocked down multiple shots for the first time across 15 appearances this season. The second-year player's inability to carve out a meaningful role does not bode well for his future outlook, although learning on-the-fly is not conducive to the Bulls' desire to continue competing as well.

DeMar DeRozan - Scores team-high 21DeRozan supplied 21 points (6-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and three steals over 40 minutes during Saturday's 109-95 loss to the Cavaliers.
ImpactIn what was an embarrassing loss to a shorthanded Cleveland squad, DeRozan did his share with on-brand scoring and two-way play. He also led Chicago in assists while only posting two turnovers. The 34-year-old is seeing as many minutes as he can handle, averaging 38.8 over his last 11 games.

ImpactVucevic has notched at least 15 points or double-digit rebounds in 10 straight games, averaging 18.9 points and 11.2 boards over that span. A 45.0/34.0/95.0 percent shooting slash is underwhelming efficiency for a big, however, especially in the context of averaging just 1.8 free-throw attempts per game this season.

Craig Porter Jr. - Stellar play continuesPorter closed Saturday's 109-95 victory over Chicago with 19 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-5 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes. He also ha...
ImpactPorter's triple-threat skills, two-way play, and overall poise have been eye-catching. Averaging 16.1 points, 7.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 blocks per-36 minutes, Porter is the only undrafted rookie in NBA history to hit those thresholds, doing so by a wide margin as well. He's earned a key rotation role for Cleveland.
