Hayes (toe) is available for Thursday's game against the Magic.

After missing Tuesday's loss in Charlotte, Hayes is ready to return from left toe inflammation Thursday. His return likely means fewer minutes for Devin Carter at point guard. Hayes has averaged 7.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 21.7 minutes per game over his last seven contests.

Achiuwa (back) is good to go for Thursday's game against the Magic.

Achiuwa is all set to return from a one-game absence, and fantasy managers will want to pencil him into lineups. Over his last five games, he's averaging 16.2 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 32.4 minutes per contest.

Green (ankle) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

The veteran guard is likely to be available for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Over his last six contests, Green has averaged 5.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 12.5 minutes per game but could see an uptick in playing time if Tobias Harris (hip) sits out Thursday.

Sasser (hip) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

Sasser is trending towards a return after spending three straight games on the shelf. He may see a modest workload behind Daniss Jenkins if he gets the green light to suit up.

Harris (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

The veteran forward is in danger of sitting out the second end of this back-to-back set. If Harris winds up not playing, extra minutes would be freed up for Ronald Holland and Kevin Huerter on the wing Thursday.

Robinson (wrist) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

This probable designation is for injury management, and Robinson is one of several Pistons to be labeled this way. For now, the assumption is that he will be fine to play for the second leg of this back-to-back set.

Thompson (ankle) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

Thompson is probable for ankle injury management, so this is not something his fantasy managers need to be overly concerned with. Thompson finished Wednesday's 130-129 overtime loss to the Hawks with 18 points (9-11 FG), four rebounds, five assists, one block and four steals in 37 minutes.

LeVert (knee) is out for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

The veteran swingman is sitting out the second half of this back-to-back set. More playing time will be available to Kevin Huerter, Daniss Jenkins and Ronald Holland on Thursday.

Duren (knee) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

Duren will be probable for the second game in a row to close out this back-to-back set. During Wednesday's overtime loss to Atlanta, the big man had 26 points (9-15 FG, 8-9 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 42 minutes.

Ivey (knee) will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.

With Ivey still managing pain in his left knee and the Bulls out of the playoff picture, the team will shut down the guard early. Since joining the Bulls from the Pistons, Ivey appeared in four games with averages of 11.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 28.8 minutes.
