Richard notched 15 points (3-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.

The Warriors were short on healthy bodies Wednesday, allowing Richard to handle a featured role. He's competing mainly with Gary Payton and Brandon Williams for an Opening Night role off the bench.

Brown (back) is out for Thursday's preseason game against the Hawks, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Brown is dealing with some tightness, so this sounds like a precaution. The No. 44 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft is not expected to crack the rotation on Opening Night.

Swain produced 10 points (3-3 FG, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals over 22 minutes in Wednesday's 124-117 preseason win over the Suns.

The rookie first-rounder impressed in the preseason opener, leading the second unit in dimes. Swain appears likely to have an Opening Night role off the bench, but his fantasy value should be limited while the Bulls are healthy.

Miller finished with 14 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 124-117 preseason win over Phoenix.

Miller delivered an efficient offensive performance off the bench while adding two steals and committing no turnovers. The 22-year-old forward will look to build on the encouraging showing as he competes for minutes in Chicago's frontcourt, although his regular-season role remains uncertain.

Powell recorded 14 points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one assist and one steal in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 124-117 preseason victory over Phoenix.

Powell made an immediate impact in his first preseason appearance with Chicago, connecting on three triples while requiring just four field-goal attempts. The veteran wing appears poised to provide the Bulls with an established perimeter scoring threat alongside Josh Giddey, though his offensive role will become clearer as the preseason progresses.

Giddey finished with seven points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one block in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 124-117 preseason win over Phoenix.

Giddey struggled with his shot but remained effective as a facilitator, leading Chicago in assists during the preseason opener. The 24-year-old guard should continue serving as the Bulls' primary playmaker, with his contributions in assists and rebounds providing fantasy value even when his scoring is limited.

Spencer finished with eight points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one assist in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 124-117 preseason loss to Chicago.

Spencer made both of his field goals from beyond the arc and avoided committing a turnover. The veteran guard will look to build on his perimeter shooting as he competes for playing time in Phoenix's crowded backcourt, though his regular-season fantasy outlook remains limited.

Bouyea registered nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two assists and one steal in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 124-117 preseason loss to Chicago.

Bouyea provided an efficient scoring spark in limited action, although he also committed three turnovers. With Devin Booker and Collin Gillespie among Phoenix's backcourt options, Bouyea faces considerable competition for regular-season minutes.

Dunn recorded four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 124-117 preseason loss to Chicago.

Dunn made his presence felt defensively, leading Phoenix's reserves in playing time while contributing across several statistical categories. His defensive versatility could help him secure a consistent rotation role, though limited offensive production may restrict his fantasy upside.

Kennard finished with eight points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 124-117 preseason loss to Chicago.

Kennard contributed as a secondary playmaker despite attempting just one three-pointer. The veteran sharpshooter figures to provide Phoenix with perimeter spacing and offensive versatility off the bench, though his fantasy value will depend largely on his playing time and three-point production.
