Dosunmu is expected to miss his second straight game due to a sprained right thumb. If the 25-year-old is ultimately ruled out, Dalen Terry (hand), Tre Jones and Julian Phillips are candidates for increased playing time off the bench, especially if Kevin Huerter (adductor) remains on the shelf.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Available Sunday
Rotowire
Dosunmu (thumb) is available for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Dosunmu will give it a go after missing Friday's loss to the Pacers due to a right thumb sprain. Over his last five appearances (four starts), the fifth-year swingman has averaged 16.4 points, 3.0 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 32.6 minutes per game. His return could result in fewer minutes for Julian Phillips and Dalen Terry (calf).

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Dosunmu (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
Dosunmu missed Friday's loss to the Pacers, which allowed Jevon Carter to see meaningful minutes in the rotation, operating as the team's sixth man. If Dosunmu is ruled out again Sunday, Carter could have some low-end appeal in daily fantasy leagues.

Rotowire
Dosunmu finished with 18 points (6-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Monday's 125-120 loss to Orlando.
The Bulls have a laundry list of players on the injury report, including Kevin Huerter (thigh) after he departed early Monday, so Dosunmu is in position to soak up more usage until the team gets healthier. Dosunmu is worth rostering in most formats, having averaged 15.8 points, 3.2 assists and 2.7 rebounds per contest in 18 games this season while shooting a sparkling 49.3 percent from deep.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Available to play
Rotowire
Dosunmu (quadriceps) will be available to play Saturday against the Cavaliers, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
Dosunmu will again be limited to roughly 24 minutes on the second leg of this back-to-back set, although it's worth noting that head coach Billy Donovan said that this may be the last time that Dosunmu has minutes restrictions on a back-to-back. Still, he's tough to trust in daily settings if his minutes are capped in the 20s.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Out Thursday
Rotowire
Dosunmu (thumb) will not play in Thursday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Dosunmu will miss Chicago's preseason finale as a precautionary measure, but he'll likely be fine for Opening Night against Detroit on Wednesday. Dosunmu is capable of providing some low-end value as a starter, but when he's working with the reserves, it's tough for him to make an impact in most fantasy leagues.
