Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Fails to benefit sans Caruso
Rotowire
Dosunmu generated four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 20 minutes in Monday's 109-105 double-overtime win over the 76ers.
Even with Alex Caruso (foot) sitting out Monday, head coach Billy Donovan opted not to give Dosunmu a look in the starting lineup alongside Patrick Beverley. Patrick Williams moved up to the top unit instead, while Dosunmu didn't receive any notable bump in playing time while continuing to come off the bench. Dosunmu is averaging 5.2 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.3 three-pointers and 0.3 blocks in 19.2 minutes in 12 outings since the All-Star break, numbers that keep him irrelevant in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Limited playing time again Friday
Rotowire
Dosunmu contributed eight points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals in 18 minutes during Friday's 125-104 loss to Phoenix.
Dosunmu continues to play limited minutes off the bench, a far cry from his starting role to open the season. At this point, Patrick Beverley, Alex Caruso and Coby White are all ahead of him in the rotation. While he was moderately productive in this one, unless he is playing upwards of 30 minutes per night, there is no need to consider him outside of deeper formats.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Fares well in new role
Rotowire
Dosunmu posted seven points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Friday's 131-87 victory over the Nets.
Dosunmu moved to the bench in favor of Patrick Beverley on Friday, and he was surprisingly the second guard off the bench behind Coby White. Dosunmu ended up playing more minutes than both those guys, although the lopsided score certainly was a factor. No matter how you slice it, the arrival of Beverley will eat into Dosunmu's workload and fantasy value a good bit.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Heads to bench
Rotowire
Dosunmu will move to the bench Friday against the Nets.
The addition of Patrick Beverley was always going to squeeze Dosunmu's workload, but it will be interesting to see how this new-look rotation unfolds. It's possible that Dosunmu still has a big role while someone like Coby White loses a larger chunk of value.
Dosunmu supplied seven points (3-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 36 minutes during Thursday's 112-100 loss to the Bucks.
Dosunmu continues to disappoint on a nightly basis, delivering another underwhelming performance despite playing 36 minutes. The Bulls are a mess right now, highlighted by the fact they continue to start Dosunmu. This speaks to the lack of viable guard options in Chicago, which could cause the team to continue to struggle down the stretch. Dosunmu can be rostered in deeper formats simply due to the fact he will see heavy minutes on a nightly basis. Those in standard leagues would be better off either streaming or grabbing a player with more upside.
Dosunmu had two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 100-91 loss to Orlando.
Dosunmu continues to log heavy minutes for the Bulls, yet he finds himself well outside the top 150 over the past month. At this point, there is basically no upside when it comes to his fantasy game, outside of decent percentages. However, the fact he takes barely any shots almost negates that fact, making him a viable asset in deeper formats only.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Scores 14 on 14 shots
Rotowire
Dosunmu totaled 14 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, four rebounds and two blocks in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 104-89 loss to the Grizzlies.
Dosunmu reached double figures in the scoring column for the fifth game in a row, but he took a slight step back in terms of efficiency, which was to be expected after he converted at an unsustainable 71 percent clip from the field over the prior four contests. Perhaps more significant than the elevated scoring production of late is the fact that Dosunmu has averaged 30.8 minutes during the last five games, though the Bulls were missing top backup Alex Caruso for two of those contests, and DeMar DeRozan (hip) sat out Tuesday.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Efficient in win over Hornets
Rotowire
Dosunmu ended with 22 points (9-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 114-98 win over Charlotte.
The second-year guard had one of the most efficient performances of his career Thursday, missing just one shot from the field en route to tying his best scoring output of the campaign. He didn't provide significant contributions in other categories, but the 22-point performance was enough to make him a huge piece in this win. Dosunmu has now scored in double figures in five of his last eight outings.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Scores in double figures
Rotowire
Dosunmu supplied 12 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block over 28 minutes during Thursday's 111-96 loss to Charlotte.
Dosunmu scored in double digits after being held to just two and seven points in his last two matchups. Efficiency was the name of the game for Dosunmu, whose shot volume remained relatively stagnant, and he secured a block for the second time in three games. Due to Dosnmu's lack of shot volume, his numbers have been inconsistent scoring column for most of the 2022-23 campaign. However, he's been delivering a bit more of late, putting up 12 or more points in three of his last five appearances.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Comes up empty in win
Rotowire
Dosunmu ended with two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, five assists, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Monday's 111-100 win over Atlanta.
Dosunmu remained in the starting lineup Monday but failed to deliver once again. Despite starting every game over the past month, Dosunmu is outside the top 200 in that time. His minutes remain solid enough, but his production leaves a lot to be desired. He can be a viable streaming target on low-volume nights, but beyond that, he is best left for managers in deeper fantasy formats.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Tepid performance in start
Rotowire
Dosunmu had seven points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Saturday's 126-118 win over Utah.
Dosunmu attempted only four shots all night and logged just two assists, marking three straight games he's handed out two or less. His streaming appeal still remains, but he's going to have games where his usage is less than ideal.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Posts 19 points, five steals
Rotowire
Dosunmu registered 19 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists and five steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 103-102 loss to the Cavaliers.
Dosunmu had easily his best game since October, matching his career high with five steals. He added 19 points, the most he has scored in over two months. It's been a disappointing season for Dosunmu, who after opening as the starting point guard, saw his role cut in half in recent weeks. An injury to Alex Caruso opened the door for Dosunmu to step back into the starting lineup, a promotion that up until this game had yielded very little. He is not worth grabbing based on this performance but his production moving forward is worth keeping an eye on.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Back in starting lineup Friday
Rotowire
Dosunmu had nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 118-117 win over the Knicks.
Dosunmu was back in the starting lineup for just the second time in his last 10 appearances. After averaging just 13.3 minutes per game in the previous four contests, he's played more than 30 minutes in each of the last two games and may be in line for more playing time with Alex Caruso (concussion) out. Dosunmu has made 36.4 percent of his three-pointers in December after converting just 32.3 percent over the first two months.
