Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Goes for 15 points Monday
Buzelis finished with 15 points (5-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes off the bench in Monday's 111-107 preseason loss to the Bucks.
Buzelis struggled a bit with his shot, but the rookie has been finding ways to produce when given the opportunity. He's slated to open the season on a bench role, but if things go south for the Bulls as the campaign progresses, don't rule out the possibility of Buzelis seeing an increased role in the final months.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Hands out five dimes Monday
Giddey finished with 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, five assists and a block across 22 minutes in Monday's 111-107 preseason loss to the Bucks.
Giddey is slated to open the 2024-25 season as the Bulls' starting point guard, so it's certainly a good omen to see him lead the team in assists in a game where none of the other projected starters saw action. Giddey is coming off a down 2023-24 season with the Thunder, but he has a good chance of bouncing back in Chicago, where he'll have a bigger role and more freedom on offense.

Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Productive off bench Monday
Horton-Tucker registered 15 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds and an assist across 18 minutes off the bench in Monday's 111-107 preseason loss to the Bucks.
Horton-Tucker is battling for a roster spot with the Bulls, and while these performances might strengthen his case, his chances of securing a spot in the Opening Night rotation aren't very high. Horton-Tucker has averaged at least 10.0 points per game in each of his last three seasons, though, so he could provide some scoring and flexibility off the bench for a rebuilding Chicago team.

Bulls' Adama Sanogo: Explodes for double-double Monday
Sanogo contributed 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes in Monday's 111-107 preseason loss to the Bucks.
Sanogo posted a team-high 16 points and a game-high 15 rebounds while leading the Bulls in playing time. The 22-year-old got the start Monday due to both Nikola Vucevic (rest) and Jalen Smith (knee) being sidelined. Sanogo is signed to a two-way pact with the Bulls and will likely spend the majority of his time with their G League affiliate -- the Windy City Bulls. However, if injury concerns arise for the club in the frontcourt, the second-year big man could step into a larger role off the bench.

Bulls' Julian Phillips: Won't return Monday
Phillips (ribs) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's preseason matchup against the Bucks, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports. He amassed 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt) and two rebounds across 12 minutes.
Phillips left the game during the second quarter after getting tangled up with Gary Trent, and the severity of his injury is unknown. Phillips hit the floor hard, though he briefly stayed in the game before heading back to the locker room. The 20-year-old will have two more chances to suit up again before the end of the preseason, with his next opportunity coming Wednesday against Minnesota.

Bulls' Julian Phillips: Heads back to locker room Monday
Phillips (undisclosed) went back to the locker room during the second quarter of Monday's preseason game versus the Bucks, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Gary Trent and Phillips got tangled up, with the latter hitting the deck hard. The 20-year-old's status is currently unknown, but he was able to briefly remain in the game, so his trip back to the locker room is likely just a precaution. If Phillips' night is over, he will end with 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt) and two rebounds across 12 minutes.

Bulls' Zach LaVine: Resting Monday
LaVine won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Bucks due to rest purposes, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
The Bulls neglected to report any kind of injury for the star forward, so this appears to be a standard rest night. LaVine will have another chance to appear in preseason action Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Bulls' Julian Phillips: Picks up start Monday
Phillips will enter the starting lineup in Monday's preseason game versus the Bucks.
With Patrick Williams (wrist) out, Phillips will get the start at power forward Monday. The 20-year-old impressed off the bench in Saturday's loss to the Grizzlies, during which he amassed 21 points and eight rebounds while shooting 7-for-12 from the field and an extremely efficient 5-for-8 from downtown.

Bulls' Coby White: Out Monday
White (groin) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Bucks, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
White continues to deal with a groin injury, and the team doesn't appear to be in a rush to clear him until he's back at 100 percent. He'll have another chance to play in the preseason Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Bulls' Dalen Terry: Steps into starting lineup
Terry is starting Monday's preseason game against the Bucks.
Terry shouldered a heavy workload (25 minutes) during Saturday's exhibition against the Grizzlies, and he should be in line for another busy evening with most of Chicago's starting five sidelined.

Bulls' Adama Sanogo: Gets start vs. Bucks on Monday
Sanogo will enter the starting five in Monday's preseason matchup against the Bucks.
With both Nikola Vucevic (rest) and Jalen Smith (knee) ruled out, Sanogo will receive his first start of the preseason. The 22-year-old is signed to a two-way pact and will likely spend the majority of his time during the regular season with the club's G League affiliate -- the Windy City Bulls.

Bulls' Onuralp Bitim: Enters starting five
Bitim is starting Monday's preseason game against the Bucks.
Bitim will get a chance to run with the first unit Monday evening while the Bulls give the majority of the starting five the night off. Bitim didn't see any action in Saturday's preseason game, so this will be a great opportunity for the 25-year-old to show what he can do.

Bulls' Jalen Smith: Out with knee soreness Monday
Coach Billy Donovan said Smith (knee) will not play in Monday's preseason matchup against the Bucks, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Smith has been dealing with knee soreness, though he is not expected to miss any time to start the regular season. The 24-year-old is expected to serve as the club's backup center behind Nikola Vucevic (rest), and with both absent Monday, the club will take an extended look at Adama Sanogo and Kenneth Lofton.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Out for Monday
Coach Billy Donovan said Williams (wrist) will not suit up for Monday's preseason matchup against the Bucks, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Williams jammed his wrist during Saturday's preseason game against the Grizzlies. However, X-rays came back negative, and the 23-year-old is likely just sitting in preparation for Opening Night. Williams' next chance to suit up during the preseason will be Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Bulls' Ayo Dosunmu: Won't suit up Monday
Coach Billy Donovan said Dosunmu (rest/shoulder) will not play in Monday's preseason game versus the Bucks, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Dosunmu left Saturday's contest versus the Grizzlies early after sustaining a stinger to his left shoulder. However, the shoulder injury is no longer expected to be an issue, and the 24-year-old is likely only missing Monday's game due to rest purposes. Dosunmu's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Gets day off Monday
Coach Billy Donovan said Vucevic (rest) will not play in Monday's preseason game versus the Bucks, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Vucevic won't suit up Monday, though it is expected to be a scheduled day off for the veteran. The 33-year-old's next opportunity to feature during the preseason will come Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Bulls' Lonzo Ball: Targeting Wednesday for debut
Ball (knee) could return for Wednesday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic reports.
The Bulls are reportedly targeting this return date, barring any setbacks. Ball has been ramping up his activity in recent practices, but the Bulls wouldn't bring him back if they weren't confident in the health of his knee. Even if he's cleared, Ball will likely face heavy restrictions.

Bulls' Julian Phillips: Shines off bench Saturday
Phillips posted 21 points (7-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and an assist across 27 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 124-121 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.
Zach LaVine was the best player for the Bulls by a wide margin, but Phillips certainly turned a few heads with his play off the bench. The former Tennessee standout is a long shot to make the Opening Night roster, and even if he does, he's not expected to play a significant role as a depth option in both forward roles. Phillips averaged 8.1 minutes per game across 40 regular-season appearances as a rookie in 2023-24.

Bulls' Zach LaVine: Scores game-high 28 points
LaVine finished with 28 points (9-12 FG, 6-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists and two steals across 22 minutes in Saturday's 124-121 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.
LaVine was deadly from beyond the arc and was extremely efficient as a scorer, but his efforts were not enough to lift the Bulls to a win in this matchup. Chicago has three games left before the start of the campaign, but LaVine already looks to be in form to start the season. The Bulls will certainly benefit if LaVine opens the regular season on a tear, especially if they look to trade him before the deadline.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Negative X-rays on wrist
Williams jammed his wrist and got X-rays following Saturday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, but the results were negative, according to Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com.
Williams got the start and was limited to just 18 minutes, finishing with three points (1-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals. It's unclear if the wrist injury had something to do with his woeful shooting performance, and it's unclear if Williams will play against the Bucks on Monday.
