Wed Nov 30 202221:01Alex Caruso, Ayo Dosunmu To Play Wednesday
Chicago Bulls guards Alex Caruso (ankle) and Ayo Dosunmu (knee) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Caruso has been battling through foot and ankle issues recently, but will play through the pain here. The expectation is that he'll have his normal role in the rotation. He'll be a decent streaming option in deep leagues. Dosunmu's return should mean that Coby White returns to his normal role and won't see a boost anymore.

Sun Nov 27 202214:35Alex Caruso Misses Sunday's Practice
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (foot) sat out of Sunday's practice session. The Bulls have listed Caruso as doubtful for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. The fact he's dealing with a right foot sprain could mean he'll miss some time. However, the Bulls will probably wait until after shootaround on Monday before making a final decision. Coby White and Goran Dragic would be the two players that would benefit the most, assuming Caruso is forced to miss time. Between the two, White is the better streaming option with a few strong performances lately.

Sun Nov 6 202222:15Alex Caruso Fills The Stat Sheet On Sunday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso had a double-double that didn't consist of points on Sunday. The 28-year-old finished the game with just four points but added 11 rebounds, 11 assists, two steals, and two blocks. Hopefully, fantasy managers weren't depending on scoring and shooting percentages from Caruso as he only shot 1-for-11 overall and missed all six of his three-point attempts. His value only comes in deeper leagues, mainly for points leagues and a category build while punting some stats.

Mon Oct 24 202218:41Alex Caruso Available On Monday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (hamstring) will be available for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was listed as probable, so it sounds like this was only a minor hamstring issue. The expectation is that Caruso won't be limited for this game. However, he's more of a deep league asset than anything else at the moment. Although, Caruso could carve out a bigger role for himself down the road.

Wed Oct 19 202218:20Alex Caruso Available Against Miami
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (calf) will play during the season-opener against Miami. He was trending in that direction all along, so his availability isn't a surprise. With Zach LaVine (knee) out, Caruso will likely enter the starting lineup, where he averaged 5.7 points, 4.4 assists, and 1.2 steals in 18 starts in 2021-22. He's a risky fantasy option, although his ability on the defensive end may come in handy for category participants.

Tue Oct 18 202223:18Alex Caruso Expected To Play Against Miami
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (calf) is expected to play on Wednesday versus the Miami Heat. Lonzo Ball (knee) is already out, and Zach LaVine (knee) is questionable, so Caruso may see even more minutes than anticipated. The 28-year-old was productive last season despite playing in only 41 games due to injury, averaging 7.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.7 steals. His shooting numbers aren't the best, and he's also not the most proficient scorer. Yet, for the category managers looking for steals, Caruso is your guy.

Wed Apr 27 202210:02Alex Caruso Ruled Out For Game 5
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (head) has officially been ruled out for Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. Caruso is currently going through the league's concussion protocol. He suffered a head injury in the first half of Game 4 and did not return to the game. Zach LaVine has also been ruled out for Game 5 due to health and safety protocols. We will likely see the team go with a starting backcourt of rookie Ayo Dosunmu and third-year pro Coby White. Both players should have extremely high usage for the game to make up for the absence of Caruso and LaVine.

Mon Apr 25 202220:33Alex Caruso Uncertain For Wednesday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (head) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was originally ruled out, but it sounds like Caruso has a chance to suit up. He is still going through concussion protocol, so fantasy managers will likely have to wait until closer to Wednesday for more information. Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White would see additional playing time, assuming Caruso is unavailable on Wednesday.

Sun Apr 24 202218:35Alex Caruso Being Evaluated For A Concussion
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (head) didn't return to Sunday's playoff loss to Milwaukee after being struck in the face during the second quarter. Although the Bulls haven't released any further details, he underwent an evaluation for a concussion. With the Bucks taking a commanding 3-1 lead in the series, losing Caruso wouldn't be ideal for a Chicago team that is already lacking depth in the backcourt. Nonetheless, if Caruso is indeed ruled out for Game 5 on Wednesday, Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White will likely get extra playing time. Without question, both men can exceed their DFS asking prices, although it's hard to tell which player will be more productive.

Sun Apr 24 202214:46Alex Caruso Ruled Out For The Remainder Of Game 4
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (face) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Game 4 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was hit in the face in the second quarter of the game. Rookie guard Ayo Dosunmu wound up starting the second half for the team and he should see a lot of usage the rest of the way on Sunday. Caruso played 17 minutes before leaving the game. He racked up four assists, four rebounds, two blocks and one steal without scoring any points. We should have more updates in regards to the severity of the injury shortly, so make sure to stay tuned.

Wed Apr 13 202214:47Alex Caruso Logs Full Practice, Feels ‘Close To 100 Percent’
Chicago Bulls point/shooting guard Alex Caruso (back) will have until Sunday to ramp up and take the floor for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs vs. Milwaukee, but he is reportedly progressing smoothly after notching a full practice Tuesday. Caruso missed the final three regular-season contests due to a back ailment, paving the way for Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu to take on elevated backcourt roles. Caruso has been a vital cog to Chicago's starting five this year, although his sporadic scoring production caps his DFS appeal. He was held scoreless across 22 minutes in his regular-season finale on April 5, which came against the Bucks.

Sat Apr 9 202217:38Nikola Vucevic, Alex Caruso Will Miss Regular-Season Finale
Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (rest) and point/shooting guard Alex Caruso (back) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against Minnesota. Vucevic and Caruso join leading scorers DeMar DeRozan (rest) and Zach LaVine (rest) on the sidelines, paving the way for Chicago's second unit to take on significantly increased offensive roles against the league's top team in terms of pace. Vucevic's scoring average dipped to just 17.6 PPG this year, but he averaged a double-double for the fourth consecutive campaign. Caruso was limited to just 41 games (18 starts) due to myriad injuries, and his status for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs remains unclear. Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu would see elevated roles if Caruso is sidelined beyond Sunday.

Fri Apr 8 202218:36Alex Caruso Won't Play Against Hornets
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He'll miss his second game in a row due to a lower back contusion. Although, fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned as the Bulls are likely just resting Caruso as a precaution. Both Coby White and Javonte Green should see extended roles with Caruso sitting out. Zach LaVine (knee) will be available, so he'll be asked to carry the offense alongside DeMar DeRozan.

Wed Apr 6 202215:09Alex Caruso Unlikely To Suit Up For Wednesday’s Game
Chicago Bulls point/shooting guard Alex Caruso (back) has been deemed doubtful to play in Wednesday's contest vs. the Celtics due to a lower back contusion. Caruso has been a vital member of Chicago's starting five this season, although he has delivered little by way of fantasy production with just two double-digit scoring outings over his last nine starts. Utilized for his on-court tenacity, an absence from Caruso would pave the way for Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu to absorb his minutes and see elevated offensive roles. With back-to-back scoreless appearances, Caruso isn't a fantasy-relevant option over the final days of the regular season.

Tue Mar 29 202218:39Alex Caruso Cleared To Play On Tuesday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (back) is officially good to go for Tuesday night's game against the Washington Wizards. The 28-year-old is currently hampered by a lower back injury. He had been listed as probable for Tuesday's game earlier on in the day. Caruso will join Ayo Dosunmu, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic in the starting five for Tuesday's game. Caruso doesn't do much in the scoring department, but he's averaging 3.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 three-pointers per game over nine games in March.

Tue Mar 29 202214:59Alex Caruso Should Play Versus Wizards
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (back) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He is dealing with a lower back contusion, but was able to play through the issue on Saturday. Fantasy managers should expect Caruso out there and he'll likely have an increased role with Zach LaVine (knee) questionable right now. Otherwise, Coby White and Ayo Domunmu would be heavily involved, assuming both Caruso and LaVine sit out.

Sat Mar 26 202212:42Alex Caruso Likely To Suit Up Against Cleveland
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (back) is expected to play on Saturday against Cleveland. Caruso is an occupant of the injury report because of a lower back bruise. However, it appears he will be good to go. Nonetheless, Caruso hasn't done a whole lot since returning from an extended absence caused by a right wrist fracture, although he has received his share of minutes in each game since he's been back and can be a nightmare of the defensive end.

Mon Mar 21 202219:39Alex Caruso Slides Into The Starting Five
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Ayo Dosunmu will head to the second unit with Caruso taking over in the starting five. Despite this, fantasy managers shouldn't panic about Dosunmu's value. This move was likely to help the Bulls starting five on defense, but Dosunmu should still play 25 or more minutes per game. Both players should be worth rostering through the rest of the regular season.

Fri Mar 11 202214:58Alex Caruso Able To Practice On Friday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (wrist) was able to get through Friday's practice without any issues. It appears he is closing in on a return to the court, but remains without a timetable. Technically, the Bulls haven't ruled out Caruso for Saturday's game, but it would be surprising to see him on the court. He continues to have soreness in his wrist and needs to strengthen it. Caruso hasn't started taking contact yet, so that'll likely be the next step. It sounds like he could return within the next week or two.

Mon Feb 28 202219:26Alex Caruso To Miss A Few More Weeks
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (wrist) was able to get back on the court Monday. This is the first time Caruso has been on the court since undergoing wrist surgery. It sounds like Caruso looked good on Monday, but he'll need a few more weeks, according to head coach Billy Donovan. He needs to continue building up strength in his wrist before being cleared for contact. That being said, it appears unlikely that Caruso will be able to make much of an impact during the fantasy playoffs. Fantasy managers can hold him in the hope that he beats his timetable. In the meantime, Javonte Green, Coby White, and Ayo Dosunmo will continue seeing increased roles.
