The Bulls will also have Jalen Smith (quad) as the team brings in a fully healthy roster for just the second time this season. Dosunmu could see some additional run after logging only 14 minutes in his return from a three-game absence on Friday, and White should see his usual allotment of minutes. Smith is likely in line for 10-15 minutes off the bench backing up Nikola Vucevic with Zach Collins.

Conley will return following a four-game absence, and he should see his usual allotment of minutes off the bench. That should cut Rob Dillingham’s minutes significantly, as Anthony Edwards (foot) is also available.

Poeltl has a chance to take the court on Sunday, but fantasy managers shouldn’t get too excited. He’s seen his role diminish in recent weeks, as Toronto has given more playing time to Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles. If Poeltl is available, he’ll likely start, but he’s sure to share the court with the pair of backup bigs.

Middleton took the court on Saturday, but he’ll sit out for the second leg of Washington’s back-to-back set. With Coulibaly and Whitmore also sidelined, the Wizards will be shorthanded at forward, which may mean an expanded role for Justin Champagnie. Alex Sarr has been ruled out, and Marvin Bagley III is questionable, so Tre Johnson and Will Riley could be called on more off the bench.

Sarr returned from a six-game absence on Thursday, and he played in two straight games, including Saturday’s win over Memphis. Washington is likely playing it safe with Sarr on the second leg of a back-to-back set. With Bagley III banged up, Tristan Vukcevic could be in line for big minutes against San Antonio.

White was slapped with a questionable tag on Saturday, but he’s now on track to take the court against Atlanta on Sunday. White played well over his last two games and will look to finish Week 9 on a high note.

Inserted into the Lakers’ starting lineup due to Rui Hachimura (groin) being sidelined, LaRavia posted his first double-double of the season. Add in the assists and steals, and this was one of his best performances of the season. Hachimura could also miss Tuesday’s game against the Suns, which would raise LaRavia’s fantasy ceiling in the short term.

With Austin Reaves and Deandre Ayton unavailable and Luka Dončić not returning for the second half, James was left to do most of the heavy lifting offensively. The Lakers’ forward, who turns 41 on December 30, showed that he still has plenty left in the tank, dropping his first 30-point game of the season. And over the last two weeks, LeBron has been close to a first-round player in eight-cat, 12-team formats. The Lakers play three games in Week 10, starting with the Suns on Tuesday.

With Ivica Zubac leaving Saturday’s game during the first half, there was a greater need for production from Collins. He answered the call, recording his first double-double of the season. Overall, Collins has been a disappointment in fantasy basketball, but he has been a top-100 player in eight-cat formats over the last two weeks. If Zubac misses time, Collins stands to benefit, and Brook Lopez (11 points, five rebounds, two blocks and three three-pointers in 25 minutes) should as well.

Harden continued his climb up the NBA’s career assists list, as he passed Andre Miller to move into 12th during Saturday’s victory. “The Beard,” who did not play in Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets, recorded his ninth double-double of the season and first since November 29. For the season, he’s providing top-10 value in eight-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (15) by a few spots.
