Players to Watch:
Chicago Bulls
Josh Giddey
Giddey has delivered elite category value this season with seven triple-doubles and 22 double-doubles. He contributes across points, rebounds, assists, and defense.
Coby White
White has been red-hot since March, scoring 24+ points in 15 of 18 games. He’s shooting 54% from the field, 40% from three, and 97% from the line this month.
Nikola Vucevic
A key piece in the Bulls’ turnaround, Vucevic has brought steady scoring, rebounding, and playmaking — nearly recording three triple-doubles this month alone.
Matas Buzelis
Since LaVine’s departure, Buzelis has stepped up as a consistent scorer and a defensive asset, especially with his shot-blocking.
Kevin Huerter
Huerter has found his rhythm after being traded to Chicago. Though streaky, he’s rediscovered his shooting touch, particularly from three.
Miami Heat
Tyler Herro
With Butler out, Herro has stepped up and earned Most Improved Player consideration. After a nine-game losing streak in March, he helped spark a six-game winning streak, scoring 25+ points in five of those games while maintaining strong all-around production.
Bam Adebayo
Bam remains a versatile force, averaging nearly 10 rebounds and 2 stocks per game. Recently, he’s improved his outside shooting — hitting 13 threes at 57% in his last five games and scoring 20+ in four of them.
Andrew Wiggins
Since returning from injury, Wiggins has averaged nearly 30 fantasy points in his last two games. Known for his two-way impact, he’ll be key against the Bulls on both ends of the floor.
Kel’el Ware
The rookie has been a steady contributor since entering the starting lineup. His presence has shifted Adebayo to power forward, and he’s been reliable at the center position.
Davion Mitchell
Mitchell has provided strong value off the bench, scoring double digits in 12 of his last 13 games, while contributing consistent assists and steals.
