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.

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.

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.

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.
