Horton-Tucker registered nine points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and three steals across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 109-90 Play-In Game loss to the Heat.
Horton-Tucker was used sparingly by the Bulls for most of the regular season, appearing in 58 games with averages of 6.5 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.7 three-pointers in 12.5 minutes per contest. Heading into his age-25 season in 2025-26, Horton-Tucker will be a free agent this summer.

Rotowire
Horton-Tucker racked up 17 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six assists, three rebounds and two steals across 29 minutes during Sunday's 122-102 victory over the 76ers.
The Iowa State product led the Bulls in playing time while finishing as the club's second-leading scorer against Philadelphia. He also recorded a game-high six assists, tying his season high. The 24-year-old has played fairly consistent minutes of late due to Tre Jones (foot) and Lonzo Ball (wrist) being sidelined, reaching the double-digit mark in points during six of his last eight appearances. Horton-Tucker made 58 regular-season appearances during the 2024-25 campaign, finishing with averages of 6.5 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.7 three-pointers, 0.4 steals and 0.2 blocks across a career-low 12.5 minutes per contest.

Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Chips in 27 points off bench
Rotowire
Horton-Tucker ended Tuesday's 137-118 win over the Raptors with 27 points (8-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 32 minutes.
Horton-Tucker played a season-high 32 minutes off the bench Tuesday and finished as the Bulls' second-leading scorer behind Coby White (28). Horton-Tucker has seen an uptick in playing time over the Bulls' last two games after seeing sparse minutes for most of March, in part due to an ankle injury. He should continue to see extended minutes off the bench if Julian Phillips (quadriceps), Dalen Terry (calf) and Jevon Carter (shoulder) remain sidelined.

Horton-Tucker logged 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 16 minutes during Monday's 145-117 loss to the Thunder.
This game was over in a hurry, allowing Horton-Tucker to see ample minutes in garbage time. Therefore, fantasy managers shouldn't chase after this line. Across nine March appearances, Horton-Tucker averaged 5.3 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 10.4 minutes per game.

Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Green light to play Saturday
Rotowire
Horton-Tucker (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Miami.
Horton-Tucker popped up on Friday's injury report due to a right ankle sprain, but the injury isn't severe enough for him to be sidelined Saturday. He has played in each of Chicago's last three games after missing 10 of the Bulls' 12 games prior.

Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Likely to face Miami on Saturday
Rotowire
Horton-Tucker is listed as probable for Saturday's game against Miami due to a right ankle sprain.
The right ankle sprain is a new injury for Horton-Tucker, though the probable tag suggests that it's seemingly minor enough for him to play through. The 24-year-old guard could see a slight uptick in playing time if he's able to suit up Saturday, as Lonzo Ball (wrist) is listed as doubtful. Over his last five outings, Horton-Tucker has averaged 7.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 14.0 minutes per game.

Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Pops for season-high 22
Rotowire
Horton-Tucker supplied 22 points (9-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and six assists in 31 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 139-117 loss to Cleveland.
With Josh Giddey (quadriceps), Lonzo Ball (wrist) and Kevin Huerter (knee) all unavailable, Horton-Tucker played more than 30 minutes for the first time all season and turned the usage into his best scoring effort of 2024-25. The six assists also tied his season high, but the 24-year-old guard has been little more than a depth piece when the rest of the Chicago backcourt has been healthy. Since the All-Star break, Horton-Tucker had played only 22 total minutes across two games, while being a DNP for four other contests, prior to Tuesday's performance.

Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Good to go against Golden State
Rotowire
Horton-Tucker (lower leg) is available for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.
A left lower leg infectioncaused Horton-Tucker to miss the Bulls' last three games, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to suit up Saturday. Even though he's back in action for the Bulls, Horton-Tucker won't be guaranteed a spot in head coach Billy Donovan's rotation.

Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Out again Wednesday
Rotowire
Horton-Tucker (leg) will not play Wednesday against the Timberwolves.
Horton-Tucker will sit out a fourth straight game for the Bulls. Chicago is expected to be busy at the deadline and already flipped Zach LaVine to Sacramento, so there could be some minutes available in the rotation upon Horton-Tucker's return.

Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Unlikely to play Tuesday
Rotowire
Horton-Tucker (lower leg) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
Horton-Tucker was unable to play in Sunday's 127-119 loss to the Pistons due to a lower leg injury, and it doesn't appear that he will be able to return Tuesday. Horton-Tucker's minutes have been irregular for most of the regular season; however, when he does return, he could have a larger role in the Bulls' rotation due to Zach LaVine (personal) being traded to the Kings on Sunday.

Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Out Sunday
Rotowire
Horton-Tucker (lower leg) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Horton-Tucker isn't a staple of Chicago's rotation, but his absence should open up a few extra minutes for Matas Buzelis and Dalen Terry, especially with Zach LaVine (personal) still out. Horton-Tucker's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Heat.

Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Downgraded to questionable Sunday
Rotowire
Horton-Tucker (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Detroit.
Horton-Tucker was available to suit up in Friday's win over Toronto after sustaining a left lower leg injury in Wednesday's loss to Boston. If the 24-year-old is sidelined Sunday, Dalen Terry and Matas Buzelis could see a slight uptick in playing time.

Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Probable for Sunday
Rotowire
Horton-Tucker (leg) has been listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Pistons.
After missing Friday's win against the Raptors, Horton-Tucker is trending toward returning to the floor for the Bulls. The veteran has had a rough stretch of games for Chicago, going scoreless during the last two games he played while logging a total of six minutes off the bench.

Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Playing Friday vs. Toronto
Rotowire
Horton-Tucker (leg) is available to play against the Raptors on Friday.
Horton-Tucker injured his lower left leg during the Bulls' 122-100 loss to the Celtics on Wednesday, but the injury doesn't appear severe enough for him to be held out of Friday's contest. Prior to Wednesday's game, Horton-Tucker averaged 5.3 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists over 10.2 minutes per game across 12 outings since and including Jan. 1.

Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Horton-Tucker (leg) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Horton-Tucker played only two minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Celtics before being ruled out for the game with a lower left leg injury. The 24-year-old might not be able to get back on the floor for Friday's game in Toronto, but this shouldn't have a significant impact from a fantasy perspective, as he plays just 11.5 minutes per game this season for the Bulls, averaging 5.9 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per contest.

Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Makes early exit Wednesday
Rotowire
Horton-Tucker has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to a left shin injury, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Horton-Tucker checked into the game for the first time with 1:50 remaining in the second quarter, and though he stayed in the game to close out the half, he apparently got hurt at some point along the way. He didn't accumulate any counting stats during his two minutes of court time before the Bulls ruled him out for the second half. Horton-Tucker had played under 10 minutes in three of his previous five appearances, so his absence for the rest of the game is unlikely to open up much extra playing time for other players.

Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Fails to score again Monday
Rotowire
Horton-Tucker racked up zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across four minutes during Monday's 129-121 win over Denver.
Horton-Tucker didn't trouble the scorers for the fourth time in the past seven games, a trend that seems unlikely to change any time soon. He is buried on the depth chart, playing meaningful minutes only when those ahead of him are sidelined. At this point in his career, there doesn't appear to be a light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to carving out a meaningful role in the NBA.

Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Emerges with 18 points off bench
Rotowire
Horton-Tucker recorded 18 points (6-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and three assists in 23 minutes during Monday's 112-99 victory over the Clippers.
After logging three straight scoreless outings, Horton-Tucker emerged with 18 points in just 23 minutes off Chicago's bench. The veteran swingman's usage was also particularly high, as he attempted a season-high 15 field goals in the absence of both Coby White (ankle) and Ayo Dosunmu (calf). Despite Monday's outburst, fantasy managers should likely take a wait-and-see approach before considering adding Horton-Tucker, who hasn't played a consistent role with the Bulls in 2024-25.

Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Upgraded to available
Rotowire
Horton-Tucker (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Horton-Tucker was a game-time call for this game, but he's been upgraded to available and should see minutes off the bench. He's averaging 10.3 minutes per game since the beginning of January, however, so he's not likely to have a big role in most fantasy formats.
