Jalen Smith turned in a strong performance in Monday’s loss to the Pelicans, stepping up in Nikola Vučević’s absence. Chicago’s foray into small-ball strategy struggled against New Orleans as they got outmatched in rebounds. Smith’s role going forward hinges on Vučević’s knee recovery, but his performance, including three three-pointers, indicates potential value for fantasy managers. The Bulls will face back-to-back games against the Hornets and Pacers to close out Week 6.
