News and Notes
Nov 8 F Luol Deng logged heavy minutes against the Bobcats, playing all but 48 seconds. The Bulls have just 10 healthy players right now and Deng often slid to power forward on Saturday while John Salmons played small forward. Deng went scoreless in the first half, but finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds against the Bobcats. Yahoo! Sports

Nov 5 Deng had 15 points and seven rebounds in Thursday's 86-85 win over Cleveland. He also helped stop LeBron James on a drive in the final seconds.

Advice: It has been an encouraging start to the season for Deng, who missed the final 22 games last season and then the playoffs with a stress fracture in his right tibia. Through five games, he's averaging 17.2 points and 9.8 rebounds.

Nov 3 Deng followed up an impressive 26 point, 8 rebound effort Sunday with a monster 24 point, 20 board performance in Tuesday's victory over Milwaukee.

Recommendation: Deng was 7-of-16 shooting, and 9-of-11 from the line. He also added two blocks. Deng mentioned following the game that he's "happy he's healthy," which is good news for fantasy owners worried that the stress fracture in his tibia which forced him to miss the final 22 games of last season might still be lingering.
