Kevin Huerter Says Diet Was Part Of His Issue
Kevin Huerter has been hindered by a knee issue basically all season long. He says part of the reason that his knee has been bothering him is a bad diet. He went gluten-free near the start of the 2019-2020 season. "I didn’t want to deal with the injury anymore, and I felt like the diet was helping," he said. Huerter has top-100 value, assuming he can actually stay on the court. His shooting percentage and free throw percentage have been on the rise. However, Huerter is going to battle with Cam Reddish for playing time. Having to split up playing time at the shooting guard spot is going to hurt Huerter's value the most.

Kevin Huerter Cleared For Saturday
Kevin Huerter (thumb) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. As expected, Huerter has been cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report. Huerter is expected to have an increased role in the rotation with Tre Jones (foot) going down for at least the next two weeks. Huerter was already playing a fairly significant role with 29 minutes or more in each of his last seven games. During that span, Huerter has scored double digit points in six of those seven games. He's worth a look as a streaming option with the Bulls shorthanded at the guard spot.

Kevin Huerter Questionable For Thursday's Game
Kevin Huerter (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. He may be forced to skip a third consecutive game due to a right knee sprain. Huerter's absence has allowed Dalen Terry to make back-to-back starts, with Julian Phillips seeing more playing time off the bench. However, neither has made a significant impact in fantasy basketball. If Huerter doesn't return on Thursday, he will have only one more opportunity to suit up this week, as the Bulls visit the Miami Heat on Saturday.

Kevin Huerter Not Playing On Tuesday Versus Cleveland
Kevin Huerter (knee) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Huerter sprained his right knee and missed Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He also didn't practice on Monday. Chicago has a lengthy injury list, allowing Dalen Terry and Tre Jones more playing time. Jones is likely a better fantasy option of the two, and his value trends upward with Josh Giddey (quadriceps) and Lonzo Ball (wrist) out for this evening's contest.

Kevin Huerter Listed As Questionable Tuesday
Kevin Huerter (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. After spraining his right knee, Huerter missed Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers and was unable to practice on Monday. His chances of playing in Tuesday's game appear quite slim. Chicago currently has a lengthy injury list, which allows Dalen Terry and Tre Jones to have more playing time. Jones is the superior fantasy option of the two, but his value mainly depends on the statuses of Josh Giddey (quadriceps), Lonzo Ball (wrist), and Coby White (thumb).
