Impressive stretch continues
Yabusele logged 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 124-105 loss to the Celtics.
Analysis
Although Yabusele has impressed during his brief time in Chicago following the departure of Nikola Vucevic, it'll be interesting to see what kind of role he plays once Jalen Smith (calf) gets back on the court. Yabusele has averaged 10.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers in 26.8 minutes per contest in his last four games, connecting on 41.7 percent of his three-point shots.

Starting Saturday
Yabusele is part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Denver.
Analysis
Yabusele will start in his second game with the Bulls, stepping in for the injured Jalen Smith (calf). Yabusele had a stellar Chicago debut, posting 15 points and 11 rebounds across 33 minutes. Even with Nick Richards (recently traded) and Leonard Miller (recently traded) available to make their Bulls debuts, expect Yabusele to see plenty of run Saturday night.
