However, they are expected to be without<\/a> some key players, per Alex Kirschenbaum of Bleacher Nation. Among the players mentioned are Josh Giddey<\/a>, Jalen Smith, Coby White<\/a>, and Nikola Vucevic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Giddey didn\u2019t play on Thursday due to a hamstring injury. He is listed as \u201cquestionable\u201d for this weekend. Meanwhile, Smith was taken out of the second half<\/a> due to tightness in his calf. In the first half, he scored 11 points, extending his 10-game streak of scoring in double figures<\/a>. As for Vucevic, the Bulls may look to rest him before the game, as he is listed as \u201cdoubtful\u201d. Also, White was listed as \u201cquestionable\u201d as he continues to battle a calf injury.<\/p>\n

After losing on Thursday, the Bulls are now 23-25. All season long, injuries have taken a good chunk<\/a> out of their roster. Therefore, putting head coach Billy Donovan<\/a> in a position to continuously change lineups and rotations.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Chicago is still without Tre Jones<\/a> due to a hamstring injury<\/a>. Also, Zach Collins<\/a> remains out with an ongoing toe injury<\/a>. After this weekend, the Bulls will have two more road games next week.<\/p>\n
