Chicago Bulls basketball will be slightly more watchable tonight! Celebrate the little things, folks.
• Zach LaVine is expected to make his return to the floor after missing the team’s previous 11 games due to the NBA’s Health and Safety Protocols. Likewise, Nikola Vucevic practiced fully with the team yesterday after missing the previous two games with an adductor strain. If both are back in the starting lineup tonight, the Bulls’ chances to steal a win in Charlotte should go up quite a bit. Not only did the Bulls beat this Hornets squad back on April 22nd behind a strong defensive showing, but tonight the Hornets could be without several rotation players, including Gordon Hayward, Devonte’ Graham, Miles Bridges, and Cody Martin.
