What to Watch For
• Wendell Carter Jr. returned to the floor after an 11-game absence on Monday with one hell of a performance. The Bulls watched his minutes carefully, only allowing him 21 minutes of action, but the third-year big man finished with 11 points and 9 rebounds. He was pivotal in the team’s ability to slow down the Pacers electric frontcourt duo of Domnatas Sabonis and Myles Turner, and the team can only hope he continues to trend in the right direction tonight. I would expect to see him used even more on the offensive end in this particular matchup, as the Pistons have given up the 7th-most points in the paint this season
