The Dallas Mavericks are on the second of a back-to-back, so they have not yet released an injury report. Fans will want to keep an eye on the statuses of Luka Doncic (thumb) and Kristaps Porzingis (rest). Both players could be out for the Mavs in Chicago, so stay tuned.
The Bulls have a massive injury report heading into the game. Kris Dunn (knee), Chandler Hutchinson (shoulder), Luke Kornet (ankle) and Max Strus (knee) are listed as out. Lauri Markkanen is doubtful to play with a pelvis injury. Otto Porter Jr. remains questionable as he recovers from a foot fracture. They also listed Coby White, Ryan Archidiancono, Wendell Carter Jr, and Zach LaVine as probable to face the Mavericks.
Fans should be sure to check Twitter for updates just before tipoff.
Storyline to follow: Who steps up?
Dallas Mavericks fans will be watching the statuses of Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis. Both stars could be out in Chicago. If that happens, who steps up for Dallas?
Seth Curry has been on fire in recent games. He is averaging 19.7 points on 57.1 percent shooting over his last ten games. Curry will be asked to do more if Luka and KP are both out.
Tim Hardaway Jr. will also need to step up and take on more scoring responsibility. That should not be an issue for the 27-year-old guard.
The Smoking Cuban will be back with plenty more after the game and so much more making checking back to the site a must.
