The Lakers draw a challenging matchup against a Cavaliers team that ranks first in net rating despite Darius Garland being mostly unavailable this season.

Chicago Bulls News

Confirmed Lineup: Ayo Dosunmu, Alex Caruso, DeMar DeRozan, Patrick Williams, Nikola Vucevic

• Zach LaVine (injury management) — Out

DeRozan (32.0%) and Vucevic (24.1%) have received expanded usage in games LaVine has missed this season. Goran Dragic has taken on 24.6% usage with White out for the last three games and his shot creation would be even more important if LaVine rests the front end of a back-to-back.

• Fred VanVleet (back) — In

• Khem Birch (knee) — Out

• Justin Champagnie (G-League) — Out

Barnes recorded 29.6% usage and an 85.7% assist rate in the fourth quarter after Siakam's departure Friday. Siakam has led the Raptors in both usage and assist rate thus far, and opportunities should expand across the lineup in his expected absence.

• Johnny Davis (G-League) — Out

• Delon Wright (hamstring) — Injured

Barton, Morris, and likely Deni Avdija should initiate more offense with Beal in health and safety protocols for at least the fifth time. Kuzma recorded 27.5% usage and a 24.1% assist rate with Porzingis also adding 31.2% usage after Beal was out for the season last year.

Memphis Grizzlies News
