Darius Garland missed nine of 12 field goal attempts on Monday and finished with 10 points. He had scored 30 points in each of his previous two games. Garland has averaged 21.7 PPG since Collin Sexton (knee) was lost for the year in early November.
What you need to know about the Bulls
Meanwhile, Chicago eased past the Denver Nuggets on Monday, 109-97 as Zach LaVine had 32 points and eight assists. The Bulls pulled off the win despite being without DeMar DeRozan (health and safety protocols) and Alex Caruso (hamstring). Coby White was also out due to health and safety protocols.
DeRozan, White, Javonte Green and Matt Thomas are all out Wednesday due to the protocols, while Caruso is doubtful with his hamstring strain. Their absences will force Chicago to rely more on LaVine who ranks sixth in the NBA in scoring at 25.9 points per game. Meanwhile, Lonzo Ball is the only player in the league with 120-plus rebounds (139), 120-plus assists (123), 40-plus steals (42), and 25-plus blocks (26).
