Tonight's lineup and rotation has not been announced.

Carter is probable to play, but TBD on if he goes right back into the starting lineup. He did come off the bench last year in January for a 6-game stretch when he was coming back from injury, so we'll see what happens tonight.

Bulls really start 4 guards?

[Knightro]

The Bulls are No. 1 in the NBA in pace (104.9) and No. 3 in the NBA in 3PT attempts (42.5). The Magic are 28th in pace.

But when the Magic played them in Chicago earlier this year, the game was incredibly slow paced at just 99.2 and the Bulls only took attempted 34 threes.

And the Bulls won because the Magic were obnoxiously 11-46 (23.9%) from the 3PT line.

LaVine has been playing mostly SF this year per the BREF PxP.

But as of now with Patrick Williams out injured, that's the lineup they went with last night.

I think the Bulls won also because Paolo got injured that game

Sure. And Franz was sick and didn't play much.

Oh no last time we played them our whole season changed hopefully we get W and carve out the turkey. I hate it when players refused to bite the turkey, Franz wasn't scared.

The beginning of Cole's decline

[3ddman23]

Must win. No reason to lose at home to this team. They aren't good and we are just flat out better (even without paolo). We all know what needs to be done for this team to win. If they do it they win the game. If they don't then it becomes a dogfight with mixed results. Well see. Go magic and carve the turkey.

[BadMofoPimp]

Magic have been great at winning with fluctuating lineups. I sure hope Vooch doesn't provem all wrong!!!

[Knightro]

Wendell on a 14-16 minute restriction per Mosley.

[Orlando Dawg]

The way the Magic shoot 3’s they can loose any game to anyone

[tooler]

Just make shots.

[Knightro]

Actually a big opportunity ahead for Jett. I wouldn't be shocked if Gary misses the next couple of weeks. He's typically a slow healer and hamstrings are tricky anyway.

Jett could potentially seize a rotation spot and ideally not give it back.

The Way the Magic play defense, they can win ANY game against ANYONE.

I hope I'm wrong about him

[Skybox]

Wow...4 guards and Vuc!!! I'd say we should feast but I thought that before CHA gave us a handful...and there's a lot more offensive talent here. Good to Lonzo listed as playing ...but I do respect his ability to orchestrate the scorers around him. Giddey too...they could run us around in circles if we're not locked in at the POA. We win on paper but it might be a fun one.

Zach auditioning too...he saw my post

The Bulls won their last game. Factoid, only once this year has the Bulls won a game after a win; and that was on 31 Oct against Orlando.



The funny thing about that game was it was Chicago's 2nd lowest scoring game of the season. But still they beat Orlando.
