For the Bulls, they have six players listed on their injury report, including both Anfernee Simons and Jaden Ivey.

The Bulls have also listed Isaac Okoro as doubtful due to right patellofemoral pain syndrome while Guerschon Yabusele is doubtful with a left ankle sprain and both players are expected to miss Wednesday’s matchup.
