After a wild win against the Orlando Magic on Thursday night, the Chicago Bulls face off against a slumping Miami Heat team on the second night of a back-to-back.
While neither of these teams is likely to make big noise in the playoffs, Friday night's matchup could have big implications in a potential play-in tournament matchup.
The Chicago Bulls have six players listed on their injury report: Lonzo Ball, Ayo Dosunmu, Talen Horton-Tucker, Nikola Vucevic, Coby White, and Patrick Williams.
Lonzo Ball is doubtful with a right wrist sprain.
