Chicago's current injury report includes Lonzo Ball (knee), DeMar DeRozan (personal) and Terry (knee). Alex Caruso (toe) is currently questionable.

Their offense is ranked 24th in the league, shooting 44.3% from the field and 34.9% from three-point range while averaging 109.8 points per contest. On defense, they are 16th in the league, giving up 113.7 points per game on 47.05% field goal shooting against and 37.28% three-point shooting against.

Magic Poised to Capitalize on Bulls' Injury Issues for Road Victory

Both teams face injury issues ahead of the game. The departure of DeRozan is a large setback for the Bulls, placing them in a position to depend more on LaVine and Vucevic to garner offensive points. The Magic demonstrate defensive effectiveness which creates difficulties for opposing teams. The young core of the Magic have been showing excellent play, and their performance can be expected to improve with increased cohesiveness. Unfortunately, Chicago's shooting stats make them fourth-worst in the league and the absence of their star player creates an insurmountable obstacle. The Magic are likely to win on the road.
