NBA's official injury report
The Bulls come into the night as the tenth seed (the final play-in tournament spot) in the Eastern Conference with a 34-38 record in 72 games.
They are 6-4 in their last ten games but just 14-21 in the 35 games they have played on the road away from the United Center in Chicago.
Last season, the Bulls made the NBA Playoffs for the first time since 2017, so they have had a disappointing year.
Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers are the 13th seed in the Western Conference with a 32-40 record in 72 games.
They are 3-7 in their last ten games and 17-18 in the 35 games they have hosted on their home floor in Oregon.
After dealing with injuries and missing the playoffs in 2022, the Trail Blazers will likely miss the postseason again this year.
Back in February, the two teams faced off in Chicago, and the Bulls won 129-121.
Zach LaVine led the way with 36 points in 37 minutes.
