For the Bulls, Lonzo Ball, Onuralp Bitim, Justin Lewis, Adama Sanogo, and Dalen Terry are currently listed as out. Ball is injured while the other four are in the G League. Zach LaVine is probable with back spasms.
Key Matchup
Bruce Brown vs DeMar DeRozan: The Pacers brought in Brown during the offseason to stop players like DeRozan. The Bulls star is avaging 24.3 points per game this year so far.
Brown will try to limit that number. He had 24 points in Indiana's opening night win, so if he can have a strong offensive impact and slow DeRozan, the Pacers will have a great chance to win.
