"According to a recent NBA injury report, Chicago will be missing a boatload of players against Miami on Saturday. Usual suspects Zach Collins, Tre Jones, and non-rotation rookie Noa Essengue remain shelved, of course. But joining them will be Josh Giddey (left hamstring injury management) and Jalen Smith (right calf tightness). It's worth noting that the Bulls have gone 0-7 in the games Smith sits, and did drop Thursday's Heat bout when Smith left for good prior to the second half."
"So head coach Billy Donovan is about to get creative with his starting lineup choices. Barring him going mega-small ball at center with Patrick Williams or Julian Phillips, I think he may give a certain rookie a spin there to start. Game Lines The Heat are somehow just a 6.5-point favorite against the depleted Bulls, in Miami, at DraftKings Sportsbook.

Chicago will be missing multiple rotation players Saturday, including Zach Collins, Tre Jones, Noa Essengue, Josh Giddey (left hamstring), Jalen Smith (right calf), Coby White (right calf, doubtful), and Nikola Vucevic (rest, doubtful). The Bulls have gone 0-7 in games when Jalen Smith sits, and Smith’s absence coincided with a recent loss to Miami. Head coach Billy Donovan must adjust starting lineups and may deploy a rookie or play mega-small with Patrick Williams or Julian Phillips at center. Miami enters as approximately a 6.5-point favorite against the depleted Bulls. Ayo Dosunmu produced a strong late fourth-quarter showing in the prior meeting.
