Things to Keep in Mind …

  • The injury bug has bitten Lauri Markkanen.
  • The Sacramento Kings have lost to the Bulls once already this season, but that was thanks to a pretty big performance from Markkanen (20 points, 7 rebounds). Still, the Kings have lost six-straight games, and the Bulls have a good opportunity to grab a second-straight win.
  • Denzel Valentine might finally get some playing time:
