Bobby Portis and Kris Dunn play in first game since injury

The Bulls finally are complete, or as close as they will be this season with Denzel Valentine out for the season.

So it's time to compete as Kris Dunn and Bobby Portis, both coming off the bench Monday against the Sacramento Kings, joined Lauri Markkanen in the lineup. Dunn and Portis came off the bench Monday with temporary playing time limitations.

"The team is excited, I'm excited," Bulls coach Jim Boylen said before Monday's game. "It's a great day for them. It's been a difficult process for everybody, but they battled through. I'm proud of them and it's an exciting opportunity at home.
