Bulls vs. Pelicans preview and thread: no DeRozan for road matchup

Your Chicago Bulls head to New Orleans to face off against a competitive Pelicans club tonight.

Chicago is looking to rebound from an abysmal 126-98 loss to the Bucks on Tuesday and and what has been an up-and-down week so far. With a 42-30 record on the season, the fifth-seeded Bulls are currently just two games ahead of the seventh-seeded Raptors as they look to avoid a fall into the play-in tournament this year.

A major deterrent to a Chicago win tonight will be the absence of the Bulls’ best player DeMar DeRozan, ruled out with a left adductor strain.
