Keys to the Game: Bulls at Mavericks (01.17.21)

The Bulls swing through Dallas this afternoon to tangle with the Mavericks and close the book on the season series in hopes of a sweep. Chicago won the first matchup two weeks ago, 118-108, at the United Center. Dallas was without All-Star, Luka Donu010diu0107, who was a last-minute scratch with a quad issue, as well as forward Kristaps Porzingas. But Chicago was also shorthanded that night, playing without starting forward Lauri Markkanen and top reserves Tomas Satoransky, Ryan Arcidiacono and Chandler Hutchison, each of whom were sidelined at the time due to the league's health and safety protocols. Markkanen and Arcidiacono are back in action this afternoon, as well as Donu010diu0107 and Porzingas, however Satoransky and Hutchison are still shelved for the time being.
