Chicago returns to the United Center on Monday to face the struggling Memphis Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies are banged up as the regular season nears its end, and the Chicago Bulls will look to capitalize as they return home from the West Coast.
Memphis will be without eight players on Monday night due to injury, including three of the team's top four scorers this season. The Grizzlies are the No. 11 seed in the Western Conference and are currently on a seven-game losing streak, just one season after reaching the playoffs.
Chicago's season has similarly gone off the rails, though that has largely been the result of a trade deadline exodus, instead of injuries. Second-year forward Matas Buzelis has led the Bulls lately with several breakout performances.
On the team's recent five-game road trip on the West Coast, Buzelis scored a career-high 41 points against the Golden State Warriors. The 21-year-old is averaging 22.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.7 blocks per game in March.
Here's everything you need to know before the Bulls face the Grizzlies on Monday night.
