Robin Lopez has scored in double-figures in each of the last six games, a season-long streak. Lopez scored a season-high 25 points against Memphis on Feb. 13 and has also scored 17 or more points in fourstraight contests, the longest streak of his career. With 20 or more points tonight, it will be the eighth-consecutive game for Lauri Markkanen, making him the fourth Bull in the last 10 season with a streak of eight games or more. Zach LaVine has dished out five or more assists in a career-long streak of six games. With five-plus assists tonight, he will tie the second-longest streak of such games by a Bull in the last two years.
Two things have to be weighing on the Bulls players mind going into this game, 56 pt loss, 29 pt loss.
Markkanen with the step back jumper 28-23 Bst. They are shooting 68% Bulls 42% yet getting some offensive rebounds
