Dosunmu Steps Up for Injury-Hit Bulls
1 Jan
Summary
- Bulls face Pelicans with key guards Coby White and Josh Giddey sidelined.
- New Orleans' size advantage has been a consistent problem for Chicago.
- Ayo Dosunmu is expected to carry a significant offensive load for the Bulls.
The Chicago Bulls will host the New Orleans Pelicans tonight, facing significant challenges due to key player absences. The Bulls are currently without their leading scorers, Coby White and Josh Giddey, both sidelined with injuries that have kept them out for multiple weeks. Zach Collins also remains unavailable due to a toe injury.
Historically, the Pelicans have exploited Chicago's weaknesses, particularly their struggles with interior size and turnovers, which has led to their two wins against the Bulls this season. New Orleans relies heavily on points in the paint and capitalizing on opponent mistakes.
With White and Giddey out, Ayo Dosunmu is expected to shoulder a substantial offensive burden for the Bulls. He will need to leverage the Pelicans' known issues with allowing fastbreak points, aiming to maintain Chicago's aggressive pace despite the depleted roster.
