The Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons will face off Wednesday night at Little Caesars Arena with several key players listed as injured or questionable. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 PM ET.
Zach Collins is out for Chicago with a left scaphoid fracture, while Coby White is sidelined with a right calf strain. Josh Giddey remains questionable with a right ankle sprain.
Several Bulls two-way players will also be unavailable, including Noa Essengue, Trentyn Flowers, Emanuel Miller, and Lachlan Olbrich, all either on G League assignment or inactive.
Despite these absences, Chicago has relied on strong performances from Giddey, Nikola Vucevic, and Ayo Dosunmu through the first 10 games.
The Pistons are dealing with multiple injuries as well. Cade Cunningham is questionable with a left hip contusion, while Isaiah Stewart is doubtful due to a left ankle sprain. Jalen Duren is probable with a right ankle sprain, and Tobias Harris, Jaden Ivey, Marcus Sasser, and Ausar Thompson are all out with lower-body injuries.
Detroit has started the season 9-2, fueled by Cunningham’s scoring and Duren’s rebounding. The Pistons have won six consecutive games in November, including a 137-135 overtime victory over Washington on Monday. Injuries could test their depth against a Bulls squad that has struggled recently on the road, with a 1-3 record away from Chicago.
Chicago enters the matchup at 6-4 after losing three of their last four games, including a 117-121 defeat to San Antonio on Sunday. Vucevic has averaged 17.1 points and 10.3 rebounds in November, while Giddey is contributing 21.4 points, 9.6 assists, and 9.3 rebounds per game.
