The Chicago Bulls are on the road on Monday night as they travel to take on the red-hot Oklahoma City Thunder.
Chicago enters Monday’s contest having won seven of their last 10 games but they are coming off a disappointing loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday.
They will now have another tough matchup as they face off against a Thunder team that is amid a nine-game winning streak as their incredible season continues.
Of course, Monday’s matchup is headlined by Josh Giddey’s first return to Oklahoma City since the Thunder traded him to the Bulls in the offseason for Alex Caruso, which has worked out well for both teams.
Unfortunately for the Bulls, Giddey may be sidelined on Monday as they have listed him as questionable due to right hip soreness.
Despite this, Giddey is expected to play on Monday and the Bulls will need him if they want to take down the Thunder on the road.
