Nikola Vucevic made nice read and assisted Javonte Green’s 3 on opening possession but has missed two bunnies since. He struggled with those shots before his absence too. – 8:14 PM

Good spacing for Houston in the early minutes. Have been able to get to their drive-and-kick, pick-and-pop game with Christian Wood at the 5. – 8:14 PM

So in abbreviated 2011-12 season, the Charlotte Bobcats finished 7-59.the coach Paul Silas. On that team, DJ Augustin, Tyrus Thomas. The all time record for fewest wins: the 72-73 Sixers (9-73) Kevin Loughery took over 2nd half of season.Later coached the Bulls. I love NBA trivia – 7:55 PM

Like Donovan’s decision on lineup. Fits with Vooch back. Caruso likely remains in closing lineup, Altho should that be needed tonight? Tune in @NBCSChicago – 7:35 PM

Vučević will be on a minutes restriction for tonight’s Chicago Bulls game. Billy Donovan says balancing his minutes will be key tonight to help him rebuild fitness without letting him get cold or exhausting him. – 6:33 PM

Speaking from Houston via Zoom, Billy Donovan said Nikola Vucevic will be on a minutes restriction as he returns from missing 7 games in health and safety protocols. Vucevic will play “shorter stints” as he tries to regain game conditioning. – 6:32 PM

Billy Donovan says Nikola Vucevic will “definitely” be on a minutes restriction. Focus is on finding balance between easing him in but also ramping up conditioning – 6:32 PM

Rockets coach Stephen Silas on his impressions of the Bulls: “They are a problem. They turn you over, and that has been an issue for our group… What I like about them is their defense leads to offense.” – 6:25 PM

Dana Altman and Oregon digging themselves an early season hole that could be tough to dig out of. Getting crushed right now against Houston after losing to a pair of WCC teams: BYU and Saint Mary’s. No “bad” losses, but not what you expect from the Ducks. – 3:22 PM

Have enjoyed looking around @Shot_Quality. Looks like the Kings are the NBA’s ‘process but not results’ league leaders right now. Top-10 in shot quality and rim + 3s rate, but only 6-12 so far. Rockets and Thunder are 3rd and 4th in rim + 3s rate. – 2:59 PM
