James Borrego mentioned JT Thor and Nick Richards as players they will probably have to count on tonight against the Bulls. Kai Jones has to be ready, too, he said. #Hornets are thin. pic.twitter.com/kkdRxltl52 – 6:35 PM

Billy Donovan said that Ayo Dosunmu was checked after 76ers game and was cleared medically. Started showing concussion symptoms the morning after the Suns’ game. He’s in league’s protocol until he clears all tests. – 6:07 PM

James Plowright @British_Buzz
Sounds like we can expect a lot of double teams tonight against the Bulls, also expect some zone, Borrego is wanting to mix it up to try and force DeRozan/LaVine/Vooch to be uncomfortable – 6:07 PM

Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls
Time to work in Charlotte! 💪

My NBA plays tonight:
1) Anthony Davis over 22.5 PTS (seems too easy)
2) Dejounte Murray under 39.5 PTS/REB/AST (I’ll regret this
3) @MBeller is taking over every prop/line in CHI-CHA – 5:27 PM

The Bucks, Bulls and Cavaliers are reportedly pursuing Dennis Schroder.
However, a recent report suggests that the Celtics may keep Schroder and find a different way to get under the luxury tax: basketballnews.com/stories/bucks-… – 5:19 PM

The Bulls don’t have a plethora of options ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline. But the front office has demonstrated a willingness to take big swings in a never-ending quest to improve the roster.

“Twenty-five years ago, the single-greatest collection of basketball talent ever assembled was brought together for NBA All-Star Weekend. And when the long evening of competition and pageantry finally ended, the spotlight was shining on Glen Rice.”

KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Coby White hasn’t landed in any rumors in advance of Thursday’s trade deadline. But he also represents one of the Bulls’ biggest assets.
Talked to White about this: “I think I’ll be here.”

Ayo Dosunmu has been taking part in the players’ group text, so players are under impression he’s doing OK. He entered the league’s concussion protocol on Tuesday. Billy Donovan will address his status in his pregame media session. – 1:40 PM
