Bulls lead 28-23 after the first quarter in Washington.
Vooch eating early with 15 points and Coby White gives a boost off the bench with a last-minute 3-pointer to end the quarter.
Patrick Williams upping his aggression in a strong finish through contact. – 7:37 PM

Brogdon, Bitadze, Jackson and Washington Jr. are all questionable to play Wednesday against the Nuggets. Duarte is out.

It’s 28-23 Bulls after one. The Wizards have 5 TOs and are 1-7 3PT, while the Bulls have 18 PITP already led by Nikola Vucevic, who has 15 pts overall. – 7:36 PM

End of Q1
* Vucevic leads all scorers with 15 – 7:35 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
I did not expect to see Ish Smith stuff the mess out of DeMar DeRozan’s mid-range jumper tonight
But that’s why you play the game – 7:34 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Billy Donovan made clear pregame Patrick Williams can earn more minutes by playing with more force. After an awkward start to his first-quarter stint, he pried an offensive rebound from a smaller Wizards defender, and just had a strong drive and and-1 finish – 7:34 PM

Keep cooking, big man. Vucevic checks out having scored 15 points in the 1st quarter. pic.twitter.com/yzW6z0bsTL7:32 PM

Chuck Swirsky @ctsbulls
Vooch with 15 of Bulls 20 points- Bulls 20-17 2:58 left 1st – 7:29 PM
Darnell Mayberry @DarnellMayberry
Nikola Vučević has 15 of the Bulls’ first 20 points with three minutes left to play in the first quarter. – 7:28 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Nikola Vucevic has 15 points in the first nine minutes of this one. 12 in the paint, where the Wizards have no answer for him, and a 3-pointer that rimmed in – 7:27 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Vucevic already into double figures in 1st quarter. This has happened before and Bulls sometimes forget him as game progresses. It’s not even that he always needs to get shots but at least touches to serve as connecting piece. He’s an adept passer. – 7:26 PM
Washington Wizards @WashWizards
What a find!

That is all. – 7:21 PM

Patrick Williams getting 1st quarter run. Had checked in at start of 2nd quarter last two games. – 7:21 PM

Quinton Mayo @RealQuintonMayo
That’s a DIME from Tomas Satoransky. My goodness. – 7:18 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Rui Hachimura has now made 43 of his 92 three-point attempts this season (46.7 percent). – 7:15 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Nikola Vucevic is on track for 144 points with 9 points in the first 3 minutes against the Wizards – 7:15 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Opening possession for the Bulls previews what should be a very fun matchup between Vučević vs. Porziņģis.
Vooch gets blocked, then digs in to get the basket on his second attempt at the hook. That will be a battle down low for both players tonight. – 7:14 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
#Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has passed Washington HOFer Wes Unseld for No. 86 the defensive rebounds list. – 7:13 PM

Kyle Kuzma will not play tonight and is not expected to tomorrow either which would mean 7 games missed with right knee tendinitis
He worked up a pretty good sweat going through his usual pre-game warmup routine prior to Wizards-Bulls – 6:25 PM

Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Billy Donovan won’t just be giving minutes to Patrick Williams. Thinks young players have to earn minutes. Williams has not done that with his play so far. – 5:35 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Zach LaVine is available vs. Wizards, Billy Donovan says. Had been questionable. Seems like that’s status quo on back to backs as he manages knee – 5:33 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Zach LaVine is in vs. Wizards, per Billy Donovan. – 5:32 PM
Christos Tsaltas @Tsaltas46
Wes Unseld jr said ti’s not surprise for him Anthony Gill’s presence on the floor and he added Gill put extra hours in after practise. Unseld jr praised his professionalism in the team. #DCAboveAll5:32 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Everyone can take a deep breath – Zach LaVine and his ornery left knee WILL play tonight in DC. – 5:31 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Kyle Kuzma, who will not play tonight against Chicago due to right-knee tendinitis, is not expected to play Wednesday night against Orlando, Wes Unseld Jr. said. – 5:28 PM
Ava Wallace @avarwallace
There’s a good chance that Kyle Kuzma won’t be available tomorrow against Orlando, as well. He’s out tonight vs. the Bulls with knee tendinitis. – 5:28 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Wes Unseld Jr. says he does not expect Kyle Kuzma to play tomorrow. It would be his 7th straight game missed due to right knee tendinitis. – 5:27 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
The Wizards’ starters tonight against the Bulls: Tomas Satoransky, Corey Kispert, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Rui Hachimura and Kristaps Porzingis. – 5:26 PM

Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
From books to hours of film, Patrick Williams told me he spent recovery sharpening his mentality.
But after taking zero shots in last night’s loss, the Bulls need that intensity to translate to the court.
“That’s on me,” Williams said. “I can be better.” chicagotribune.com/sports/bulls/c…4:24 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
Wendell Carter Jr.’s listed as out for tomorrow vs. the Wizards because of his sprained left wrist.
Will be Carter’s third absence in four games because of the injury. – 4:19 PM
Golden State Warriors PR @WarriorsPR
Six years ago today, the Warriors won their 54th consecutive regular-season home game (36-straight to begin 2015-16, 18-straight to end 2014-15), setting the NBA record for most consecutive regular-season home wins, with a 102-94 victory over the Wizards. pic.twitter.com/K55tKOllNn4:17 PM
