Wizards 33, Heat-ish 31 after one. Strus with eight, Orlando (Not Duncan) Robinson with six (he plays for the Heat. No, really). – 7:34 PM

Slow paced inside
Good footwork

Billy Donovan calls on DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vučević to set the tone and be the aggressors for the Bulls regarding their slow starts.

Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Amid 10+ min line of questioning in which he placed responsibility for Bulls’ slow starts on DeRozan, LaVine and Vucevic, here is Billy Donovan’s answer on how that trio needs to set tone
Donovan has confidence. But: “They’ve gotta raise the level of everybody else around them.” pic.twitter.com/FZeL7p3xGV6:46 PM

Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Lonzo Ball update … he’s doing more …. but no running or anything like that … and no timetable offered up … after reading this it’s not much of an update after all. – 6:38 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
No big, official Lonzo Ball update but Donovan did say “it’s going slow but he’s doing more and doing more and doing more. He’s obviously still not running but he’s doing different things he couldn’t do before. Until he’s running or cutting or jumping, I don’t know how far away.” – 6:37 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Billy Donovan also went long on the Bulls’ slow starts, laying pressure directly on Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vučević to step up.
He wants more physicality and drive from the trio — on offense and on defense — and directed blame for the losses away from Pat and Ayo. – 6:36 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Billy Donovan, asked Bulls’ slow starts: “I’ve got a lot of respect on a lot of levels for Vooch and DeMar and Zach, of who they are as players. We’re never gonna be as good as we can be as a team until, in my opinion, those three guys drive the opening part of the game.” – 6:35 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
No changes to Bulls starting lineup. Message from Billy Donovan and AK is to stay the course. Big Three have to start games like a Big Three. – 6:34 PM

The @Orlando Magic will start Jalen Suggs, Franz Wagner, Chuma Okeke, Bol Bol and Wendell Carter Jr. against the @Chicago Bulls tonight. – 6:33 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Billy Donovan provided a small Lonzo Ball update pregame tonight: he’s not running, jumping or cutting yet, but is able to do “things he couldn’t do before.”
Still no timeline on his return to running or to practice. – 6:33 PM
Orlando Magic @OrlandoMagic

All of tonight’s Heat.
Starters:
Nikola Jovic
Caleb Martin
Haywood Highsmith
Max Strus
Kyle Lowry
Reserves:
Orlando Robinson
Jamal Cain
(Both also known as the Heat two-way guys.)
Gabe Vincent will dress to meet NBA requirement of at least eight in uniform. – 6:32 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
While saying it’s a group effort and the coaching staff has responsibility too, Billy Donovan said the Big 3 (my words) of DeRozan, LaVine and Vucevic are the ones who need to “drive” the Bulls out of the ruts of slow starts. Offensively and defensively. – 6:25 PM
Darnell Mayberry @DarnellMayberry
Coby White and Patrick Williams are both in the lineup tonight, Bulls coach Billy Donovan said.
White is rejoining the lineup after an eight-game absence due to a quad injury. The Bulls sorely need his shooting. – 6:17 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Coby White won’t play more than 20 minutes in return from quad contusion, Billy Donovan says – 6:16 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Available Miami Heat players tonight:
Jamal Cain
Haywood Highsmith
Nikola Jovic
Kyle Lowry
Caleb Martin
Orlando Robinson
Max Strus
That’s it. Those are the seven. Gabe Vincent will also be active, but he will not play tonight. Just active to reach the 8-man minimum to play. – 6:08 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
So the only available players for the Heat tonight are Max Strus, Caleb Martin, Nikola Jovic, Haywood Highsmith, Kyle Lowry, Orlando Robinson, and Jamal Cain. – 6:05 PM
