Trail Blazers vs Bulls Prediction
The Bulls have ruled out Zach Collins, and they have Tre Jones listed as questionable, while the Trail Blazers have ruled out Scoot Henderson, Jrue Holiday and Blake Wesley with Jerami Grant listed as questionable. The Bulls haven’t been at their best as they’ve been dealing with injuries, but they’re starting to get some key pieces back on the court.
This has already led to a win over the Nuggets in a big upset on Monday. The Trail Blazers need a win to steady their season, but with the injuries they’ve had to deal with, I am leaning with the Bulls to get another win and cover in this one.
