The starting lineups for both teams have been announced by Underdog NBA.
Via Underdog NBA: "Lineup alert: Thunder will start Gilgeous-Alexander, Giddey, Dort, Jalen Williams, Holmgren on Wednesday."
Via Underdog NBA: "Lineup alert: Bulls will start White, LaVine, DeRozan, Williams, Vucevic on Wednesday."
The Thunder are coming off a year where they were the tenth seed in the Western Conference with a 40-42 record.
They beat the New Orleans Pelicans in their first play-in tournament game but lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second and missed the NBA playoffs for the third straight year.
This season, the Thunder will have a strong chance to finish as one of the top-eight teams in the Western Conference, as they have a lot of young talent and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has turned into a superstar.
Meanwhile, the Bulls had a very disappointing year in 2023.
They were the tenth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 40-42 record, and after beating the Toronto Raptors in their first play-in tournament game, they lost to the Miami Heat in the second.
That said, the Bulls have a very talented roster that is led by Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic.
