On Thursday evening, the Chicago Bulls will host the Minnesota Timberwolves at the United Center.

For the game, the Bulls will likely be without their best player, as Zach LaVine is on the injury report.

LaVine has missed the team's last two games, so this would be his third straight out of the starting lineup (if he doesn't play).

Via Alan Horton: "Zach LaVine -- who's missed CHI's last 2 games with a right adductor strain -- is listed as DOUBTFUL tonight vs. MIN.

Lonzo Ball (right wrist) remains OUT, Jalen Smith (left knee effusion) is PROBABLE."
