The Chicago Bulls (16-20) visit the Cleveland Cavaliers (23-14) tonight, looking to avoid their second straight loss—they fell to the Cavs 103-102 on Saturday.

Lonzo Ball is still out for Chicago; Alex Caruso (right AC joint sprain) and Derrick Jones Jr. (left ankle sprain) are probable; Javonte Green (right knee soreness) is questionable; Tony Bradley (personal reasons) is listed as doubtful for tonight's game.

Chicago Bulls starting lineup:

C: Nikola Vucevic

PF: Patrick Williams

SF: DeMar DeRozan

SG: Zach LaVine

PG: Ayo Dosunmu

Caruso and Jones Jr. probable vs. Cleveland

Alex Caruso played 25 minutes off the bench against the Cavaliers on Saturday; he finished with four points, four rebounds, three assists, and two steals. If Caruso plays on Monday, he should have a similar role. If he’s out, Ayo Dosunmu, Coby White, and Goran Dragic could see increased minutes.

Derrick Jones Jr. was cleared to return on Saturday after a five-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. However, the 25-year-old didn't see a single minute on the floor.

Derrick Jones Jr. (ankle) will play, Billy Donovan says. Goran Dragic (rest) is out.

With Jones Jr. and Green possibly out tonight, Billy Donovan might continue giving more minutes to Andre Drummond, after the big man finished Saturday's game with two points, one rebound, and one block in 13 minutes.

Will Green and Bradley play against the Cavaliers?

Javonte Green had a solid game on Saturday, with 12 points, three rebounds, and two blocks in 16 minutes. The 29-year-old forward has played through a knee injury the last few games, and if he’s available, he will provide a massive boost off the bench on Monday.

Tony Bradley hasn’t played since December 18 and hasn’t made an impact this season, averaging 1.3 points and 1.1 rebounds in 2.8 minutes over nine games.
