The news

Wilson's scoring continues

Caleb Wilson recorded 30 points and 14 rebounds against Washington. He then led Chicago with 23 points in the latest Boston loss.

Turnovers and rebounds remain costly

Boston turned Chicago's 16 turnovers into 21 points in the latest game. Against New York, the Bulls allowed 23 second-chance points and 43 points in the fourth quarter.

Splitter keeps Williams outside rotation

Patrick Williams was available after his groin injury but was outside Tiago Splitter's rotation. Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis start at forward, while Isaac Okoro, Leonard Miller and Noa Essengue fill reserve roles.

Smith remains the starting center

Jalen Smith remains the starting center until Nic Claxton is cleared. Smith is probable with a finger sprain, while Claxton is doubtful with a hamstring strain. Tobe Awaka is also probable because of an ankle sprain.

The full read on the Bulls

Written Mon Nov 2, before the 76ers game.

Season so far

Chicago is 1-5: 0-2 at home and 1-3 on the road. The Bulls have lost four straight, with turnovers, defensive rebounding and long-range shooting featuring in the defeats. Their only win came at Milwaukee, 132-125.

The read

Chicago is 1-5, with a 0-2 home record and a 1-3 road mark. The Bulls arrive in Philadelphia after a 111-125 loss at Boston. Ball security and defensive rebounding have been recurring problems. Boston scored 21 points from Chicago’s 16 turnovers in the latest game, while New York collected 23 second-chance points in the previous loss.

Caleb Wilson has supplied scoring and rebounding at forward. He had 30 points and 14 rebounds against Washington and led Chicago with 23 points in the latest Boston game. Norman Powell scored 30 against New York after signing in the offseason. Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis and Jalen Smith complete the established starting group.

Tiago Splitter is leading a changed roster under basketball operations chief Bryson Graham. Patrick Williams was available after a groin injury but remained outside the rotation. Wilson and Buzelis occupy the starting forward roles, with Isaac Okoro, Leonard Miller and Noa Essengue among the alternatives. Buddy Hield arrived from Charlotte in the Rob Dillingham trade.

The center situation remains unsettled. Nic Claxton is doubtful with a hamstring strain, while Smith is probable with a finger sprain. Tobe Awaka is also probable with an ankle sprain. Chicago faces a 6-1 Philadelphia team whose own center, Joel Embiid, is questionable.
