Bulls Injury Report: Joakim Noah (shoulder) had successful surgery on Tuesday and is out. Kirk Hinrich (quad) is out for the Bull's games against the Celtics and Cavaliers. Jimmy Butler (illness) is probable for tonight's game.
Celtics Injury Report: No listed injuries.
The Chicago Bulls will be working over their communication problems in tonight's game. After the loss to the Warriors, "Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler bemoaned the lack of communication on defense." Even with the increased focus on team interaction, it's going to be an uphill battle. With key players out or struggling with illness, it'll take a lot of effort for the Bulls to win tonight. If Jimmy Butler is unable to play, it will be unlikely that the Bulls can come out ahead.
The Boston Celtics, while not struggling with injuries right now, face their own set of challenges with defense. As one writer notes, "The Celtics still have a poor defensive rating with small ball lineups involving Johnson, but their offense is ridiculous, which offsets any dip on the defensive end. The offense could be more explosive because of Johnson's rim-running presence in the pick-and-roll and in transition." The Celtics will certainly need to focus on the offensive aspects of play as the Bulls have struggled defensively the last few games.
