Injury Report

Bradley Beal (ankle) and Alan Anderson (fibula) are still out for the Wizards while Kris Humphries (knee) and Nene (triceps) are questionable. It looks like Marcin Gortat's blood-squirting ear won't affect his ability to play on Monday.

UPDATE: But it appears Gortat's knee may cause some issues:

Nene said he’s going to “try” to play tonight + Gortat might not play because of a left knee injury. It’s really swollen. Hurt it in Orlando

For the Bulls, Mike Dunleavy (back) is out. Joakim Noah will play tonight.

Most Likely Wizards Killer

Bulls' rookie power forward Bobby Portis has been on a tear lately and his superb play have led many to speculate whether the Bulls might trade a big man or two at the trade deadline. He didn't play well in his last game, but in the six games before that - all wins for the Bulls - he averaged 10 points and eight rebounds per contest.

If Nene and Humphries can't go, Portis could take advantage of the smaller players at the 4-spot for the Wizards and gobble up rebounds while scoring with ease in the paint.
