Injuries, rebounding will matter as Pels go for third straight vs. Bulls

Things were starting look up for the Chicago Bulls and the New Orleans Pelicans.

But both teams have hit hard times in recent days leading up to their meeting Wednesday night in Chicago.

The Bulls (15-17) had won five straight games before losing their last two. Of greater concern are the injuries that happened Monday night.

Guards Coby White and Josh Giddey, the team's top two scorers, were both injured during the first half of a 136-101 home loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
