Kristaps Porzingis hopes he’s in lineup to stay as Warriors prepare for Bulls

Golden State Warriors home fans are expected to get a second look at new big man Kristaps Porzingis when the club opens a two-game homestand Tuesday night against the Chicago Bulls in San Francisco.

Acquired on Feb. 5 from the Atlanta Hawks for Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield, Porzingis has played just twice in Golden State's 12 games since the trade while dealing with lingering Achilles issues and an illness.

Porzingis made his Warriors debut at home on Feb. 19 against one of his former teams, the Boston Celtics.
