Zach LaVine (quad) now doubtful for Bulls versus Mavericks
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (left quad strain) is doubtful to play on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks, head coach Jim Boylen said.
LaVine was previously listed as probable, but it now looks like he's headed for his first absence of the season. Shaquille Harrison should see more usage and Coby White (back, probable) could draw a start. LaVine leads the Bulls with a 32.3 usage rate, so the entire rotation is in line for more work. Otto Porter (foot) will be limited to 16-to-20 minutes in his first game since November 6.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Bulls have the third-lowest implied total (109.25 points) on Monday's seven-game slate.
