Nikola Mirotic

Bulls' Nikola Mirotic (illness) will play Tuesday

Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic (illness) will suit up for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

What It Means:

Strep throat has sidelined Mirotic for four-straight games, and his return will likely push Bobby Portis back out of the rotation while also cutting into Doug McDermott's minutes.

Our models project Mirotic for 10.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 21.5 minutes in his return to action on Tuesday.
