Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic (back) is expected to play on Thursday versus the Boston Celtics.
Mirotic has missed the last two games, but the Bulls probably want to put him on display for any potential trade suitors before the break. Doug McDermott will see less minutes with Mirotic back and there's a chance Bobby Portis could wind up out of the rotation.
numberFire's models expect Mirotic to score 6.1 points and corral 3.6 rebounds in 15.4 minutes against the Celtics.
