Projected starting lineups

The Magic have several injuries to their roster, including their leading scorer Evan Fournier, who is averaging 17 points in 36 games played this year. Fournier has missed Orlando’s last five games due to a sore right heel and foot.

According to Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel, Magic coach Frank Vogel said Fournier did not practice on Monday. With that said, Vogel will go with the veteran and former Bull C.J. Watson at shooting guard.

Here’s a look at the projected starting lineups for tonight’s contest:

Orlando Magic

PG: Elfrid Payton

SG: C.J Watson

SF: Aaron Gordon

PF: Serge Ibaka

C: Nikola Vucevic

The Bulls announced Dwyane Wade should be available Tuesday night in Orlando. Everyone will be ready to go, as the Bulls are currently injury-free.

Chicago Bulls

PG: Michael Carter-Williams

SG: Dwyane Wade

SF: Jimmy Butler

PF: Taj Gibson

C: Robin Lopez

Prediction

Chicago needs to get off to a fast start, and not play with down to their competition. Their weakness all season has been playing on even playing levels as their opponent, which has been more bad than good thus far.

Knowing the track record of Orlando at home, and the Bulls coming in with everyone on their roster available to play, I am going with the Bulls winning on the road 101-94.

Gulp.
