They have won only four games in their last 10 matches and are on a three-game losing streak. The Bulls have recently gotten back their young sophomore star from injury, Lauri Markkanen and he has been playing better basketball this season as well.

Markkanen has been playing well this season, averaging just under 18 points per game, along with more than 7 rebounds a game.

He has become a great defender this season, averaging almost a block and a steal this season. In the last game, a loss to the Indiana Pacers, he scored a huge 27 points per game, along with 9 rebounds and 2 assists, along with a steal. He will need to be playing at his best for the Bulls to overcome the Brooklyn Nets tomorrow.

Alternate pick: John Collins (Atlanta Hawks)
