Clippers and Bulls Tangle in Windy City
The Los Angeles Clippers take on the Chicago Bulls at United Center on Saturday night.

The Clippers (20-7) continue to roll along, as they'll enter Saturday's game with four straight wins, and six of their last seven overall. Their most recent success came at the expense of the Minnesota Timberwolves, which they outlasted by a 124-117 score Friday night. Paul George led the way with 46 points, adding seven assists, five rebounds and two steals. Kawhi Leonard followed with 42 points, supplementing them with 11 rebounds and two assists Montrezl Harrell was the only other double-digit scorer, posting 18 points and adding four rebounds off the bench.

The Clippers are likely to be without Patrick Beverley (concussion), Lou Williams (calf), Landry Shamet (ankle) and JaMychal Green (back) for Saturday's game after all missed Friday's contest.

The Bulls (9-18) have had a much rougher go of it than their opponent this season, and they'll enter Saturday's contest having dropped four of their last five games. Chicago's most recent stumble came versus the Charlotte Hornets, which toppled them by an 83-73 score Friday night. Zach LaVine and Ryan Arcidiacono led the way with matching 12-point tallies, with LaVine adding eight rebounds. Lauri Markkanen and Thaddeus Young followed with 10 points apiece while pulling down four and five rebounds, respectively. Wendell Carter, Jr. mustered just six points but also hauled in 11 rebounds.

The Bulls will likely list Chandler Hutchison (shoulder) as questionable at best for Saturday's game, while Otto Porter, Jr. (foot) and Cristiano Felicio (wrist) will remain out.

Friday's game marks the first of two meetings between the teams this season. The Clippers swept the two-game 2018-19 season series from the Bulls.
