Welcome to the starting lineup, Nikola Mirotic. The erratic power forward has gone from completely out of the rotation back into the rotation and now he’s back into the starting lineup. It was his third start of the season, a year in which the restricted free agent currently has more DNP-CDs.
Joining Mirotic in the starting lineup for Chicago was Paul Zipser, Rajon Rondo, Jimmy Butler and Robin Lopez. With no Dwyane Wade, maybe Zipser will get some excellent run, but it didn’t look good early. Where do we start?
Rudy Gobert needed less than a minute to get his first block of the game.
