The Bulls visit North Texas to take on the Dallas Mavericks this evening for the first time this season. In their last game, Chicago came up on the losing side against Boston, 111-104, Saturday at the United Center. Zach LaVine led the Bulls with a game-high 35 points and four steals while Wendell Carter Jr. posted his third consecutive double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds. Forward Lauri Markkanen notched 15 points before having to leave the game with a badly sprained ankle during the final stanza.
The disappointing loss to the Celtics pushed Chicago's record to 13-23 on the season and marked the Bulls third straight defeat and fourth in their last five games.
