The Chicago Bulls head to Washington on Tuesday night looking to snap a skid, but they'll have to navigate a lengthy injury report to do it. Facing the struggling Wizards, the Bulls aim to bounce back from a Sunday loss, but their rotation will be tested with several key names sidelined.

Headlining the Bulls' injury list are guard Josh Giddey and rookie forward Matas Buzelis. Giddey has been ruled out for a second straight game due to left hamstring strain management. His absence will likely mean increased playmaking responsibilities for Tre Jones and Collin Sexton, the latter listed as probable with a finger injury.

Buzelis will also miss his second consecutive contest, ruled out due to an illness. His absence opens the door for forwards like Leonard Miller and Patrick Williams to see expanded minutes and make a greater impact on both ends of the floor.

The Bulls' injury woes extend deeper, with Anfernee Simons (fractured wrist) and Nick Richards (elbow sprain) also ruled out. Furthermore, Zach Collins, Noa Essengue, and Jalen Smith are all out for the remainder of the season. The lone bit of positive news is rookie Lachlan Olbrich, listed as probable and expected to play through a foot issue.

Tip-off for this Eastern Conference matchup at Capital One Arena is set for 8:00 p.m. ET. With the playoffs out of reach, this game becomes a crucial opportunity for Chicago's remaining healthy players to develop chemistry and showcase their skills for the future.
