The Chicago Bulls are hitting the road after a rough, one win in six home game stretch. Now they kick off a five-game Western conference trip lasting about two weeks, starting tonight against the Phoenix Suns. The Bulls sit at 25 wins and 37 losses, while the Suns are 35 and 26. The Suns have surprised everyone this season, building a solid team around star Devon Booker with top defenders and sharp shooters. They rank top 10 in defensive rating and make the sixth most three-pointers per game, making them a tough match-up for any opponent. Chicago has struggled badly against Phoenix historically, not winning there since March 2019. Fans are hoping this road trip brings some fresh energy, but the Bulls enter banged up and looking for a reset. Both teams are dealing with key injuries. For the Bulls, Matas Buzelis and Josh Gidey are out with ankle tweaks, joining a long list including Anthony Simons, Jayden Ivy, and others.
