DeMar DeRozan headlines the starting lineup of the Chicago Bulls in the home game vs the Lakers on Sunday night.
The Bulls return to action after one week. The NBA postponed the last two games of Chicago, due to the Health and Safety protocols.
The team still has six players in the protocols, yet DeMar DeRozan is active and joins Lonzo Ball, Nikola Vucevic, Alex Caruso and Javonte Green as a starter.
For his part, Isaiah Thomas will be in the starting lineup of the Lakers. This will be the first start for the veteran guard, who will make his second appearance with the Lakers. Isaiah Thomas went for 19 points in 22 minutes in the loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday (92-110).
Thomas is under a 10-day contract with the 17-time NBA champions, who are in the midst of a Covid-19 outbreak. The Lakers will be without eight players on Sunday, with seven of them being in the NBA protocols. On the other hand, Trevor Ariza will make his season debut with the team.
