The last time the Portland Trail Blazers played the Chicago Bulls, they won on the strength of a 22-point performance from Damian Lillard. The Portland star won't be on the floor for the Blazers this time around after his recent abdominal surgery, but his team will try for a second win against one of the Eastern Conference's top teams at 3:30 p.m. ET at the United Center. Bulls guard Zach LaVine is back in the starting lineup after missing five games with a knee injury, and is coming off of a 30-point night against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday.
