Storyline: The Magic are making a quick stop in Chicago before returning to Orlando for a four-game home-stand to close out the calendar year. The Magic defeated the Bulls just over a week ago in Mexico City, 97-91. Zach LaVine, who scored 23 points in that contest (and leads the Bulls in scoring, 23.8 points per game), suffered an ankle injury and is expected to miss two-to-four weeks.
