The Washington Wizards take on the Chicago Bulls at United Center on Saturday night.

The Wizards (11-55) recently put together a rare-for-them two-game winning streak, but they've unsurprisingly followed that up with back-to-back losses. Their most recent stumble came Thursday night, when they were toppled by the Houston Rockets, 135-119. Jordan Poole led the Wizards with 25 points, adding two assists, one rebound and two steals. Deni Avdija furnished 24 points, nine boards, five assists and three steals. Kyle Kuzma supplied 23 points, three rebounds, three assists and two steals. Tyus Jones compiled 13 points, eight assists and one rebound. Corey Kispert registered 11 points, two rebounds, two assists and one steal. Bilal Coulibaly totaled 10 points, four assists, three rebounds and two steals.

The Wizards will remain without Marvin Bagley (back), Landry Shamet (calf) and Tristan Vukcevic (recent acquisition) for Saturday's game. Tyus Jones (back) will carry a doubtful tag, while Richaun Holmes (toe) and Deni Avdija (knee) will be listed as questionable.

The Bulls (32-35) continue to find consistency elusive as they try to keep themselves in the conversation for the Play-in Tournament, and they'll enter Saturday's game with three losses in the last four games. Their most recent stumble came Thursday night when they fell to the Los Angeles Clippers by a 126-111 score. DeMar DeRozan led the Bulls with 21 points, adding five rebounds and four assists. Nikola Vucevic furnished 19 points, six boards and five assists. Alex Caruso finished with 17 points, six assists, three rebounds and three steals. Andre Drummond supplied 15 points, seven rebounds, one assist and one block. Torrey Craig and Jevon Carter produced matching 12-point contributions while pulling down six and three rebounds, respectively.

The Bulls will remain without Julian Phillips (foot) for Saturday's game. Coby White (hip) will carry a doubtful tag.

Saturday's game marks the first of three meetings between the teams this season. Washington and Chicago split the four-game 2022-23 regular-season series.
