(670 The Score) The Bulls will be without two starters when they host the Bucks on Monday evening.
Point guard Kris Dunn and forward Otto Porter Jr. have both been ruled out, coach Jim Boylen said pregame. Dunn is suffering from a migraine, while Porter is sidelined by a left leg strain that he suffered in a win against the Celtics on Saturday.
Ryan Arcidiacono will start at point guard, while Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot will start on the wing. Arcidiacono played the entire fourth quarter in Dunn's place Saturday.
Boylen called Dunn's migraine "severe." He was expected to arrive at the United Center closer to tip off Monday, after rush-hour traffic cleared, and then meet the team's doctors.
The Bulls had an inkling something was amiss with Dunn when he wasn't one of the first players to show up for breakfast ahead of shootaround Monday morning, Boylen said. He has suffered from migraines before.
"It was concerning for all of us," Boylen said.
Porter's leg strain hasn't been deemed serious, though he's still sore. Boylen was hopeful that both Dunn and Porter would travel with the team Tuesday ahead of its game at Memphis on Wednesday night.
Dunn is averaging 11.4 points and 6.3 assists. Porter has averaged 17.8 points and 5.2 rebounds in six games for the Bulls since being acquired from the Wizards a day before the trade deadline.
Wing Antonio Blakeney will likely re-enter the rotation with Porter out, Boylen said.
