Bulls eye road winning streak

The Bulls have dropped every game (0-3) so far on their seven-game road trip and own just a 1-5 mark as the guest this season. Head coach Scott Skiles will try to guide his club to a win with the Lakers, Nuggets, Sixers and Knicks as the remaining teams on the trek.

Skiles made adjustments to the squad before the trip and put star guard Ben Gordon on the bench. Gordon, who is logging 16.9 points per game, has averaged 25 points and shot 44.6 percent from the field since the switch. He is currently hampered with a sprained thumb, but should be ready on Sunday.

The Bulls are winless since Skiles made moves to the starting lineup, benching Gordon and veteran P.J. Brown for Chris Duhon and Andres Nocioni.

Chicago is only 3-6 this season and needs to start playing more cohesive basketball, especially with the offseason addition of center Ben Wallace. Wallace has been playing with an injured biceps, but still leads the team in rebounds (9.4), steals (1.8) and blocks (1.6).

Wallace, a four-time Defensive Player of the Year, should have an easy time throughout the rest of Chicago’s road trip against teams lacking the presence inside.
