Zach LaVine popped up on the injury report as probable on Sunday ahead of Bulls-Trail Blazers with a knee injury.

The sinking Bulls season doesn't have much going on these days, but LaVine remains the exception. Not only what he's been doing on the court, but off of it. Now, if only the Bulls could get other teams to understand what an asset he could be for a playoff contender.

Even against one of the worst defensive teams in the league, the Chicago Bulls couldn’t kickstart their offense in a 113-102 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.

Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups got back two key players, lost one, tweaked the starting lineup and then attempted to snap a five-game losing streak and avoid going 0-5 on their current home stand. The Blazers found the right formula, showed improvement on defense and generated enough offense to win 113-102 at the Moda Center.

LaVine was deemed probable, so his availability Sunday isn't entirely surprising. He should handle a heavy workload on offense and will aim to maintain his solid stretch of play. He's averaging 28.8 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game since the beginning of January.
