While the injury of All-Star Carlos Boozer already was a significant setback, things might get even more difficult for the Bulls due to their tough schedule early in the season. More precisely, Chicago will go on a difficult seven game west coast road trip in the first month of play and is therefore highly motivated to take advantage of their homestand beforehand. Thus, Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls will host Brandon Roy and the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday at midnight GMT.

In contrast, the Blazers got off to an excellent start as the team around Brandon Roy started this year's NBA campaign with a victory over the Phoenix Suns on opening night before steamrolling the Los Angeles Clippers one day later. Especially the defensive energy of coach Nate McMillan squad was remarkable and could be a key factor for Portland's success in 2010-11. Therefore, the Blazers might have a slight advantage over the shorthanded Bulls on Tuesday night.
