Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) will play Friday against the Chicago Bulls. Oladipo missed the last two games with a sore knee, but will return to the court on Friday.

The Toronto Raptors will be without Fred Vanvleet (shoulder) and Marc Gasol (hamstring) on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Serge Ibaka (knee) will play and start Thursday against the Golden State Warriors.

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (knee) will not play Thursday against the Toronto Raptors.
