One win, one loss, that’s the record for the Chicago Bulls in the month of March so far. After seven straight games at home, Chicago is heading out on the road: a five-game West Coast trip that tips off tonight against the Phoenix Suns.
The Suns are playoff hopefuls in the West and won’t be an easy matchup for Chicago. In a league filled with tanking teams, Phoenix is looking to grab a win tonight, while the Bulls are still battling for better lottery odds.
A win is a win. But a loss might be the bigger win.

SGA-Less Thunder Hand Chicago Their 1st Loss in March: Thunder 116, Bulls 108 – March 3, 2026What to Watch For
The Chicago Bulls will start their Western Conference road trip with the Phoenix Suns tonight. Chicago will be extremely shorthanded, with six important rotational players out and two questionable. The two on the questionable end are Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey. Both picked up ankle sprains in the third quarter of their loss against the OKC Thunder. Giddey returned to the game, but Matas did not. However, both of them felt the injuries wouldn’t sideline them for long. Without Giddey and Matas at 100%, Chicago could be missing their two best players and will definitely be fighting an uphill battle tonight.Matas Buzelis exited to the locker room following an injury in the 3rd quarter vs. the Thunder pic.twitter.com/snvj4UXzbG
— Bulls on CHSN (@CHSN_Bulls) March 4, 2026 This will be the first time the Bulls play the Phoenix Suns this season, and the roster looks a lot different than it did last year. No Kevin Durant, no Bradley Beal, and no bad vibes. The Suns are currently sitting as the seventh seed in the West, fighting to climb out of the play-in and into the playoffs, while boasting the tenth-best defense in the NBA. For the Chicago Bulls to have a chance to win, they’ll need to outscore and out-rebound them. Those are the two areas where the Phoenix Suns are lacking the most. Another key will be forcing them to pass the ball to generate shots, another weakness in their offense. The Suns are a lot better than they were last season, but that doesn’t make them unbeatable. Phoenix will be without Mark Williams tonight. Despite being labeled as an injury-prone big man, the one who famously failed his physical for the Lakers, he’s been a different animal this season. He’s played a career-high number of games and has been such a solid starter for the Suns that it hasn’t opened many minutes for their top-ten pick, Khaman Maluach, and even allowed them the freedom to trade Nick Richards to the Bulls.Mark Williams (foot) to miss at least 2-3 weeks.
— Underdog NBA (@UnderdogNBA) March 5, 2026 Without Mark, the Suns will probably start Oso Ighodaro, who has been just as impressive this season. In his last game against the Sacramento Kings, Oso put up a stat line of 14 points and 14 rebounds — eight of them offensive — all off the bench. If he’s in the starting lineup tonight, the Bulls will have their hands full on the glassOso Ighodaro last night:☄️ 14 PTS☄️ 14 REB (Career High)☄️ 3 AST☄️ 70% FG%@PayPal | #SunsUp pic.twitter.com/es9dE3xfpQ
