Miller is probable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors with a right adductor strain.

This is a new injury for Miller, though it sounds minor. The Bulls have quite a few injuries, so Miller could be in the mix for a rotation spot after a strong showing in the preseason.

Okoro (knee) is probable for Wednesday's season opener against Toronto.

Okoro had his reps managed in the preseason but is expected to play Wednesday. He could see a couple of extra minutes in Dailyn Swain's (illness) expected absence.

Swain (illness) is officially doubtful for Wednesday's season opener in Toronto.

Swain wasn't expected to travel with the team, but the Bulls are at least leaving the door slightly open for Wednesday. Isaac Okoro (knee) and Patrick Williams should ultimately pick up a few extra minutes off the bench.

Collins (toe) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Collins has been able to practice for Chicago for the past couple days after missing the entire preseason. He said Monday he was hopeful to play in the season opener, and the probable tag is a good sign. He's penciled in to back up Jalen Smith with Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) sidelined.

Awaka (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Awaka remains day-to-day with his knee sprain. With Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) sidelined to open the season, Awaka could be in the mix at the edge of the rotation.

Walsh is starting Tuesday's season opener against the Pistons, per Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston.

This was the expectation after Walsh worked with Boston's other members of the first unit throughout the preseason. He's getting the first crack as a starter in favor of Hugo Gonzalez and Baylor Scheierman.

Queta will come off the bench for Tuesday's season opener against Detroit, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Mitchell Robinson has officially won the starting job at center, though this position battle will be one to watch. Given Robinson's durability concerns, this could become a timeshare at the center spot.

Cenac is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's season opener against Detroit, per Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston.

This is an expected shift in role after Cenac started Boston's preseason finale. With the Celtics' frontcourt healthy, the rookie big man is not likely to see meaningful playing time.

Robinson will open the season as the starting center Tuesday against Detroit, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Robinson was considered the favorite to start, and he officially wins the job for the season opener. He's had trouble staying healthy in the past, so it will be interesting to see how the minutes are divvied up between him and Neemias Queta.

Bittle (foot) is out for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bulls.

Bittle, who just landed a two-way deal with Toronto, continues to recover from a foot fracture. The rookie big man didn't appear in the preseason and has no timetable for a return to the floor.
