DeMar DeRozan scored a game-high 26 points and Coby White followed with 24 to lead six players in double figures as the host Chicago Bulls cruised past the Houston Rockets 133–118 on Monday for their second victory in as many nights.

Severely short-handed amid a team-wide COVID-19 outbreak, the Bulls endured another loss when Alex Caruso left the game in the first half with a sprained left foot.
