Fred Hoiberg cleared the air that so far there will be no lineup changes against the Sixers on Monday night, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any changes on the way. Joakim Noah is working out with the starting lineup and could join his buddy Pau Gasol back in the starting front-court position.
Hoiberg said no lineup changes. But Noah worked with starters at shootaround. Mirotic played coy when asked if he’s coming off bench.

Mirotic has struggled the past three games as he shot 8-26 from the field. After coming off to a hot start to the season, Mirotic has now missed 12 of his last 13 three-pointers. The Bulls recently added Doug McDermott to the starting lineup which weakens the defense with Pau Gasol and Nikola Mirotic in the starting front-court. The addition of Noah would balance out the offense and defense.
