The Chicago Bulls sit in 10th place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 38-42. The Bulls are two games behind the Toronto Raptors for ninth and four in front of the Indiana Pacers for 11th place, so they are locked in when it comes to the No. 10 seed. When the Bulls take on the Dallas Mavericks, who hold the 11th spot in the Western Conference, the question remains: Is DeMar DeRozan playing tonight vs. the Mavs?

DeMar DeRozan injury status vs. Mavs
DeMar DeRozan was initially listed as questionable on the NBA's injury report with the “rest” label, and he has since been ruled out alongside Zach LaVine and Patrick Beverley. Alex Caruso is questionable.
DeRozan, a six-time All-Star and a three-time member of an All-NBA team, is averaging 24.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game for the Bulls in the 2022-23 season. He scored a season-high 49 points in an eight-point win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in March, hitting 15 of his 25 shot attempts as he helped guide Chicago to a victory in the United Center.
DeMar DeRozan was last listed as inactive during a 124-96 win over the Portland Trail Blazers in the Moda Center. He was listed as questionable with a right quad strain he suffered in a 116-91 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.
While the Bulls don't have anything to play for, the Mavs are still chasing the Oklahoma City Thunder for the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference. However, Dallas is also sitting a number of players, including Kyrie Irving, though Luka Doncic is set to play. The Mavs seem to be prioritizing keeping their draft pick over chasing the play-in tournament. Dallas will keep its pick if it stays in the top 10, but it goes to the New York Knicks otherwise.
So, is DeMar DeRozan playing tonight vs. the Mavs? The answer is no.
