Memphis Grizzlies vs Chicago Bulls: Where to Watch

The Bulls will host the Grizzlies at the United Center on October 12 at 8:00 p.m. EST. NBA fans can stream the game on the NBA league pass. Locals in the Chicago area can also catch the game on the Chicago Sports Network.

Both these teams have added some key pieces over the offseason. Chicago moved on from DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso but picked up Josh Giddey, Chris Duarte, Talen Horton–Tucker and highly rated rookie Matas Buzelis.

Zach Edey will be the player to keep an eye on for the Grizzlies this season. The 7-foot-4 rookie had a strong summer league tournament and has continued his form in the NBA preseason.
