Notes: Lavine and his wife, Hunter, recently announced that they expect their third child and avalanche will not be with the team for his three-game road trip, according to Donovan. . . Lavine, mentioned in trade rumors this season, is an average of 24.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per day. Battle and shoots 51.1 percent off the field. He threw 21 points in a team high when Bulls ended a two-match’s losing row by beating nuggets, 129-121, Monday. Chicago went 24 out of 53 over the arch and received 41 points from his bench. Bulls participated in the competition with seven losses in their last eight games. “That’s how we have to play,” Lavine said. “First device, second device – we played with energy we played through races. When they (bench players) give us a boost like that, it’s great. ”. . . Chicagos Coby White (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday night.
