There isn’t a shortage of star power Monday night on a 9-game NBA slate, but it’s safe to say not every team is at full strength.

While the Chicago Bulls are injury free and seek a 4-0 start to the year, all-star Zion Williamson has yet to suit up for the Pelicans, throwing their lineup in flux, while Cade Cunningham still isn’t fully recovered from an ankle injury suffered in training camp.

All-stars Bradley Beal (hip) and Jaylen Brown (knee) are trying to work their way back into the lineup, while key contributors like Portland’s Norman Powell and Clippers’ big man Serge Ibaka have already been shelved for Monday.

Read on to find our injury report and lineups for all of the action.
