Hamilton played in Chicago's loss to Miami on Sunday but shot just 4-16 from the field; after the game, he admitted that it was a struggle to play through his groin and thigh injuries. Hamilton had played in six of the last seven games, but Monday night's contest will be the 12th he's missed in January.

Deng hasn't played since injuring his wrist on Jan. 21, though he is reportedly getting close to returning.
