Bulls' Bobby Portis: Will start at power forward Friday

Portis will start at power forward in Friday's game against the Suns, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

With Taj Gibson traded to the Thunder, the power forward position is Portis' to take over. Portis played 25-plus minutes in two of the Bulls' last three games and recorded a total of 35 points and 14 rebounds in those two contests. Expect Portis to take on an even larger, more consistent role now that he has taken over as the starter with Nikola Mirotic continuing to fill in off the bench.
