Latest news for the Bulls: injuries and form

First of four occasions in which both teams will meet this season in the regular phase (the next meeting will be in four days in Cleveland).

The Bulls are coming off a series of painful defeats thanks to the Atlanta Hawks, who won thanks to a magnificent closing of the game (35-15) and a very favorable rotation where up to eight players scored at least ten points.

Facing these Cavs will be another story, as unlike the Hawks they complete their attack with a Spartan defense. They will have to give their all if they want to have even the slightest chance of surprising, especially a Josh Giddey who started his career in his new franchise on the right foot, but who in the last few games has been much less effective in front of the basketball while maintaining the its role as a catalyst.

Player to Watch: Zach LaVine

The combo guard usually puts together good individual performances when facing the Cavs. He gave them more than forty points on two occasions (both in 2020), and more than twenty on nine other occasions. Another thing is the final score: 5 wins and 9 losses. No spectacular night has yet materialized so far in this campaign, simply complying.

234 duels in their history for a clear domination of the Iliniois (133 to 101), but whose recent balance shows a very different score: of the last eight face-to-face matches, seven have fallen to the Cavaliers’ side.

Predictions for Bulls vs. Knights

LaVine o…Coby White. Whatever it is, and if they don’t want to be defeated, the Bulls will need more than team play to scare the Cavs. A great singular performance is considered essential to see a balanced duel at the United Center. Billy Donovan’s two wingers are the favorites for a record-breaking evening.

There is no better attack. Four players so reliable in terms of execution and so integrated that the Bulls (19th in defense), led in defense by Patrick Williams, White and Dosunmu, will have to give their best version in defense if they don’t want to go away. over 120 points received.

Duel of facilitators. Darius Garland ranks 13th in assists per game (6.6), while Josh Giddey ranks 11th (7.0). Who will win this particular duel in the score this evening?
