NBA Eastern conference fight Washington WizardsCapital One Arena’da Chicago Bulls will encounter.
Let’s take a look at the latest situations of the teams before the match, which will start at 03:00 on Wednesday, November 27, enjoy reading.
Latest situation in Wizards:
Washington Wizards are the NBA team with their worst form of the season and are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with an 11-game losing streak. The team, which could only get two wins in the season, was disappointing. In their last game, they lost to Indiana Pacers 115-103. These results are worrying even for a team in the process of rebuilding.
Defensive Troubles and Low Three-Point Percentage
The Wizards are one of the weakest teams in the league defensively. They are allowing 122.9 points per game, bettered only by their next opponent, the Chicago Bulls. On offense, ball losses and low shooting percentage prevent the team from playing a consistent game. Things became even more difficult with the injury of the leader of the attack, Jordan Poole.
Status of Young Talents
Washington has focused on young talent, relying on high draft picks from the last two seasons. However, players such as Bilal Coulibaly and Alex Sarr are not yet at a level where they can make a significant impact. Coach Brian Keefe’s difficulty finding the right balance further slows down this development process.
Prominent Names in the Team and Transfer Scenarios
Malcolm Brogdon is one of the team’s rare shining players and makes an important contribution to the attack. However, overall production is still not at a sufficient level. The possibility of trading names such as Kyle Kuzma and Jonas Valanciunas is being discussed. Such moves could herald a change in the team’s rebuilding strategy.
Strategy for the Next Match
In order for the Wizards to win against the Chicago Bulls, they need to reduce turnovers and achieve a higher shooting percentage. Achieving a consistent offensive rhythm by assessing the weakness of the opponent’s defense can play a key role in winning.
missing
They will not be able to benefit from Jordan Poole, Tristan Vukcevic and Saddiq Bey.
Latest situation in Bulls:
Chicago Bulls had a lower-than-expected start to the season. They have an inconsistent performance, with a record of 7-11. Their 142-131 defeat to the Memphis Grizzlies in their last game once again revealed that the problems in defense continued throughout the season.
Defense Issues
The Bulls have the worst defensive statistics in the league, allowing 123.9 points per game. This negates their offensive efforts. Giving easy positions to opposing teams and lack of organization in defense are among the main reasons for the losses. These defensive weaknesses prevent them from turning the game around at critical moments.
Shining Names in Offense
Offensively, the team is heavily reliant on Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic. LaVine’s contribution of 22.7 points per game and Vucevic’s average of 9.7 rebounds in addition to scoring are at the center of the Bulls’ offense. However, when one of these two underperforms, the team generally struggles. Although Josh Giddey’s assist contribution adds dynamism to the team, there are deficiencies in squad depth.
Omissions and Returns
Lonzo Ball’s return is eagerly awaited. Being able to return to the field before the planned date of mid-December could solve the Bulls’ defensive and playmaking problems. However, the instability of other rotation players is still a big problem.
Wizards Match Strategy
Chicago Bulls need to use this advantage against the young and inexperienced Washington Wizards. It is very important that they do not give their opponents second chances by gaining the upper hand in rebounds. They will also look for victory by focusing extra on defense and using LaVine and Vucevic in a balanced way on offense. This match is an important opportunity for the Bulls to make a breakthrough.
missing
They will not be able to benefit from Lonzo Ball, Adama Sanogo and Patrick Williams, and the situations of Talen Horton-Tucker and Julian Phillips are also questionable.
