Bookmaker analysts believe the Brooklyn Nets are the clear favourites for the game. It’s hard to disagree with them. The Nets’ winning streak has gone on far too long. Irving and Durant are on a roll. The Bulls are unlikely to win this match.
The Chicago Bulls are averaging 114 home points, while the Nets are averaging 114 away. The teams’ meeting in November was not very productive. The 210-point mark was not surpassed. The upcoming game should also be very tight with plenty of action.
The Chicago Bulls played a crazy game against the Cleveland Cavaliers (134-145), but lost because Donovan Mitchell was unstoppable. He was a veritable beast on the floor and scored an unimaginable 71 points.
The Bulls were not even helped by Demar Derozan’s 44 points. Lavin and Vucevic also did their part to force the game into overtime. They combined for 46 points.
The Chicago Bulls currently have 16 wins and 21 losses. This allows them to count on just 12th place in the East. Although the Bulls have only lost once in their last four games, they don’t have much chance of success in the upcoming matchup.
The Bulls are averaging 114.3 points per game this season.
The Brooklyn Nets are on a roll and have not lost a game in 12 games. In the last 17 games, the New York team has lost just once. That was a month ago against the Boston Celtics (92-103).
In their last game against the San Antonio Spurs, Durant and Irving combined for 52 points in a convincing win over a frankly weak opponent. Kevin Durant also had 11 assists.
As of now, the Brooklyn Nets have 25 wins with 12 losses and are steadily sitting in second place in the Eastern Conference. The New York club has won two of its last three games on Chicago soil.
The Nets are averaging 115.2 points per game this season.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Chicago Bulls: Zach LaVine – Ayo Dosunmu – DeMar DeRozan – Patrick Williams – Nikola Vucevic.
Brooklyn Nets: Kyrie Irving – Seth Curry – Kevin Durant – Ben Simmons – Nic Claxton.
Lonzo Ball (Out), Javonte Green (Out), Tony Bradley (Out) and Andre Drummond (Day-to-day) are listed as injured for the Chicago Bulls.
Royce O’Neale (Day-to-day) and Markieff Morris (Day-to-day) are injured players for the Brooklyn Nets.
The fixture will be played at United Center (23.500) in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
This starting whistle will sound on the 5th of December, 2023, at 01:00 UK Time.
