*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Thursday, April 6th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Friday, April 7th.
Chicago Bulls
For the past several weeks eight teams battled to determine placement on the ladder for the fifth through 10th slots. New York separated themselves landing the fifth rung while the Wizards and Pacers bowed out electing to vie for the other race — lottery seeding.
Clearly, the goal of the other teams was to grab that sixth slot and avoid the play-in tournament altogether but that race is down to the Nets and Heat with the former controlling their own destiny.
Season Stats
Chicago scores 113.2 points per game ranking 21st while they shoot 49.1% from the field and 36.3% from the perimeter ranking third and 15th respectively.
Defensively, they allow 112.2 points per game ranking seventh. So far, their opponents shoot 46.9% from the field and 35.8% from the perimeter ranking ninth and 14th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- DeMar DeRozan, SF (questionable—rest)
- Zach LaVine, SG (questionable—rest)
- Alex Caruso, SG (questionable— foot)
- Javonte Green PG (probable—knee)
- Lonzo Ball, PG (OUT for the season— left knee surgery)
- Justin Lewis, SF (OUT—right knee surgery; ACL reconstruction)
Dallas Mavericks
To say things are tense for the Mavericks would be the understatement of the season. Not only are they fighting for the final play-in slot they aren’t solely in control of their fate.
Making matters worse the Mavs are 5-11 when Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic are in the lineup and both stars are nursing injuries. Irving can walk this offseason although no team (at least one that isn’t among the tanking group) can match what Dallas can offer the enigmatic guard.
Additionally, if the Mavs push to gain that 10th seed they all but ensure the Knicks will get their pick (Porzingis trade) whereas opting to bow out now would likely give them a top 10 pick in the lottery.
Stats
Meanwhile, on defense, the Mavs allow 113.8 points per game which rank 15th. In terms of efficiency, opponents are shooting 48.4% from the field and 35.1% from the perimeter ranking 23rd and sixth respectively.
The Mavericks score 114.2 points per game ranking 16th overall. As for their efficiency, they shoot 47.6% from the field and 37.2%.from the perimeter ranking 14th and eighth respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Kyrie Irving PG (probable—foot)
- Luka Doncic PG PG (probable—thigh)

Free Chicago Bulls vs. Dallas Mavericks NBA Prediction:
Although the Bulls had designs on moving up the ladder, losing on Wednesday offered Chicago an advantage over whichever play-in opponent they’ll face (Hawks or Raptors) who won’t have the luxury Billy Donovan has to rest his stars in the final two matches.
It also means the Mavericks gain an edge facing Chicago without their starting backcourt. Granted, even if Dallas wins their final two games they don’t have sole control of their fate.
Regardless if Dallas wins their last two games, OKC owns the tiebreak so if the Thunder wins on Sunday it will eliminate the Mavs from the playoffs.
I’d say the better choice would be to bow out now given the prospect of a much deeper draft class this year but when you have a star of Doncic’s ilk it’s not easy to throw in the towel.
