Both teams are below .500, but Oklahoma City is at least in the playoff hunt.
Chicago Bulls
The Bulls just beat the Clippers in their last game by a score of 109-106. This win comes after a game where they scored 73 points in total. They finally reached double-digits in wins, but still do not look like a playoff team by any means.
Chicago’s offense has been very inconsistent this season. They are averaging just 105.5 points per game. This is only 24th in the NBA. They do shoot the second worst percentage in the NBA, which is 42.8% from the field. From the three-point line, they only shoot 34.8%, which is 21st in the league.
Zach LaVine is by far the leader of this Bulls squad. He is averaging 22.6 point per game, with the next closest being Lauri Markkanen, who averages 14.3. The Bulls will need a similar performance like they had against the Clippers to keep up with this balanced Thunder offense.
[dfads params=’groups=20599&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
As a whole, the Bulls defense is is actually pretty good. They are allowing 107.3 points per game, the 11th ranked scoring defense. They also allow teams to shoot 45.3% from the field, ranking 14th in the NBA.
The lone bright spot is their ability to defend the three-point line. Chicago is holding teams to 32.3% from beyond the arc, which ranks 2nd in the league. Taking away the balanced scoring from the Thunder is by far their biggest key to getting back to back wins.
Oklahoma City Thunder
The Thunder have most recently lost two in a row. This came against the Sacramento Kings and the Denver Nuggets. They now return home after a four-game away trip, so they should be energized to play in their own arena.
The Thunder also do not put up big numbers when it comes to their offense. They average 107.5 points per game, which ranks 21st in the league. They are efficient at shooting the ball, ranking 9th in the NBA at 46.3%.
Their leading scorer this season continues to be Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who averages 18.5 points per game. The Thunder actually have at least three other guys that average 15 points or more. Steven Adams is another guy who averages more than 10 points per game and he also leads the team with 9.5 rebounds per game.
The defense for the Thunder is top 10 in the NBA as they allow 107.3 points per game. Teams shoot 45.6% from the field, which is 16th and 33.9% from the three, which is 7th.
