Sunday, December 4th, the Chicago Bulls and Sacramento Kings meet for the first of two scheduled matches this season. Chicago will host the second contest on March 15th.
Chicago last played on Friday losing 111-119 to the Warriors while the Kings are playing a back-to-back set having spanked the undermanned Clippers 123-96.
Last season, the teams played twice each winning on their home floor. The Bulls hold the all-time record having bested the Kings in 84 of their 166 matches.
Chicago Bulls
While Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic are each capable of big performances the key to the Bulls rests solely with DeMar DeRozan. In each of their recent gritty wins, it’s been Double D that was the difference.
Likewise, on a night where LaVine (21 points, 7 rebounds) and Vucevic (23 points, 11 rebounds) delivered strong efforts the reason the Bulls likely lost is the attention the Warriors paid to DeRozan forcing him to have an off-shooting night (4 of 15).
He finished with 16 points but half of those came from the charity stripe. Andrew Wiggins began the night guarding him but picked up two early fouls forcing Steve Kerr to scramble a bit sticking Green onto him.
Chicago scores 112.0 points per game ranking 17th while they shoot 47.1% from the field and 35.4% from the perimeter ranking 14th and 15th respectively.
Defensively, they allow 112,7 points per game ranking 13th. Their opponents shoot 47.7% from the field and 37.9% from the perimeter ranking 22nd and 296th respectively.
Alex Caruso (ankle) is probable for Sunday. Lonzo Ball (knee) remains out indefinitely.
Sacramento Kings
Hopefully, the power for the beam is well-stocked because it sure looks like the Kings are going to end their 16-year playoff drought given how they’ve been playing.
Keep an eye on this team adding one more player (for depth) at the deadline to ensure that fact.
Offensively, the Kings are among the very best in the association with the second-best scoring output averaging 119.9 points per game.
Similarly, they perform well in the proficiency areas ranking fourth-best for field goal percentage registering 49.3% while the rank a respectable 11th for perimeter percentage shooting 37.3% from deep.
Sacramento ranks 26th in opponent scoring allowing (117.2) points per game and ranks 29th on opponent field goal shooting (49.2%) and 28th for perimeter (37.9%) percentage efficiency.
The Kings have no one listed on the injury report.

Free Chicago Bulls vs. Sacramento Kings NBA Prediction:
This is the final game of the Bulls’ six-game Western road trip where they’ve collected a 2-3 record. The trip kicked off with an impressive win versus the Bucks and in Utah (which is never easy) but they lost in overtime to the Thunder and consecutive matches versus the Suns and Warriors.
The Kings just ended a three-game losing streak with consecutive blow-out victories versus the Pacers and Clippers and well, let’s face it they’ll be getting loud support from their fans to ‘Light the Beam!’
This season the Bulls have tended to perform best when they’re counted out. It’s a given DeRozan will try to push his team to the win but they’ve been on the road since November 22nd and have to be fatigued.
