This Christmas Day matchup features the Bulls traveling to San Antonio to face a tough Spurs team.
The Bulls are 1-4 in their last 5 games, while San Antonio saw a 5 game win streak get snapped by the Clippers Thursday night. .
Chicago Bulls
Chicago has dealt with inconsistent play all season, and even though they were seen as a team that could contend with Cleveland for a shot at the NBA Finals, I don’t think they can win a tough 7 game series against any of the other Eastern Conference contenders.

Jimmy Butler has been stuck in a shooting slump the last few games. In Wednesday’s 10 point loss to the Wizards, he was just 6-20 from the field (0-4 from 3pt range) for 20 points. He did pull down a season high 11 rebounds and has been a consistent threat on the glass.
Butler seems to be forcing a lot of shots, and has only shot over 40% from the floor in 3 of the last 8 games. Going up against the Spurs expect Butler to have another poor shooting night.
Dwayne Wade has publicly said that the Bulls are putting too much pressure on Jimmy Butler, so can he be counted on in late game situations? Wade dropped 19 points against Washington, but he also had a rough shooting night going 7-20 from the field.
He did only attempt 1 three pointer, which is a good sign for the direction of this offense. With Kahwi Leonard guarding Butler most of the night look for Wade to have an explosive game, and put up 25 points against a weak Spurs defense.

Taj Gibson has been a steady player for the Bulls all season. He is averaging 12 points and 7 rebounds per contest and should give former teammate Pau Gasol fits on both ends of the floor.
San Antonio Spurs
Kahwi Leonard got back into a groove in the loss to the Los Angeles Clippers Thursday, finishing with 27 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists.
Arguably the best two way player in the NBA, Leonard exposed the Clippers weakness at small forward, but will face another strong two way player in Jimmy Butler in this game.
He has averaged 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists over the last 5 games, and should reach those averages against the Bulls.
Lamarcus Aldridge had a tough game against DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin. The former All Star finished with only 10 points and 4 rebounds Thursday. Taj Gibson is another big who can shut down the opponent’s front court attack, and I expect him to give Aldridge problems all night.

Pau Gasol was one rebound away from his second straight double double. Finishing with 21 points and 9 boards against Los Angeles.
The Bulls front court will play Taj Gibson and Robin Lopez in the front court, but expect the offensive game of Gasol to outmatch Lopez’s efforts on the defensive end. He should put up 15 and 11 in this one.
