Smart Game Analysis
Chicago Bulls has a 68% chance of winning the game
With Brooklyn's leading scorer Michael Porter Jr. ruled out, the Bulls are primed to avenge Friday's loss and exploit the league's lowest-scoring offense at the United Center.
Key Analysis
- • Brooklyn's leading scorer Michael Porter Jr. (25.7 PPG) is ruled out for rest, removing the primary engine of their offense.
- • Chicago enters with a significant motivation edge seeking revenge after losing to this same Nets team just two days ago.
- • The Bulls possess the 4th highest pace in the league, which should overwhelm a Nets team that ranks 27th in pace.
- • Nikola Vucevic has a favorable matchup in the paint against a Nets defense that allows 113.8 points per game.
- • Brooklyn ranks dead last in the NBA in points per game (108.9) and will struggle to keep up with Chicago's 11th-ranked offense without their top scorer.
- • The Nets are dealing with depth issues as rotation players Ziaire Williams and potentially Drake Powell are also listed on the injury report.
