Game Preview
On Wednesday, the Chicago Bulls (17-21) host the Houston Rockets (18-17). The Bulls’ offensive output has increased significantly since Zach LaVine returned to the lineup. He offers consistent playmaking and three-level scoring. As a result, LaVine’s All-Star kind of skill set will put Houston’s outstanding and always developing defense to the test.
The Chicago Bulls hope to win three games in a row. Chicago’s recent performance has been erratic. They had recently suffered two straight losses, to the Knicks and 76ers, but they bounced back, winning two consecutive against a subpar Hornets team. They defeated them 104-91 on Friday, then in the rematch on Monday, they won 119-112 on their travels in overtime. In 3 of his past 4 matches, DeMar DeRozan has scored 18 points or less, reflecting a recent cooling off in his play. With an average of 21.1 points per game on 47% shooting, the seasoned small forward has proven dependable for the majority of the season. After being out of action for more than a month, Zach LaVine returned to the lineup on Friday. The shooting guard has averaged 20.1 points per game this season, but he only managed 9 points on Monday.
On Wednesday, the Houston Rockets resume their difficult road trip. Houston has won 3 of its past 5 games and is a stronger team. This includes victories over the Nets and this Saturday’s victory at home over the Bucks. On Monday evening, they were defeated by the Heat 120-113 while traveling. Alperen Sengun has become a superb young athlete. The young center has averaged 24 points in January and has scored at least 20 points in 4 of his 5 games this month. Throughout the season, he has averaged 21.5 points per game and 9 rebounds. Jalen Green has not shot beyond 45% in 4 of his past 5 matches, signaling a recent dip. Despite shooting just 40% of the time, the young shooting guard has averaged 17.3 points per game.
