Game Preview
On December 21, the San Antonio Spurs and the Chicago Bulls will play an NBA game at United Center.
In their latest match, the San Antonio Spurs fell to Milwaukee 132-119. Keldon Johnson led the club in scoring with 28 points. Victor Wembanyama’s ankle ailment kept him from playing, therefore he was unable to make his debut versus Antetokounmpo and company. The Spurs have now dropped 2 straight games and 21 of their previous 22 games, including that defeat, which was their 9th straight defeat on the road this season. The team’s scoring average of 110.9 per game, which is good for 25th place in the NBA, is 2.2 points lower than what Chicago has allowed on average this year. The defense has been the Spurs’ worst area of weakness; they rank 27th in the league in terms of average points allowed per game (122.5). Zach Collins will be moved to the bench and Victor Wembanyama will take over for him in the starting five if he is cleared to play.
In the meantime, the Chicago Bulls played the Lakers at home in their last game, their 2nd game of a back-to-back set and their 3rd in as many nights. With 27 points a game, DeMar DeRozan led the squad to a 124-108 triumph over the Lakers. That triumph came after an unexpected 108-104 victory over the 76ers that ended their six-game winning run. Chicago’s scoring attack this season has averaged 109.9 points per game, good for 27th place in the league and 13 points less than San Antonio’s average. The Bulls have done better on defense, ranking 13th overall with an average of 113.3 points given up per game. Chicago’s defense allows 37.7% of their opponents’ shots from beyond the 3 point line (404 of 1,071), and their opponents make 78.2% of their free throw attempts.
