Oklahoma City Thunder vs Chicago Bulls: Analysis and Prediction – Oklahoma City Thunder and Chicago Bulls will play an NBA game.
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Chicago Bulls Odds
Oklahoma City Thunder Team News
The Oklahoma City Thunder are on a big run. This team currently has five wins in a row and has significantly improved its position in the Western Conference standings. The Oklahoma City Thunder are now 10-4 and tied for second place with the the Denver Nuggets.
Hardly anyone could have expected this from this team before the start of the season. The potential is there, they have a leader in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but there was always the impression that they lacked quality in the frontcourt positions. There were a lot of question marks surrounding Chet Holmgren, and he answers all of them with top games, such as the one against the Golden State Warriors, when he scored 36 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. In the same match, Gilgeous-Alexander scored 40 and it is this tandem that keeps the Oklahoma City Thunder this high in the standings. Gilgeous-Alexander and Holmgren were the best in the introduction before this duel, when Mike Daigneault’s team defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 134:91. The first scored 28 and the second scored 16 points, which was quite enough.
From all of the above, it is clear what the Oklahoma City Thunder’s recipe is in the coming period. If the mentioned two players manage to maintain a very high level, Daigneault will have reason to be satisfied. What remains on him is not to burden them too much.
Chicago Bulls Team News
Unlike their rivals, the Chicago Bulls are not in good shape. This is evidenced by four defeats in the last five games, but it should be noted that this team usually lost in uncertain endings and that almost all of those games could have gone the other way.
However, the match against the Miami Heat was not like that. From the beginning, the team from Florida had the initiative and had no problem maintaining a double-digit surplus. In the end, Miami Heat won 118:100 and inflicted another defeat on the opponent. Things are not looking perfect for the Chicago Bulls at the start of the season, as they currently have just five wins from 15 games. One of the few bright spots in this team are Coby White and Nikola Vucevic. The first scored 20 points against the Miami Heat, the second 18. It wasn’t even their brightest game, but when you add it all up, it was very good.
What adorns the Chicago Bulls since the beginning of the season is the game of low number of points and it is something that is forced in the multiple champion of the NBA. Such an approach to the game is quite legitimate, but the question remains as to how offensively the Chicago Bulls can play that game and use everything they defend on one side in the offense on the other.
