The Chicago Bulls will visit the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday for an NBA Eastern Conference vs. Western Conference clash at American Airlines Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. CT.
Chicago (2-2 SU, 1-3 ATS, 2-2 O/U) beat Indiana 112-105 on Monday, and Dallas (3-0 SU, 2-1 ATS, 3-0 O/U) defeated Memphis 125-110 in its last game. Last season, the Bulls won the season series 2-0.
Bulls: PG Lonzo Ball (knee) is out and PG Zach LaVine is probable (back).
Mavericks: PG Kyrie Irving (foot) is probable.
Chicago took down Indiana in its last game, outscoring the Pacers 34-22 in the fourth quarter to pick up the victory. The Bulls shot 46.0 percent from the field and held Indy to 12-for-46 shooting from three-point range (26.1). C Nikola Vuvecic paced the winning team with 24 points and 17 rebounds.
The Bulls have an experienced, veteran core with Vuvecic, Zach LaVine, and DeMar DeRozan. The team added Jevon Carter in the offseason, hoping that the former Bucks guard will pair well with Alex Caruso, but they're still missing Lonzo Ball. How far can this team advance in the postseason without any more acquisitions?
Last season, Chicago averaged 113.1 points (22nd) and shot 49.0 percent (4th), including 36.1 percent from beyond the arc (16th). Its opponents sco red 111.8 points per game (7th) and shot 46.8 percent (8th) with a 35.7 shooting percentage from deep (13th). The Bulls ranked 19th in pace, per Dunks and Threes.
