Smart Game Analysis
Chicago Bulls has a 62% chance of winning the game
The Bulls are poised to snap their losing streak at home against a Mavericks squad that has been hollowed out by injuries to superstars Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving.
Key Analysis
- • Dallas is missing its entire superstar core with Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, and P.J. Washington all ruled out.
- • Nikola Vucevic has a massive matchup advantage in the paint against a depleted Mavericks frontcourt missing rim protector Dereck Lively II.
- • The Mavericks possess the third-worst road record in the NBA at 4-13 and have failed to cover the spread in nine consecutive away games.
- • Chicago performs significantly better at the United Center, having won four of their last six home matchups against Dallas.
- • Rookie Cooper Flagg is averaging 19.1 points but lacks the veteran support to overcome Chicago's depth.
- • Dallas must rely on Klay Thompson to exploit Chicago's perimeter defense to have any chance of an upset.
