Good evening to all. At TD Garden in Boston Celtics welcome them Bulls, on 02: 30 Tuesday morning.

Return to victories for them Celtics, which after 3 unsuccessful results, overpowered the Pelicans 140-105 very easily. Awesome appearance by Tatum who stopped at 41 career points with 16/22 shots and 6/9 three-pointers. At the same time, Kemba seems to be recovering with a second consecutive good game after injury issues and a bug that has plagued him, with Brad Stevens' team filling up again. 26-11 is the record for the Celtics now in 2nd place in the Eastern District, while at home they run the impressive 15-3.

The Bulls in turn, they also broke a negative six-match series with a 6-99 win over the Pistons in Detroit. Zach Lavine was the Bulls' top scorer for yet another game. Jim Boylen's performance against teams with a positive record, such as tonight's opponent, is frustrating as they measure just 108 win and 1 defeats. 15-14 overall Bulls record 26th in the Eastern District, 10 games behind the Magic 4,5s.

The two teams clashed again 10 days ago in Chicago with the Celtics winning 104-111. 

In summary, the home side will probably want to rebuild a positive series and momentum after winning the Pelicans, and tonight is offered as a first-class opportunity. They are 100% in the match and can even cover the handicap of -10 points. Personally I decided to go with the team over 109,5 of Celtics that are aggressively rolling and Garden are trying to give their games a fast pace. After all, Brad Stevens's team averages 111,4 points per game this season, while at home it stands at 115,2.

Hello everyone and happy new year! At the United Center in Chicago Bulls welcome them Jazz, at 03:00 on Friday mornings.

The Bucks come in tonight's showdown against the Bucks Bulls, who saw Giannis Antetokounbos and his group pass by their headquarters with the emphatic 102-123. I made it clear big problem of Jim Boylen's team is located in the attack with the Bulls having a hard time scoring 105,9 points per game with a shooting efficiency of just 43,1%, while defensively doing pretty well. 13-21 Bulls record 9th in Eastern Region 2 games behind 8th Magic.

The Jazz in turn closed 2019 in an ideal way. Third consecutive win, against the Pistons this time with 104-81, and eighth in the last nine toys. At the same time, they saw Clarkson, who had just won a few days ago, come off the bench and help them out exactly where they were, achieving 20 points. Not even Quin Snyder's team has impressed so far aggressively, however is constantly improving with an average of 115 points in the last three while defensively remains excellent allowing opponents to stand up to only 43,9% of their attempts. 21-12 the record of the Jazz in the 6th position in the Western District.

Summing up, if you are Jazz play the defense that they play to this day I find it extremely difficult Bulls to find the solutions on the offensive side and to oppose them. Also, although the hosts defensively can make it difficult for the players of Quin Snyder, but still the guests, especially after the addition of Clarkson, have the talent to cope. The double with a 2-point handicap will be my choice from the match, at odds of 1,71 (bet365).

At Chicago's United Center Bulls welcome them Hornets, on 03: 00 Saturday morning.

Probably their best appearance this year Bulls they split the Hawks with 136-102 and data will then want to build on that victory. 9-17 Chicago's overall record at 11 Eastern Region 3 match behind 8 Magic. In his statements after the Hawks' sweeping victory, the team's top scorer, Zach Lavine, said that he and his teammates, despite losing a number of matches while leading up to the 4 season, had finally found a way to keep their lead and how from now on they will show up every night.

On the side of Hornets now almost everything revolves around Devonte Graham and his incredible season, which no one could have foreseen. Aim for tonight's 3 consecutive win over the Nets and Wizards and bring the team even closer to the 8 playoffs. The Hornets are currently 9 Easts with a record of 11-16.

I think tonight's performance set should be more divided as the Bulls haven't shown us the stability needed so far to trust them as 1,40 favorites, or even with -6,5 handicaps. On the contrary, the line at over is low based on what we have seen from both teamsFirst of all, both are trying to run in the parquet and quickly execute their attacks. Also, The home team gets 106,6 points per game and receives 108,3 and the visitors score 106 and allow 112,7. Finally, in the two previous clashes for this year's regular season the score was high as the Hornets with 125-126 dominated and the Bulls with 115-116 in the second. 

Very interesting and very full tonight in the NBA, as 22 teams will be in the parquet. Personally, I will not open my game and go to a single choice.

At the United Center in Chicago, the Bulls welcome them Blazers, on 03: 00 Tuesday morning.

With Zach Lavine's incredible buzzer beater Bulls returned to victory over the Hornets (115-116). To be precise, it was not only Lavine's three-point win, but Jim Boylen's overall overthrow in the final seconds. If anyone has not seen it, let's look for it. 6-11 the record for the '' bulls '' which is true they haven't started as we expected (the goal was and still is the 8 position) and there are plenty of murmurs already, mainly for the team's coach.

Another defeat for them Blazers, the 4th in a row, this time by the Cavalies. 5-12 is the record of Terry Stotts's team that is in the penultimate position of the western region, ahead only of the Warriors (the oxymoron is that these two teams were in the finals of the West last year). Lillard returned against the Cavs, who is having a very good year based on numbers and will play normally tonight as well.

Given The Blazers are not as bad as the rating indicates and I think it's a matter of time to "find" it and play to their true potential, while it's true that they have suffered quite a bit from injuries so far. I will trust them tonight despite the negative run they are running. If they are serious in defense that is where their main issue lies they have nothing to fear from the Bulls who, in turn, face problems on both sides of the parquet and find it difficult to solve a single victory. 

Double at 1.88 by Stoiximan. 

The tonight's coupon in the NBA is very full and extremely interesting, but let's go into detail what options came up.

At the United Center in Chicago, the Bulls host them Heat, on 03: 00 Saturday morning.

Having succeededi 4 consecutive wins and with the psychology of heights Heat aspire to follow up on successes. 10-3 coach Spoelstra's team record and 3th position in eastern region, just the 1 game behind the Bucks. In general it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Florida team is one of the most stable, if not the most stable in the league. Rookie Hero and Nunn make eyes, Butler is the leader, Bam Adebayo is scary in the drawing and Dragic offers experience, and those who come from the bench put their money in what we see so far. It's worth noting that the Heat are the most appropriate team in the league with 48,2%.

On the opposite bank, finally victory for Bulls that dominated the Pistons and ended one defeat 3 series. Not as many unsuccessful results as picture taken by the Bulls on the parquet floor. 5-10 the record of Jim Boylen's team so far and 10 the East spot.

My estimation is that one way or another the guests will leave Chicago with the victory and the double in 1,53 is quite right. Also, I am in no way negative for anyone who wants to take the risk and take it with a handicap at -3,5 or 4,5 points. But personally, this, which I'll bet is the team over 106,5 of Heat (1,50 / stoiximan). Miami has scored 4, 117, 108 and 109 points respectively in the last 124, while this year in total score 112,2 per match. Finally, I note that defensively Bulls is not something special either accept 109,8 average points.

This is a difficult day for betting on the NBA, since in most games we have very low odds, resulting in the handicaps given to us being big enough.
In the last game of the day that starts at 4, Utah hosts Chicago.
The 14 5 hosts have a 9-5 record. The 2 wins they have done so far are not a bad record for Jazz since most games have fought against the giants of the West Region and have made a small tour in the East with 3 wins and 5 defeats. In 102 away, these games lost from Atlanta, Toronto and Indiana while they won in New York and Detroit. If we add the victory against Cavaliers at home with 100-3, the record against the Eastern teams It's 3-5, with 6 from 3 away from home. The Mormons at home have a record of 3-XNUMX but all of their games were quite difficult if we exclude the match against the decimated Oklahoma. In addition to Oklahoma winning Phoenix and Cleveland and lost from Houston, Dallas and New Orleans.
Chicago on his part began with dreams and aspirations of the new season, but the injuries hit each other. Roose has lost 4 consecutive matches, Gasol 3, while the last game against Portland was also missing Heinrich. in the same game, Gibson turned his ankle and will certainly be absent from today's game. The other injured are dubious but I think it will be hard to play more than one.
In Chicago, the 6 season was well off against New York, Minnesota, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Toronto and Clippers. However, 2 had 2 shock defeats from Boston and Indiana. West on West Group has a record of 2- 2 with all the games being away. He was overcame in Minnesota and Los Angeles (Clippers) and lost to XNUMX last games from Sacramento and Portland with two-point differences.

I think Utah will win the victory in front of her audience.

Two of NBA's most historic teams are currently in Madison Square Garden with Carlisle Anthony's Nicks to welcome the Chicago Bulls of Rose and P.Gasol.
And the 2 teams were disappointing last season, with Nicks finishing 9s in the East and losing the playoffs while Chicago's absent Roose was out in the 1 round from Washington with 4-1.
The Bulls in the summer have acquired Po Gasol, who was left by the Lakers, brought to Real by Mirrotes and by the Draft took the McDonald's. On the return of Rose the team shows full and will logically fight with Cleveland of Lembron for a place in the finals of the NBA. Today's game will be Butler who has a problem on his right leg and will lose some races.
The Nicks saw Carmel in the summer to renew for another 3 for years and now they can build around this group. However, with Stuttemier and Barniani's heavy contracts, they could hardly sign a good free agent. They lost Chandler in the summer and Fellon and Calderon. Their goal for this year will be to make the most of the game. Bariani will be the current match.
Bulls is a small favorite, showing that they have better chemistry than the New York team.

Let's go to a match that I have distinguished from the NBA Summer League held in Las Vegas at 2 hours (23,30).

I will bet in Chicago that 2 / 2 has so far won against Clippers and Denver. In the opening, Klippers defeated 86-70 thanks to 27 Snell points. Then he won Denver with 103-76 with McNormand roulette scoring 32 points with 7 / 10 triplets. With Snell and McDonald in their composition, the bulls have 2 players with great appeal to scoring, resulting in the best attack.

On the other hand, Minnesota counts 2 defeats in an equal number of races. In their premiere they lost from Dallas with 93-85 and their 2 fight from Washington with 67-59.
Dheng, Sved and Muhammad stand out from his roster.

I think the Bulls will open the pace and Minnesota will be hard to follow. The X + 6 handover given to Minnesota seems to me quite small and I will bet the bulls.

Let's take a walk from the sunny always Los Angeles and the fight between 2 teams that have one of the heaviest jerseys in the NBA. The hosts of the Lakers have 16 championships, while the Bulls 6 all in the 90 'decade' with Michael Jordan in their composition.
They have played once more this year with Chicago dominating 93-91 on home thanks to a Gibson leap in the last second of the game.

The Lakers are coming from two consecutive wins over Cavalleers and Philadelphia and they seem to be racing after many defeats in January. The team continues to resemble a hospital after the injured continue to be Bryant, Hill, Micks, Gasol and Henry.
But here and 2-3 games have come back to Las and Blake by releasing Mike D'Anthony's hands.
They have a very good tradition at the Staples Center after winning 13 matches from their latest 16.

On the other hand, Chicago has a 24-25 record and is in the 5 position in the East. Lately, despite the absence of Rose and Deng's exchange, he has nice results and has managed to win a single win at the home of the hot Sans. but he lost 102-87 from the Golden State.
For today's match is doubtful Buzer.
Let's go with the hosts of the Lakers who show up in their last games.

Mitch derby among 2 among the best teams in the eastern region in the last 3-4 years. Meiami has a record of 14-4 so far, while Chicago is at 7-9.

The two teams have open accounts since last year's overs, as although Meammi easily crossed the 4-1 finals in the East, in almost all of the series, we had misfits and tensions with Nea and Andersen.

Chicago after injury to Roosevelt, who will lose this season also has 1-3 record with only winning home in Detroit with 99-79. In the home, he has 5 wins and 1 just defeated from New Orleans with 131- 128, in a match played with 3 extensions. Plus, their game is based on highs, with Noah, Boucher and Gibson having the best frontline throughout the championship. In today's match away from Roosevelt, guard Butler.

Miami, after making 10 consecutive victories, is in trouble in its last matches. It defeated the Bobcats 99-98, overturning a difference of 15 points in the twelve minutes thanks to Bos's three-pointers. However, in its last match against Detroit, it was behind the score with double-digit differences from the beginning of the match and lost fairly with 107-97. The only one who seemed to be fighting was Beasley who scored 24 points. Wade was missing from these 2 matches, since the problems in his knees do not say to let him go. Doubtful is given for today's match.

In the championship premiere, Miami had easily defeated 108-96. In the last 6 match for the regular season, Chicago has 5-1 opposite Miami.

I expect the tall Bulls to dominate under the racket and give a big boost to their team. Besides, Miami in most of the matches has lost the battle of rebounds. I will also get the +5.5 handicap on stoiximan for more security.

"Day off" looks like a forbidden word in the last 5 days for Clippers, who will give 4 their game from 20 of the month to date. Five days, four matches for the Doc Rivers team, which at 20 passed Minnesota (102-98) on 21 went to Oklachoma to see the defeat (105-91) and yesterday he returned to LA to win at the finale, with his ... soul in his mouth and Paul's slick shot the Sacramento with 103-102. It even managed to get up to 20 points (20-40) in the second period, but not only against (89-94) about three minutes before the finish. Fatigue from the consecutive matches was evident for the Hollywood players even though they are still the start of the season. Today they will face one of two Bulls, and if they want to keep the winning results, their attack should be fresher than it was in the second half and especially in the third period of yesterday's match. This is the third best fit the (107.3) in the league, which, however, will find opposite the third best defense (90.5) in-maybe-worst point of the season, if we take into account the fact of continuous struggles and fatigue that is of them.

"Bulls" do not allow more than 40.4% accuracy to the opponent, which is the second best, but they also have a big regional problem where they accept the 39.9% of rival efforts behind the "bow", which is the big " "Chicago will give its third game play in the West, already counting two defeats in Denver (97-87) and Portland (98-95), in a match that saw Derick Rose again retire supporting, to know the next day that you will need surgery, as well a menacing rupture and the fears of an early end of the season for the unfortunate Bulls star to make their appearance. However, it is worth mentioning that Rose's only play this year was his first away win with an extraordinary appearance in Toronto (96-80). Obviously, I do not mean that the Reds no longer need the 2011 MVP, but the fact that he did not manage to find a pace after the injury that kept him out last season, in that Bulls learned to play without the presence can not be ignored. Returning to today's showdown, let's say the Bulls will find the third worst defense against 105.1, which allows 46.6% accuracy (7 worse).

Controlling and reigning rebounds will be one of the "keys" for today's Bulls, a team that is the best in the field (47.5) anyway, while the tough defense of the guests is expected to exhaust even more the tired Clippers.Boozer, Deng and Noah are supposed to get on their backs the team, which is undoubtedly stricken and psychologically damaged by Rose's new injury, when Boutler

Chicago may not have started the season well, but one thing is for sure this year. The fact that for one more year will have one of the best defenses in the championship, Thibodeau puts a huge weight on his team's defense team is the beginning and the end of all the bullfighting matches. At this time, 5 matches 93 points (third best), not allowing the opponent to shoot with more than 41.2% (fourth best) and forcing him to take a lot of shots even behind the "bow" . In two matches at the United Center he counts as many victories without having received more than 81 points against Knicks and Jazz. Bulls players make a lot of energy and a steady passion in each match, and in particular the racket looks like their defense is going up one level.

Cavaliers on the other side with Mike Brown on their bench have turned into a team that plays good defense and of course now likes the under, which was confirmed in their 5 / 7 games so far. In fact, it is worth mentioning how against Bobcats (84), Pacers (74), and Sixers (79) away failed to beat 84 points that did not exceed 36% as a whole, and only with Bucks - always for off-street - managed to reach 104. He has the eighth worst assault with 94.1 and shoots with a disappointing XNU roster MX% (40.6 from the end) .If he wants to get something from the current match, it is certain that he will have to show a good defensive image because he will aggressively face any problems against the harsh and the foul defense "bulls".

I will go under the 89.5 under 1.95's 90 on the stack, as it seems very difficult for this team to hit over XNUMX over Bulls defense when it has aggressively shown nothing special against worse defenses.

The Bulls seem to be facing the preseason as if it were a regular review from 5 / 5 that has so far been against any minor teams such as the Pacers (in two games), Grizzlies, Wizards and Pistons, as well as stinging and tough defense even if the match is friendly. The 84.5 points received are at least impressive for the preseason, while that number would be even lower if they did not allow Indiana to place 98 in the last match, as from then on he has not received over 87 (Grizzlies), while he kept p 76's Pacers in their premiere at Pre and 81 in Washington and Detroit. At the same time, the impressive performance of the "bull" defensive is the fact that it does not allow opponent adversity to exceed 37.2%, having bookings under 32 % of Wizards, Pistons, and Indiana in the first race.

Today they will be welcomed to the United Center by the Bucks, who over the last game that managed to score 99 in Memphis, and beyond, and in a total of three more games they did not score their score over 89, against Cavaliers with 99-87), Timberwolves (98-89 defeat), and Charlotte (83-76 defeat), while Cavs and Bobcats did not hit more than 38%. It is basically a new 3 / 5 have come this year and on a bench with a great deal of inexperience, since in its majority (beyond Neal and Ridnour) it includes ... pitcher (Wolters, Antetokounmpo, Czyz, Middleton, McKinney Jones, etc.).

Larry Drew can not count on another match for llyasova, Delfino and Neal, when Pachulia is likely to fight for the first time this year. For the Bulls except for Noah, Butler and Hinrich. I will get under 89.5 points for the Bucks attack that if it stayed below this limit against teams such as Cleveland, Minnessota and Charlotte I can not think it will go over 90 against the bullshit defense of the bulls even on pre.

After the "slap" in the series premiere, with the Bulls temporarily seizing the home advantage, Miami got serious and took two consecutive wins (home and away) that gave it a head start in the series and of course the advantage back. prevailed 115-78 at the American Airlines Arena and 104-94 at the United Center, in a series that has plenty of ... wood to show. The remarkable thing about the two consecutive victories of the Heat, is the fact that they shot with 60% (42- 70) and 50% (9-18) in the three-pointers, in terms of the first and with 50% (35-70) and 40% (8-20) behind the "bow" in the second, where Lebron James even made a very mediocre appearance, shooting 6-17, which the truth is that he is not used to. The champions may not be the team with the best attack in the playoffs (specifically fourth best with an average of 100.7), but it is this with the highest percentage of accuracy amounting to the excellent 49.6% and the one with the third best percentage in three-pointers with 34.9%, in a total of seven points traces so far.

As for the Bulls, it is worth mentioning that they accept only 100.1 points in the ten matches they have played so far, allowing the opponent to shoot with the particularly high for them 45.6% and 33.8% behind the "bow". champions, to say that in the second game of the series he had six players with 11 or more points, taking at least two points from 11 of the 13 who played, while in the third game he may have had only four with double digits, however he managed to go over 100 again, with the valuable assists offered by Norris Cole coming from the bench (18 points in both with 7-9 and 4-4 three-pointers in the first and 6-7 with 3-3 three-pointers in the second).

It is a series that, as we pointed out at the beginning, has a lot of wood to show, mainly on the side of the "bulls" who made some very hard during these three games. This means many shots for Miami (run 29 in the second game series and other 30 in the third), which will help our choice which is over 96.5 of the attack of the champions.

One of the most ambitious series this year is 2's 4 5 and XNUMX positions in the Eastern season, and it seems to be predictive that their games would be particularly exciting without being accompanied by many points.

In the first round of the series, Brooklyn managed to set his own rhythm in the first leg of his history in the long run, since it is the first season that the team moved from New Tzerse, based mainly on his enthusiasm and support for the public making an almost unbeatable game of aggression with Deron Williams overnight and dragging on the theoretically more Sika's theory, making it a very versatile 1-0. However, there was the inexperience of his players, who, although there are plenty of stars, would have been overwhelmed to say that only Miami had a better roster on the paper than the Nets in their East has not had many representations of critical games, rely heavily on Derron as both a scout and an organizer, and in the event that he blocks things is very difficult for Brooklyn's "neoplots".

So Sikogo replied with two successive victories, by arranging to do better than any other team at least in the East, playing defense, since Rouuz will not be present anytime this year, and Noah as he revealed himself does not even train the team, which is a regular participant in the games but has a limited participation, as well as being injured by a break for the All Star Game and thereafter. I am expecting to repeat the same successful 2 recipe today, and since Brooklyn shows that he has not yet found the necessary chemistry, he has some minor problems with some players' complaints that either do not play enough, or are actively involved in the striker of the group and looking to find their role (Wales and Brooks predominantly) is expected to be quite low and very likely the group that will reach the 90 points is at the end and the winner having or regain the advantage of a seat - in the event that the Nets win - or there will be a break from the semi-finals of the East - winning the Shikago, which is most likely for me - but the resting Miami will be waiting for them.

An extra "plus" that makes me believe in this choice is that the NBAer is also glad that she will probably be the one who is the only one who has gone on a trip, I think. Whenever it sounds like it and the other day - let it be heard, it is the special one, and so is its name!

Chicago and Brooklyn are thrown into the battle of their third race in 1-1, with the Bulls breaking the Nets headquarters and making a major qualifying step. The two teams in addition to the two postseason clashes contracted another four times in the season, and none of these overall scores exceeded 182 points. This was the first match in the playoff series with "nets" prevailing with 106-89, but things are back in. their natural place with the under and the 90-82 of the second game at the Barclays Center .

The "bulls" in this fight played tremendous defenses, holding the one who had done them damage to the first match at 8 points, with 1-9 shots and 0-5 triples. Of course, I'm referring to Derron Williams, but the same goes for Joe Johnson who in 40 minutes could have 17 points but with 6-18 and 3-7 three-pointers. In particular, the Thibodeau team did not allow their opponent to shoot with more than 35.4% (29-82) and 19% (4-21) to the three-pointers, with its stunning and defensive defense. Again, we are talking about the third best defense of the championship in the regular with 92.9 points, while aggressively, it often did not exceed 90 points, with 93.2 becoming the worst of all. The Bulls' secret to their ... survival in playoff without the leader and heavy "artillery" Derrick Rose, has long been known and is about defensive defense throughout the game.

That's how Nets found "dark" or, more specifically, if you want the two black-and-white stars who ... broke the baskets in the second race. In Brooklyn, they know well that if they want to continue in the second round, but their defenses, especially in the regular but also so far in the two postseason matches, are consistently good with 95.1 (sixth best) and 89.5 (fifth best) respectively.

I will go under 182.5 which was not overtaken by 5 / 6 this year between the two teams. The Bulls are expected to present today their well known defensive image, which was also the one that gave them the victory and the "break" seat in the second race, which did not happen in the first, when they received 106 points. Noah shows that he can hold for at least 20 with 25 minutes, the ... Williams and Johnson button seems to have been found, so I will I look for my luck in this under.

The third choice from the NBA playoffs will be the second game in a row of the Nets against the Bulls, in which the hosts lead 1-0. In the first game, the victory for Brooklyn came more than easy, with the scoreboard at the end of the match to show 106-89 and the Nets to have basically cleared the match from half time, when they were ahead with +25, leaving the ... foot off the accelerator in the replay. The good defense of the "bulls" failed to stop the appetites of Deron Williams (22 points with 9 / 15,7 assists, 3 steals), Brook Lopez (21 points with 7 / 15,5 rebounds, 3 blocks) and Joe Johnson (16 points with 7/13,4 , 4 rebounds, 14 assists,), with the coach of the "nets" also seeing Watson and Blatche coming off the bench and giving significant assists in scoring (6 to 8/12 and 6 to 11-56 respectively), in contrast to the other six on the bench who ... passed and did not touch. It is worth mentioning that Brooklyn scored 55.8 points from the painted, shooting with the awesome 42.9% and 36 .47.4% on three-pointers when Chicago had 25, with its percentages ranging at 13% and XNUMX% respectively, while the home team also won the "battle" in rebounds, with Reggie Evans (XNUMX) doing a lot of work on in this area.

If the Bulls drop in that line, it will be very difficult for them to get the ticket for the second round. This is because, despite the very good defense that they undoubtedly play - and which is not lacking either the Nets-have serious problems to deal with, and these are summarized in the absence of a ruler's hand (see Deron in Brooklyn), but also in the very limited quality of the players and solutions in general at his counter. add the fact that Joakim Noah ( played 14 minutes in the first match and had 4 / 2 6 and 5 rebounds), he paints with his foot paw, it is easy to see that things will be very difficult for Tom Thibodeau's team, which will not see her own leader, Derrick Rose, wearing jersey and parquet flooring and even in the postseason.

I'm going to go with the Nets -4.5, who with the current data is a better team than the "bulls," has more and possibly better qualities than the bench, when her two rookies can easily "carry "the playoff team (Williams, Johnson), something missing from the" red ".

Bad Bulls are coming to Raptors in the United Center tonight as the team of Tom Thibodeau reminds of something from ... hospital, since Rose, Noah, Hamilton, Gibson, and Luol Deng will be out when the doubt but Kirk Hinrich is likely to be on the floor. Besides, the situation of the "bulls" is not good on the racing track as they come from a defeat in Detroit (99-85), which in fact put them on ... back to the wall with regard to securing the fourth position and grasping the advantage of the Nets, with the last n have a record of 44-32 and the "red" to stay at 42-34 with only six games remaining. It is worth mentioning that Chicago has the second worst home record than the teams in the East Okta (after Bucks) with 22-16. More in general, however, the last Bulls appearances are problematic, except for the Brooklyn win (92-90), as with the thousand zombies prevailed within the Magic (87-86) and Pistons (95-94) knowing the defeat in Dallas (100-98) and Washington (90-86). The absence of the best defense and one of good advance in the regional league, such as Deng, adds a "headache" in Thibodeau, whose alternatives is the counter did not stand out for their quality.

On the other hand, we have the Raptors, who have no real interest in the follow-up of the regular season, beyond perhaps their wish to take 9's position in the East. They come from three wins in their six most recent games, (99-82) and Minnesota (95-93), while they also prevailed within the Wizards (88-78). At the same time, they defeated Washington (109-92) Pistons (108-98) and the last game they gave to Milwaukee.In the only previous match this year between the two current opponents, the Bulls prevailed in Canada with 107-105 on the prolongation, with all of you today being out of the way to fight normally (except Rose is meant).

I'm going to go with the Raptors doubles, which is based on the absences and the overall performance of the Bulls in their last games, is given a particularly satisfying performance. Still, Toronto does not seem to have tossed a white towel and I do not mention the playoff , but more generally in the remaining regular match. The strong region of the "raptors" I think will create a problem for the bulls in this field, given the absence of Deng.

Good bastard today at the United Center, where the Bulls welcome the Jazz, with both teams in need of a win and a match with enough "wood" under the two baskets, since "Bulls" and "Mormons" feature excellent frontline. The hosts are a set that under the guidance of one of the league's defense tactics championships plays cowardly defense, drowning every opponent and especially in Chicago. They have the third best league in 91.4, not allowing opponent to shoot more than 43.5% ( but also over 34.1% to the three-pointers (fifth best) .Also, their attack is the third worst in the league with 92.5, while in bad sucks are their 43.6% ( sixth worst) and seventh worse 34.6% on the three-pointers (and when Bellineli does not break them). Tom Thibodeau has to face Hinrich, Hamilton and Gibson's absences for another match, which means Robinson and Belinelli will start again at the top five with the solutions remaining peripherally on the bench being those of Butler, Teague and Cook.

Utah, on the other hand, is not one of the most consistent defense teams, accepting 98.8 points (in the middle of the table), since it allows 45.8% of opponent attempts to target, but 37.2% (seventh worse ) behind the "bow" .Only there is her aggressively, as she scores 98.7 points (11 the best), with her odds amounting to 45.1% (13 the best) and 36.2% to the threepoints (12 the best ), thus maintaining some balance in her game. The truth is that we are not accustomed to much under this year, however, the first match between the two teams at the Energy Solutions Arena was set at 182 points, with Chicago winning 93-89. Since then, Jazz has questioned Al Jefferson with the information, however, saying he will give normally present.

It is worth mentioning that these are two teams that are both high in the field of rebounds, but also the blocks, so as I said at the beginning I think that on the basis of the remarkable tall players with both of them will fall very "wood" under the two baskets. I will go under 186 that seems fair to me as a line, having great confidence in the defense of the "bulls," which I think will keep under their 90 Jazz points.

This is a very interesting match tonight at Philips Arena where the Hawks will welcome the Bulls. Larry Drew's team returned for good on the hits as it counts four wins in its last five games, dominating within Timberwolves (104-96), Celtics 123-111 doule OT), Raptors (93-92), but also outside the Bobcats (104-92), with the only defeat being in New York (106-104). had since the beginning of the month and which lasted about 20 days, when it measured just three wins in 11 match. The racing rise recorded by "Hawks" could not be credited to the very good appearances of Horford (primarily), Smith and Teague, but Kyle Korver's terrible performance, which struggled with Boston and Charlotte, could not go unnoticed from 20 points, while the other three of 13 and above with its odds are almost everyone. Additionally, all of the aforementioned Atlanta players are the only two-digit number of points (with the exception of injured Lou Williams), with Harris , Johnson and Pachulia to add their own coming from the go where Hawks has the fourth best defense in the East with a record of 16-7 and 26-19 as a whole, which brings them to 6's position as well as one of his best defenses (96 better), allowing the opponent to reach 10% (in the middle of the table) and the ugly 44.4% to the three-pointers (37.7 worse) .This is one of the teams with fewer rebounds in the league, and just as little as 5% (fifth less) if Smith and Horford do not have any players in the roster with particular appeal. Looking forward to the very good rate at which they shoot and reaches the 40.4% which is the sixth best in the league, as well as the great 46% on the tripe mainly due to Korver it brings them to the fifth place on the "bow" in an attack that is not bad at all, since it scores with 38.2 points. In absences, doubt is given to Harris and Pachulia who did not train yesterday, with the first starting at his last and winning team game against Raptors, but maybe pre ylachthei today because of injuries that plagued the year and the second to hopes to return to action tonight.

On the other hand we have the Bulls coming from the defeat in Brooklyn (93-89), in a match that Noah and Boozer were absent, something that will probably happen today. As for the French center, he suffers from a long-term foot problem and precaution will not play, so as not to burden the situation with his foot, since in the 2010-2011 season he lost 2 months due to this problem. In what has to do with his teammate in the frontline of the "bulls" is considered extremely doubtful due injury, which is not something serious, but he still does not want to take risks. Thus, the most likely top five with which Tom Tibodeau will start today is that of Robinson, Hamilton, Deng, Gobson and Mohammed, this that is, which started in yesterday's defeat by the Nets, with the alternatives being limited to Butler, Marquis Teague and Belinelli, since Radmanovic and Cook do not seem to be considered very much. In fact, it is worth mentioning that in a Chicago picked up just 29 rebounds, compared to 40 for the home team, at the moment we are talking about the team with the six most rebounds in the league with an average of 43.7 per game. Today, however, it will face a team with less appeal in the rebounds (compared to the Nets), but the absence of their main duo on the frontline is very serious anyway, as the Frenchman achieves an average of 12.1 points, collecting 11.3 rebounds, while a jazz player adds 15.8 and downloads 9.7 "junk", with the backs of Mohammed and Gibson not being of the quality of the first in any case. The problem of the "reds" acquires even greater dimensions if we take into account their already limited productivity, as they have the fifth worst attack with an average of 93.5 points, shooting with the 10 worst 44% and the 12 worst 35% on three-pointers. We do not need to say much about their defense, since it continues to be in this year as well. in the top five of the league, but it is considered doubtful if with Noah-Boozer outside he will manage to reduce his ... appetites in very good condition Horford-Smith. Apart from the two we mentioned and who however to clarify that they are officially given as doubtful for today, Kirk Hinrich will be out.

I will go with the simple Hawks victory, as the last difficult home win of Atlanta (Raptors, Celtics after two extensions, and Timberwolves), coupled with Chicago's very good appearance in Brooklyn and the decent defeat (with four points) at the time he was out of Boozer-Noah, I am even avoiding this -2.5 handicap. The "Hawks" are in good shape, as are the "bulls", except that the latter will be forced to fight with severe absences, and if Noah is not yet sure, Boozer is almost certain . This will obviously have a big impact on both rebounds and aggressiveness. Lastly, it is worth noting that in the previous two matches each win from an in-home win (92-75 in Atlanta and 97-58 in Chicago).
