Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview

The Nets have lost four out of their last five matchups and have a tough matchup once again to try and break that cycle. In their last battle, they came up short 109-104 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Brooklyn had a 13-point lead at the half and was able to hold onto the lead up until the fourth quarter. The Cavs had 31 points and held the Nets to just 18 in that final period. Cam Thomas led with 27 points on 45.4 percent shooting from the field.

The Cavs dominated in the paint, where they had 52 points whereas the Nets had just 32. It is crazy to think that at one instance in this game, the Nets had established an 18-point lead before blowing it in the fourth.

The Nets are putting up 105.2 points a game, which ranks 29th in the league. Their defense is allowing opposing teams to average 111.5 points each matchup, which puts them at 11th. On both ends of the floor per 100 possessions, their efficiency at each end puts them at 26th overall.

Chicago Bulls Betting Preview

The Bulls are riding a three-game winning streak, having all the momentum coming into this matchup. Their recent success was a 121-103 blowout over the Indiana Pacers.

Chicago took control of this game in the second quarter when they posted 40 points and held the Pacers to 21. Josh Giddey led with 29 points, but missed the rest of the game due to a sprained ankle (same one he injured in the Olympics). Giddey will miss this matchup and potentially more.

The Pacers were held to 39.6 percent shooting overall and 25.0 percent from three point territory. With the Bulls, they connected on half of their field goals and 36.4 percent from beyond the arc. The Bulls did a great job with points in the paint, as they had 68 while the Pacers had 48.

The Bulls are accumulating 116.6 points each barrel, which puts them at ninth. Defensively they rank 29th, as they give up 120.3 points a game. They come in at 22nd for their efficiency on both ends of the floor per 100 possessions.
