What to Know

The Chicago Bulls and the Oklahoma City Thunder will face off at 8 p.m. ET Feb. 12 at United Center without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. The Bulls know how to get points on the board — the team has finished with flashy point totals in its past three matchups — so hopefully Oklahoma City likes a good challenge.

Chicago didn’t have too much trouble with the Minnesota Timberwolves at home this past Friday as they won 134-122. It was another big night for Chicago’s small forward DeMar DeRozan, who had 35 points and six assists along with six rebounds. The contest made it Deebo’s fifth in a row with at least 31 points.

Meanwhile, OKC ended up a good deal behind the Philadelphia 76ers when they played this past Friday, losing 100-87. Center Derrick Favors (16 points), power forward Aleksej Pokusevski (15 points), small forward Luguentz Dort (15 points), and power forward Darius Bazley (14 points) were the top scorers for Oklahoma City.

Chicago is the favorite in this one, with an expected 10-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (24-12), so they might be worth a quick bet.

The Bulls are now 35-21 while the Thunder sit at 17-38. A pair of offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Chicago ranks first in the league when it comes to field goal percentage, with 48.30% on the season. On the other end of the spectrum, OKC has only been able to knock down 41.70% percent of their shots, which is the lowest field goal percentage in the league. We’ll see if Chicago’s 6.60% advantage translates to a win.
