The Bulls are just looking to stay in the Eastern Conference top six at this point. They’re tied with Toronto for fifth, two games up on seventh place Cleveland. In the West, the Clippers are pretty well “stuck” in eighth, four games ahead of ninth place New Orleans, but 5.5 games back of Minnesota. Finishing 8th is fine as it’ll give LA two shots in the play-in round to make the playoffs.

The Clippers had lost five in a row before coming back from 25 down to defeat Utah Tuesday night. The Bulls also won on Tuesday, albeit by a much more comfortable margin. The final score in Washington was 107-94.

The last three Clippers games have all gone Over. The last three Bulls games have all gone Under. Something will have to give in that regard tonight.

Paul George is back for LA, which is huge. He scored 34 points in 31 minutes against the Jazz. Chicago has three scorers that can lead the way on any given night: DeRozan, Vucevic and LaVine.

Neither team impressed me much at the defensive end. The Clippers just allowed Utah to shoot 55%. In four of the five games before that, they gave up at least 120 points. The Bulls have allowed 120 or more six times this month. The Over is 13-5 in their home games this season when the total is 220 or more. Take the Over.
