Prediction

In what should be a good one tonight in Chicago, the superstars should come out to play a big role in this game for both teams.

The Clippers have been lead by Paul George and Kawhi Leonard since they both returned to the line up after long stints out with injury.

Both stars have been great and it has led to the Clippers winning 5 of their last 6 games and have climbed to 4th in the Western Conference.

Leonard has been fantastic, averaging 30 Points per game over the last 5, shooting 63% from the field and 48% from 3.

Leonard is also an excellent on ball defender and will probably have the task of guarding DeMar DeRozan tonight (more on DeMar in a minute).

The other half of the Clippers 1,2 punch is Paul George, who has been just as good.

He is averaging 24 points per game over his last 5 and is complimenting Leonard perfectly, facilitating and shooting.

On the Bulls side, all eyes will be on DeMar DeRozan and how he will assert himself on the offensive end.

He has been great recently and he loves playing the Clippers.

He is averaging 29 Points per game over his last 5 games and the last 2 times he played the Clippers last season, he dropped 35 and 50 respectively.

Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic will have their part to play as well but if the Bulls want to hang around in this game and possibly get a nice win at home, DeRozan is going to have to be great.

On the back of a big performance from DeRozan, the Bulls will keep this one close and possibly even steal this one at home and win outright.

But give me the points.

Bulls +3 (-110)

Player Prop of the Game

DeMar DeRozan o25.5 Points (-118) BetOnline

This shouldn't come as too much of a shock to you 😉

I love DeMar tonight.

DeRozan has 26+ in 5 straight games and cooked the Clippers both games last season.

Kawhi is a great on-ball defender and will make life difficult for DeMar but I still expect DeRozan to have plenty of opportunities to dominate this game and possibly have a huge night at home.

Bonus:

DeRozan 30+ points (+190)

35+ points (+470)
