Preview

The Chicago Bulls will continue their five-game set at Staples Center up tonight when they face the Los Angeles Clippers.

Chicago Bulls

The Bulls opened the season as the surprise of the league, but they enter this bout on the heels of a terrible loss to the Warriors. Stephen Curry added to his MVP campaign with another huge game, and even created an all-time great image along the way.

Zach Lavine is playing the best basketball of his career, and it has the Bulls looking like a real contender out East. The eighth-year guard is averaging 25.7, 5.5 rpg, and 3.8 apg.

Demar DeRozan is enjoying a career revival in the Windy City. The former USC guard is averaging 25.3 ppg, which would mark the second highest mark for his career.

Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso give the Bulls two of the better perimeter defenders in the league. The former Lakers guards have come in and made life easier on the Bulls star scorers

Nikola Vucevic's absence will surely be problematic for this one, as the former All-Star is one of the best rebounders in the league.

Los Angeles Clippers

The Clippers have started the month of November with seven straight wins and they look like a playoff team even without Kawhi Leonard.

Paul George is doing all he can to keep the Clips afloat and he engineered them to a victory Tuesday nitr. After an admirable effort last postseason, the eleventh-year guard will be looked upon nightly for production and leadership. Geore is averaging 26.4 ppg, 8.1 rpg, and 5.5 apg.

The Clippers supporting cast has really waken up this month. Reggie Jackson and Eric Bedsoe have formed a solid two-way backcourt, while Nic Batum and Luke Kennard have been strong on the wings.

Sixth-year big Ivica Zubac has double-doubled in four of the last five games.

Prediction

The Clippers have looked really good this month, but their about to take on a rested, angry Bulls team that's coming off of their worse loss of the season. Even without Nikola Vucevic, Zach LaVine and Demar DeRozan are really appealing in this spot as underdogs. It's a homecoming of sorts for DeRozan and we feel comfortable taking a shot with them tonite. Take their ML this evening.

PICK: Chicago Bulls ML (+145)
