🏆 TournamentNBA Regular Season Match

These two teams have come head to head a total of 129 times in regular season games, with the Chicago Bulls taking 69 wins over the LA Clippers’ 60 wins. However, this statistic is historical, reaching all the way back to the 1970s. When analysing more recent results, across the past three NBA seasons, the LA Clippers have won 5 of the last 6 games. This is the first time the two sides will meet this season, so let’s delve deeper into their current form to see if that could give some indication as to how this match will end.

 

Team Form and Likely Line ups

 

Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls are not having their best season so far, as they are sitting at tenth position in the Eastern Conference and have lost more games than they have won thus far this season. They did, however, win their most recent match and regularly score over 100 points in a game.

When it comes to the Chicago Bulls line up, with top player Josh Giddey currently out with a hamstring injury, it looks like Trey Jones will be stepping up to start the game. Thankfully Coby White is now back to full fitness after suffering some calf tightness over the new year period.

Likely Chicago Bulls Line Up:

  • Guards: Trey Jones, Coby White
  • Centre: Nikola Vucevic
  • Forwards: Isaac Okoro, Matas Buzelis

 

LA Clippers

Like the Bulls, the LA Clippers have also lost more games than they have won thus far this season and are currently sitting at 11th position in the Western Conference table. However, they are currently enjoying a short winning streak, having won their last three games.

Centre Kawhi Leonard has been struggling recently with a right ankle sprain, so it’s likely that Kobe Sanders will replace him in the Clippers’ starting lineup. Unfortunately Bogdan Bogdanovic, Derrick Jones Junior are also out with injuries, while of course the Clippers have lost Bradley Beal for the remainder of this season following his hip fracture in November.

Likely LA Clippers Line Up:

  • Guards: James Harden, Kris Dunn
  • Centre: Kobe Sanders
  • Forwards: John Collins, Ivica Zubac

Prediction for Chicago Bulls vs LA Clippers

Having carefully considered the current form of each team, it is time to make our Bulls vs Clippers prediction. When it comes to Bulls vs Clippers betting tips it’s going to be difficult to call which team will win this game, as both teams are fairly evenly matched. That is why we think it would be wise to look for bet selections that can win regardless of which team wins the game.

Given that both teams are struggling with injuries at the moment and are not netting particularly impressive points totals in their matches, I think we can take a look at some ‘under’ total points markets for this game. Therefore, my betting prediction is that we see a fairly low-scoring game here: total points under 235.5.
