Chicago Bulls vs. Dallas Mavericks preview
The Chicago Bulls are riding high on a four-game winning streak, capped by a thrilling buzzer-beater victory against the Lakers, as they welcome the Dallas Mavericks to the United Center.
Josh Giddey's recent triple-double and Coby White's consistent scoring have been instrumental in the Bulls' late-season surge, propelling them to the 9th spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Mavericks, meanwhile, are clinging to the final play-in tournament spot in the West, with Anthony Davis leading the charge despite the team's injury woes.
Dallas has historically had the edge in this matchup, winning the last three encounters, including a dominant 119-90 victory earlier this season.
However, the Bulls' home-court advantage and newfound momentum could prove decisive in what promises to be a high-scoring affair, given both teams' recent offensive outputs.
Keep an eye on the Mavs' Jaden Hardy, who's been a spark off the bench, and the Bulls' Kevin Huerter, who's finding his rhythm at the right time.
With Chicago's uptempo style (third-fastest pace in the league) and Dallas' recent defensive struggles, expect a shootout that could go down to the wire.
This interconference clash might just be a preview of the intensity we'll see in the upcoming play-in tournament, with both teams fighting tooth and nail for playoff positioning.
