Los Angeles Clippers by 10
Well, my Aunt Gertrude could probably tell you what's going to happen here, but let's break this down for the non-sporting types out there.
The Los Angeles Clippers have quite the roster. With James "Harden as nails" as their headline act, dropping an impressive 23.0 points per game in the last month. Throw in Norman Powell, who's been lighting up the court with 26.3 points a game this month, and Ivica Zubac rounding out the trio with a double-double of 16.8 points and 12.6 rebounds. It's pretty clear that the Clippers aren't playing bingo at the senior center.
The Bulls, bless their cotton socks, have put up a fight this season albeit with less success. The dynamic Zach LaVine is doing his part, knocking down 23.0 points per game this past month, with Josh Giddey and Nikola Vučević putting up respectable numbers too.
The Clippers have generally gotten the best of the Bulls in their past confrontations, like a big brother who won't let the little one touch his comic book collection. Throw in the Clippers' superior regular season record and their top-dog status in the Western Conference, it's hard to bet against them, despite a recent dip in form.
On the other hand, the Bulls are like a reality show that's struggling in the ratings, sitting at a distant 10th in the Eastern Conference. Their recent results have been patchier than a discount quilt, which doesn't exactly inspire hymns of praise.
And so, with the air of a man revealing a magic trick, my prediction is:
