My Prediction
Chicago Bulls by 4Ladies and gentlemen, don't touch that dial, we've got a humdinger of a match on our hands! The Portland Trail Blazers will be heading into the Windy City to take on the Chicago Bulls in a clash of East Coast versus West Coast. The Trail Blazers have been pretty solid with the likes of Deni Avdija putting up a remarkable 23.5 points and 10.1 rebounds a game, basically making 'double-double' his middle name. Shaedon Sharpe and Anfernee Simons also pitch in with strong contributions consistently throughout the season. But they haven't had it all their own way, as reflected in their 33-43 regular season record.
Now for the Bulls, we have the young and fiery Josh Giddey leading the charge who seemingly can't stop playing hot potato with the ball as he amassed 9.5 assists alongside his 20.2 points. Coby White has been throwing fireballs from god knows where, scoring an astounding 27.8 points per game. The Bulls have been hit or miss, though, with a season record of 34-42.
Let's not forget the history between these two outfits. From their past face-offs, it has been a neck-and-neck combat, with both teams splitting wins. But will history echo itself tonight or will it be swept under the bridge like yesterday's news?
The Trail Blazers have been blowing hot and cold recently while the Bulls have some explosive wins under their belt. This one feels tighter than my pants after the holiday season, and I advise you not to make any early calls. Despite the jittery figures in positions, the Bulls just might have the upper... hoof, should I say?
So for those biting their nails, here it comes.
Albert’s Prediction: Chicago Bulls by 4.
