Chicago Bulls vs OKC Thunder preview

The Bulls saw their four-game winning streak snapped in a 120-119 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. Still, they enter Monday’s matchup with momentum, having won nine of their 14 games in March.

Giddey has played a key role in Chicago’s strong month, averaging 20.9 points, 9.8 rebounds and 8.9 assists. At 33-41, the Bulls are in a strong position to secure a play-in spot, holding a 6.5-game lead over the No. 11 Toronto Raptors.

OKC, meanwhile, has been even hotter. The Thunder have won nine straight, outscoring opponents by a combined 225 points this month — an average margin of victory of 15.0 per game.

They have already set a franchise record for wins and clinched the Western Conference’s top seed but remain focused on finishing strong while testing their roster depth.
