Chicago Bulls vs Sacramento Kings preview

The Bulls will play the second leg of a back-to-back after losing 127-121 to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. Coby White and Nikola Vucevic had 24 points each, while Josh Giddey came off the bench for 22 points, seven assists and seven rebounds.

Chicago has won six of the past 10 games and is tied with the Miami Heat for the ninth spot. It is 2.5 games behind the eighth-placed Orlando Magic. If it can end the final 13 games on a positive note, it could finish in the seventh or the eighth spot, which would give the team two shots in the play-in tournament.

The Kings will play the second straight night as well. They defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 123-119 on the back of a strong second half where they outscored Cleveland 76-63. DeMar DeRozan led the team with 27 points, while Malik Monk had 22 points.

Thursday’s game will be the first between the two teams since Chicago traded Zach LaVine to the Kings. LaVine missed Wednesday’s game with an undisclosed personal reason. His status for Thursday’s game is not known yet.

Coby White’s points total is set at 23.5. The oddsmakers don’t favor him to go over, but we feel this is a good spot to take a risk and bet on the over.

DeMar DeRozan’s points total is set at 23.5. He had a good game against the Cavs and should continue the good form against his former team. Bet on the over.
