The Chicago Bulls have been playing better basketball as of late, winning two of their last five games, and receiving a great stretch of play from Collin Sexton. The "Young Bull," Sexton, has led the Bulls in scoring in four of the past five games, and is averaging 25 PPG over his last four games.
The Chicago Bulls have been playing better basketball as of late, winning two of their last five games, and receiving a great stretch of play from Collin Sexton. The "Young Bull," Sexton, has led the Bulls in scoring in four of the past five games, and is averaging 25 PPG over this most recent four-game stretch. Sexton went on a heater from the perimeter in Chicago's Sunday night loss to the Sacramento Kings, knocking down a hyper-efficient 7-9 from 3-point range on his way to 28 points, 3 assists and no turnovers in juts 22 minutes of play.
The reason for Sexton's abbreviated minutes was an injury, as he left Sunday's game at the start of the fourth with a lower leg issue.
With Sexton's status uncertain for Tuesday's matchup in San Francisco, Matas Buzelis (20 points, 3 blocks) and Josh Giddey (15-point triple-double) will need to repeat their great performances against Sacramento.
Chicago received next to nothing from the starting frontcourt duo of Guerschon Yabusele and Isaac Okoro on offense, as they combined for 13 points on 3-11 shooting from the field and seven fouls between them (Okoro fouled out).
Billy Donovan may want to shake up the starting lineup in order to spark some inspired play from his young-but-banged-up group, perhaps going with the rim-running presence of Nick Richards.
The Warriors, of course, will be without stars Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler III. Chicago won't be able to take the Warriors--or anyone for that matter--lightly because Golden State is still in the thick of the race for the No. 8 seed in the competitive Western Conference.
Golden State has lost back-to-back games and 7 of their last 10, but they did recently take down the Houston Rockets with Brandin Podziemski scoring 26 points in the win.
