Daily Bulls

The Chicago Bulls will look to win three straight games for the first time this season on the road against the San Antonio Spurs. Both teams have been trending in the right direction after the Spurs won three out of their last four games, and the Bulls got back to their winning ways with wins against the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers. But the Spurs will be without one of their significant shooters, Devin Vassell, who averages 19.8 points and 5.0 rebounds.

Matchup to Watch

Nikola Vucevic vs Jakob Poeltl

Jakob Poeltl has been a name mentioned in trade talks and could be a big piece for a championship team if he gets traded later in the season. He has earned a double-double in the last three games. After a calm defensive night against the Pacers, Vucevic will be busy against Poeltl. Both big men are in the top ten in the NBA for rebounding, with Vucevic at 11.8 and Poeltl with 10.6 rebounds per game.

Keys to the Game

Don’t fall asleep against the Spurs

Entering the 2022-23 season, the San Antonio Spurs became tankers officially by trading away star Dejounte Murray to the Atlanta Hawks for many draft picks. But the Spurs have a winning record after their first five games, led by Jakob Poeltl and Keldon Johnson. The Spurs are top ten in the NBA at three-point shooting (38.6%) and points per game at 118.

Tomorrow night Chicago will have to go back home and face the 76ers, who are looking to have their breakout game. There will be no days off or, in other words, no more easy wins for the Bulls. Chicago can not fall asleep against a tanking team and a team with nothing to lose.

More than 25 assists as a team

If the Chicago Bulls move the ball and get everybody on the court the ball, they will have a chance to compete against the best in the NBA. During the first half Wednesday night, Chicago assisted on 16 out of their 20 made shots. But once Indiana made their comeback in the third quarter, they became more dependent on shooting from deep instead of moving the ball and finding the right shot.

The Bulls can way some games by isolation, but nobody can stand a chance against the Bulls when the ball is moving. When Chicago records more than 25 assists as a team, they are 2-0, and those two wins have come in the last two games against the Celtics (29) and Pacers (34).
