Sacramento
This matchup does not bode well for the Kings. The total is set at only 190 points, the Kings are 8.5 point underdogs, and the Bulls have the 2nd best defense in the NBA. The Kings are an easy team to avoid tonight. Save yourself some time and just move on to the next team.
Chicago
The Bulls have a nice matchup tonight against the Kings who are giving up 103.6 points per game and are ranked 18th or worse against PG’s, SG’s, SF’s, and Centers. Joakim Noah has the toughest matchup on the board, but I have a feeling that Noah will outplay Cousins just like he outplayed Dwight the other night. D.J. Augustin is playing over 30 minutes per game now and makes a nice play off the bench. Jimmy Butler and Mike Dunleavy both make solid options at SG and SF. Finally, Carlos Boozer broke out of his slump the other night, I like the matchup tonight against the Kings.
