Dallas Mavericks vs. Chicago Bulls Starting 5s
Mavericks - PG: Luka Doncic, SG: Spencer Dinwiddie, SF: Tim Hardaway, PF: Dorian Finney-Smith, C: Dwight Powell
Bulls - PG: Alex Caruso, SG: Zach LaVine, SF: DeMar DeRozan, PF: Javonte Green, C: Nikola Vucevic
Mavericks vs. Bulls Prediction
The Mavericks' star player this season has been point guard Luka Doncic. In the team's most recent victory over the Denver Nuggets, Doncic led the charge with an impressive 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists. The Bulls don't quite have any players at Doncic's level at the moment which does not bode well for them tonight.
The Bulls' comeback against the Wizards has provided them with some momentum ahead of tonight's showdown. However, they are 2-4 in their past six games and have been hampered by the long-term absence of star point guard Lonzo Ball. Even with the home field advantage, the Bulls' chances of beating a relatively healthy Dallas team seem slim.
Prediction: Mavericks +1 (-110)
