On May 15, as part of the regular season, the NBA will host a game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Chicago Bulls. We offer you a forecast for this match.
Brooklyn Nets»
Most likely, Irving will not play in the match against Chicago, but the entire star trio of Brooklyn has recovered for the playoffs. Irving, Harden, and Durant, of course, will accept nothing but championship rings. At least until the conference finals, "Brooklyn" must crawl, and then anything can happen.
Chicago Bulls»
Chicago's recent games have been successful, but the finishing spurt started too late. Catching up with "Washington" is almost certainly not possible. However, "Chicago" should not be very upset. After all, hardly anyone expected a spurt from the Bulls this season, but in the summer you can think carefully and take a step forward.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
- Dinwiddie (knee injury), Harris (hip injury), Chiozza (hand injury) – Brooklyn. Brown (ankle injury) – Chicago.
Statistics and figures:
- Brooklyn won three games in a row;
- Chicago has one loss in its last five games;
- Brooklyn has won four of its last five games against Chicago.
Forecast:
By this game, it's almost certain that Chicago will officially lose its chance of making the play-in round. However, no one is surprised by this. Avalanche's illness has confused the Bulls, but these guys are looking good right now. We think that even if Brooklyn wins, it won't make it too big.
