NBA 2021/22 on Tuesday, 03/15/2022
Fans of the Chicago Bulls can rejoice in the game against the Sacramento Kings, because the playoffs are approaching and everything looks like one or two regulars will return in time.
This alone would tip the scales in favor of the home side in my Bulls Kings betting! But there are also other reasons why I have no doubt that Michael Jordan’s ex-team will make the race tonight.
The Bulls are certainly one of the biggest surprises of this NBA season with a record of currently (41-26). However, due to the absences of one or the other key player, the Red and Whites have gone slightly downhill in recent weeks.
Since last Friday, however, Alex Caruso is back! His contribution has immediately led to a turnaround in Chicago’s fortunes. Before Friday, the Bulls had lost each of their last five games, but since then they have won two in a row.
The positive effect of the returnee was already noticeable in the triumph over the Pistons, but in the subsequent 101:91 victory, the “Caruso effect” was fully felt! For this we have clear figures!
In the win over Cavs, the Bulls held an opposing team below the 100-point mark for the first time since January 21. Incidentally, this date is also interesting because Caruso played his last game before his injury on that very day.
In addition, with the help of Caruso’s four steals, Chicago was able to score more than 20 points off of turnovers for the first time since Feb. 16. At that time, they won over the Kings, of all teams.
Now the red and white team has to play against the Sacramento Kings again! I picked this game because DeMar deRozan had one of his best games of the season in the last match-up!
DeMar deRozan is one of the many lucky picks the Bulls bosses were able to land at the beginning of the season and has paid off in full since. Not for nothing, the guard was even invited to the All-Star Game recently.
Since then, deRozan continues to play at the very highest level! For this reason alone, a win tip on the guests would be advisable, but just against Sacramento he made a few weeks ago with 38 points one of his best game in the jersey of the red and white.
In addition, the Californians are completely out of the role! With only two wins from the last ten NBA games and a record of (24-45), the Kings are playing for their honor rather than a realistic chance to make the playoffs.
Another problem on the King’s side is the fact that their best player Domantas Sabonis will most likely be out. Should this actually be confirmed, then a defeat is probably inevitable!
By the way, the Lithuanian allowed himself more than just a peccadillo a few days ago! After a controversial decision during the game against the Knicks, the superstar loudly criticized a decision of the referee and even touched him.
This was followed by a short suspension, which has since passed again, but Sabonis was still not on the floor in yesterday’s defeat against the Jazz! According to reports, he could now also be out against the Bulls!
A freebet is great for beginners to get familiar with online betting just before the playoffs start!
Accordingly, the red and white are considered the favorites to win, while a surprise victory of the home side is currently traded at about 2.65 at the same providers.
Conclusion: If Hitzkopf-Sabonis should return, it will be a closer game, but either way I see the Bulls clearly ahead in the end! That’s because Caruso’s comeback immediately provided the defensive stability the Red and Whites have been craving.
After all, it can’t be a coincidence that Chicago’s win over the Cavs yesterday was the first time they’ve held an opposing team below 100 points since Caruso got hurt in January!
In addition, the guests have already won the last two direct duels. In the last encounter, it was DeMar de Rozan who put in a strong performance.
My Kings Bulls tip is therefore: Chicago wins!
