Clippers at Bulls 12/14/19 - NBA Picks & Predictions

The United Center will play host to a Saturday night NBA clash between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Chicago Bulls. This will be the second of a back-to-back on the road for Los Angeles, who withstood a late charge from Minnesota and held on for a 124-117 road victory. The Clippers led by 21 points entering the fourth quarter and shot 49 percent overall.

Los Angeles F Paul George tallied a game high 46 points on 17-for-31 shooting and dished out seven assists. Kawhi Leonard contributed 42 points and 11 rebounds for the Clippers.

The Chicago Bulls were predicted to challenge for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, but have lost 18 of their first 27 games. Last night, Chicago managed just ten points during the third quarter of an ugly 83-73 home loss versus Charlotte. The Bulls were dominated on the glass by a 60-45 margin and shot a season-low 30 percent from the field.

Chicago G Zach LaVine matched a team high with 12 points on a woeful 4-for-19 shooting performance. Wendell Carter Jr. added six points and 11 rebounds in a losing effort for the Bulls.
