Bulls vs. Spurs Preview: Chicago Faces Victor Wembanyama and San Antonio Tonight
Chicago Bulls vs. San Antonio Spurs preview: The 1-8 Bulls host the 9-2 Spurs at United Center at 7:00 PM CT, with Victor Wembanyama's dominance, Chicago's frontcourt and bench, and the injury report all in focus heading into tonight's matchup.
Chicago Bulls vs. San Antonio Spurs preview, Digi Mart USA News (Chicago): The 1-8 Chicago Bulls face the reigning Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs, who are led by Victor Wembanyama, at United Center. Tip-off is set for 7:00 PM CT, with the game broadcast on Chicago Sports Network and audio available on 104.3 FM The Score.
Wembanyama is a difficult matchup for the Bulls. Chicago lacks frontcourt strength and has allowed the third-most points in the paint per game this season.
The return of Nic Claxton this weekend gives the Bulls another long defender, but Wembanyama scored 40 points in 25 minutes on 15-of-19 shooting in his most recent game.
To beat the Spurs, Chicago will need to space the floor and make three-pointers, an area in which the Bulls have been among the league’s weakest this year. The Bulls’ defense ranks 30th in the NBA.
San Antonio’s backcourt also presents problems. De’Aaron Fox is one of the fastest players in the league, and Dylan Harper is an efficient driver.
The Spurs average the most fastbreak points in the NBA at 18.9 per game, so Chicago’s transition defense will be tested.
Chicago’s best chance may come from its second unit. The Spurs average the seventh-fewest bench points per game, while the Bulls rank 11th in bench scoring.
Chicago will need to take advantage of the stretches when Wembanyama is off the floor to keep the game competitive.
Starting lineups. Chicago: Josh Giddey, Isaac Okoro, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson and Jalen Smith. San Antonio: De’Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle, Julian Champagnie and Victor Wembanyama.
Injury report. Chicago: Caleb Wilson is questionable (hip), Zach Collins is questionable (illness), Dailyn Swain is questionable (disc), Norman Powell is out (back) and Tobe Awaka is out (back). San Antonio: Devin Vassell is out (adductor), Tobias Harris is out (calf) and Jayden Quaintance is out (knee).
