Chicago Bulls vs Portland Trail Blazers
PREVIEW: The Chicago Bulls travel to face the Portland Trail Blazers Wednesday night at Moda Center, with tipoff set for 10:10 p.m. ET. Chicago sits at 4-6 in the last 10 games with a 1-game winning streak after mercifully ending that brutal 5-game slide. Portland sits at 4-6 in their last 10 games, riding a 3-game losing streak.
Both squads have leaned heavily toward high-scoring affairs, with neither team able to consistently lock down defensively as they prepare for this Pacific Northwest showdown. Bulls games have gone over 8 times and under just twice in the last 10, while Trail Blazers games have also leaned heavily toward overs with 8 overs and 2 unders. Neither team plays defense, with eight of Chicago's last 10 having gone over and eight of Portland's last 10 having gone over, projecting as a track meet where the team that makes one or two more stops wins. ShotQuality data remains unavailable for both teams heading into this matchup. Despite the lack of advanced shot quality metrics, the narrative remains clear: this figures to be a showcase of offensive firepower from two squads desperately seeking consistency down the stretch.
