Once again the Chicago Bulls are plagued by injuries to it's top players, but this is nothing new. The Bulls have managed to remain competitive in the Eastern Conference despite injuries, not just this season, but for the last several seasons. The are in Philly tonight, and the Sixers aren't likely to pose much of a threat as they still have a draft lottery to think about.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Previous History - The Bulls won all four meetings in this series in 2014, and they've won three of their last four visits to Philly. Chicago plays well on the road, and it's 19 road wins are more than double the Sixers nine victories at home.
2. Aaron Brooks - The veteran PG has done a decent job filling in for Chicago, and he had a big game against the Spurs scoring 22 points on 7-of-12 shooting in just 26 minutes. It was the second time in less than a week that he totaled more than 20 points.
3. X-Factor - Mike Dunleavy should be happy to be back in Philly, he scored a season-high 27 points in a win here earlier in the season.
Selection: This is a play on the Chicago Bulls (10*)
