Chicago Bulls vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction

🔮 Expert Prediction

The key matchup tonight has to be DeMar DeRozan against Desmond Bane. Bane's been back for a few games now, trying to shake off that ankle rust, and he'll have his hands full with DeRozan, who just dropped 27 points against the Pacers on Wednesday. The Bulls, frankly, are a mess, losing six of their last seven, including a 124-132 overtime defeat to the Clippers. The Grizzlies aren't much better, though, splitting their last six with some surprisingly competitive play despite their record.

Here's the thing: Both teams are playing out the string. Memphis, however, seems to find a way to make these games interesting, even with half their roster out. The Bulls, meanwhile, look like they've mentally checked out. I'm taking the Grizzlies in a minor upset. Memphis wins 108-104.
