The Hornets are starting to heat up once again, and they are picking the right time to do so. They've won five straight, and now get a Sixers side that may be without Maxey once again. I'll take the team that's healthier and the one with the more efficient offense.

Over the last 10 games, the Bulls have allowed the third-most points per game at 128.1, while the Grizzlies have surrendered the fourth-most at 126.4. In that span, Chicago’s 120.7 defensive rating ranks 24th, and Memphis’ 125.1 defensive rating ranks 28th.

Chicago sports the fastest pace across the last 10 games at 104.8, while Memphis isn’t far behind in ninth with a 101.1 pace. 

Injuries have decimated both teams, and both are playing the second legs of back-to-back sets, but fatigue isn’t something I’m worried about. Memphis players rarely sniff 30 minutes these days, and the roster is one of the youngest in the Association. Chicago is going deep down the bench, so the available players should all have relatively fresh legs.
