Both teams are relatively weak in terms of strength. The Trail Blazers have consistently struggled defensively, and with more time given to young players, their offensive performance is likely to be more active. On the Bulls’ side, their defense is also lacking. This team mainly relies on three-point shooting, and once they find their rhythm during the game, their scoring explosiveness can be very strong. I favor a high-scoring game for this matchup.
