The analysis Model

A wide-open game: the model barely separates the two teams. The model projects Bulls 115 – 116 Warriors, a margin of about 0.0 points in favor of the Warriors and a total around 231 points. Expect a game at a standard NBA pace. The Warriors played yesterday: fatigue often shows in the fourth quarter.

  • The Bulls need to win the pace battle to stay in the game.
  • The Bulls' offense (118.3 pts/game) is the more productive of the two.
  • The Warriors' defense allows clearly fewer points (111.9 pts/game).
