Needing to get wins to keep pace for the first seed, this should be an easy win for the Thunder. The Bulls are on the opposite side of the NBA highway. Just a bunch of guys out there playing for their next contract, aside from Giddey and Buzelis. Expect OKC to get a pretty easy victory here. Considering it’s fully healthy. Gilgeous-Alexander shouldn’t be asked to play in the fourth quarter.
Prediction: Thunder 125, Bulls 103
