The Chicago Bulls will be away to the Sacramento Kings looking to split this NBA regular season series. They arrive for this match as the ninth-best ranked team in the Eastern Conference while the Kings are sixth in the West. The Kings won the reverse match back in February 123-115. This was their fourth successive win against the Bulls and they will be confident of another victory. Mike Brown’s men got back to winning ways last time out thanks to a morale-boosting 124-120 victory over the Timberwolves. That road victory ended a two-game skid and got the Kings back to the automatic playoff places. De'Aaron Fox has missed the last two games with a knee injury and is a doubt to feature against the Bulls. The Kings are averaging 118.2 points and when at home, this improves to 121.6.

The Chicago Bulls are beginning a four-match road trip to the West. They have struggled against such teams and at the moment have compiled a 12-10 record against them. The Bulls are coming off a 113-97 defeat to the Bucks to conclude a three-game homestand. It was the fifth loss in their last eight games and saw them drop to four games below .500. Chicago are two games above the 10th-placed Hawks and four from dropping out of the playoff places. Billy Donovan’s side has been blighted by injuries all through the season. For this match, four players are ruled out with Alex Caruso a potential fifth. The guard is managing a hamstring issue and has a 50% chance of playing. The Bulls are ranked 25th on offence and are scoring 111.7 points a game.
