+2 dallas to beat chicago at home
i love nba season, even preseason can make me a lot of money...
today, i am putting a straight wagers on dallas to beat chicago in chicago's home debut. so far, dallas has no injuries, the only injuries for the bulls are aaron gray and drew gooden. the bulls have a very small lineup compared to dallas and they play up tempo fastbreak basketball. the starting center for bulls will be joakim noah, who also has a slight eye injury but is expected to play, the lineups look like this for chicago: noah,deng,tyrus tomas,heinrich, and larry hughes. also going to be making a new debut for chicago will be derick rose. chicago are a very good jump shooting team.
the lineup for dallas will be dirk, kidd, dampier, antoine wright, and josh howard
the key for the dallas mavericks to win the ball game in chicago's stadium will be to have jason kidd pound the ball on the inside to dirk, dampier, and wright, they cannot settle for jumpshots or else chicago will woop their asses, last year, i think chicago beat dallas in preseason, by 8 points at home.
i am going for dallas to win at +2 ,the best tendencie that will cause chicago to win will be if they drive the ball in and kick it out to all of their guards for the 3 point shot. the deciding factor in this game will be who can pound the ball in the middle and go to the freethrow line consistently, settling for jumpshots might work for chicago, but it won't work for dallas, who really don't have any consistent jumpshooters on their squad, jason terry and stackhouse are certainly not consistent, for dallas, brandon bass may be a big factor if he can put a lot of points on the board for them. the starters probably won't go more than 3 quarters in this game.
