It is hard to assign Houston’s struggles to Fred Van Vleet’s season-long absence, given the Rockets’ real problems are defensive, but whatever the reason, it has to be noted that Houston has stumbled to a 4-12 against the spread record since early December.

The Bulls rank as the 2nd-highest scoring offense in the NBA over the last 15 games while on the road.. The Bulls have played at the 2nd-most up-tempo tempo in the league on the road this year.. The matchup vs. Houston may be a strong one for getting to the foul line; the other team's starting SGs have attempted an enormous 4.4 foul shots per game over the last 5 games when the Rockets are playing at home (4th-most in the NBA).

The Rockets will likely see a rise in plays in this contest from competing against the 2nd-quickest tempo road team in the league this year (the Bulls).. The Houston Rockets rank as the best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to new chances for scoring and assists).

The Chicago Bulls will likely suffer a reduction in plays today from squaring off against the most lethargic tempo offense in the NBA over the last 25 games (the Rockets).. Offensive rebounds maintain possession and generate additional chances for scoring and assists, but the Bulls rank 7thworst in in the NBA without the home court advantage with just 10.0 offensive rebounds per game this year.
