CHI vs HOU Dream11 Prediction NBA Live, Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Chicago Bulls vs Houston Rockets

CHI vs HOU Dream11: COVID-19 has hurt team combinations and now with postponements on a regular basis, predicting, writing, and evaluating the league has become a painstaking task. Still, you have to keep on trying, like the players, league administration, and various people associated with or interested in the NBA.

In this game, the Chicago Bulls host the Houston Rockets. The Bulls have just received their key players back but these days you never know if a player can get health & safety protocols repeatedly. Thus, a cloud of uncertainty hovers in this pandemic-infused environment.

Houston Rockets have still been away from COVID-19 but injuries to players like Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr, who are the two starting youngsters in the backcourt diminishes the developmental plans. Still, it is not like the rest of the league has been given much room for environment by the cursed COVID-19

Host: Chicago Bulls
Visitors: Houston Rockets
Match Timing: 18 December, @ 10:30 PM
Venue: United Center

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Bulls: COVID-19 disturbed them
Chicago started the season with 17 wins and 8 losses record but then COVID-19 hit them badly. Bulls’ campaign was moving in a great direction, but the pandemic has become an expert at destroying plans. Chicago will hope(against hope?) that LaVine, Ball, Vucevic, Derrick Jones Jr., Alex Caruso, and JaVonte Green remain active and not only them but we have had enough of this annoying COVID-19 surge, I am talking about it so much because it has encroached all of the rhythms.

Rockets: They are no pushovers these days
Houston won seven in a row from late November to around the second week of December. The lineup of Tate, Matthews, Gordon, Wood, Kenyon Martin, Christopher, Brooks, Porter Jr. earlier, Augustin, and Sengun largely accomplished this streak and Christian Wood paired up with Eric Gordon to form an effective inside and outside the offensive system. Now, with Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. out, the coaching staff can be a bit disappointed that the rebuild has taken a slight pause. Yes, winning and all is fine but Houston is in the rebuilding mode.
