*10* Coach's Playbook UNDER OKC/Chicago.

The Chicago Bulls are coming off an embarrassing 130-105 loss at Charlotte Tuesday while the Oklahoma City Thunder are off back-to-back defeats to Houston and Toronto. Both teams have a 3-2 record for the season, and I think we'll see a tight low-scoring contest between two equally matched teams.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. The Bulls' Defense - Chicago had held each of its first four opponents of the season to 100 points or less before the uncharacteristic blowout loss to the Hornets. They should come out here looking to make a statement on defense.

2. Trends - Each of the Bulls last four at home and four of the last five head-to-head meetings with the Thunder at United Center have gone under the total.

3. X-Factor - The Bulls Derrick Rose had four points on 2-of-8 shooting against the Hornets and has shot 27.6% for 18 points overall this season.

Selection: This is a play on OKC@CHI to go UNDER the total (10*)
