These are two offenses in the bottom half of the NBA this season in efficiency, though Charlotte's been better than Chicago. On the other side, Chicago has been good defensively, particularly at home. This is also the third time these teams have played already this season, so they're familiar with each other. The last meeting was a shooting combining for 230 but I look for a lower scoring game here.
. Toss in tired legs for both teams, and I'm anticipating an ugly lower scoring game in Chicago on Friday night.
