MAGIC - BULLS PREVIEW

 

ESPN GO.com

Friday, April 5, 2013

 

Despite being short-handed for weeks, the Chicago Bulls have remained in contention for home-court advantage in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

 

After earning a key win in that race last time out, the Bulls will try to take advantage of a visit from the lowly Orlando Magic on Friday night.

 

The Bulls had five players inactive Thursday but managed to earn a 92-90 win at Brooklyn that moved them within 1 1/2 games of the fourth-place Net.

 

Next up for the Bulls (41-33) is matchup with the Magic (19-57), losers of 11 of 12.

 

Orlando couldn't take advantage of a short-handed San Antonio squad in a 98-84 road defeat Wednesday. The Spurs, who were missing stars Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, took control with a 15-2 run in the fourth quarter.

 

"We know what we're capable of but we're not playing the way we can," point guard Beno Udrih said. "The first three quarters we (played well) and the last quarter, we made a couple of mistakes. We were not focused enough."

 

The Magic have been dealing with injuries of their own, namely to leading scorer Arron Afflalo (hamstring) and point guard Jameer Nelson (ankle). That's hardly helped Orlando on the road, where it's dropped nine straight and 23 of 26.

 

The Magic, who lost 10 in a row on the road Jan. 14-Feb. 22, have dropped 44 of 51 overall. However, they've lost their two matchups with the Bulls this season by a combined eight points.

With Rose, Noah, Hamilton, Gibson, and Belinelli all out tonight, I'm at least willing to say we have a chance. Will we take advantage of this? Probably not, but you never know. I'm predicting a big night from Tobias tonight, he's been slumping the last few games.
