Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan are each scoring over 26 points per game making Chicago difficult to slow down.

Dallas Mavericks at Chicago Bulls storyline to watch: Luka vs. LaVine

The Mavs lost both meetings against the Bulls last season, and have fallen in three straight matchups, but Luka Doncic had 36 points, 16 rebounds, and 15 assists in the only game he played versus Chicago last season. The 22-year-old superstar produced two 35-point triple-doubles in his last three games against the Bulls. Expect Doncic to have a little extra on Wednesday night.

Zach LaVine had a 39-point game against the Mavericks last season, and he currently sits sixth in the league in scoring just behind teammate DeMar DeRozan for fifth. Dallas is going to struggle to guard LaVine and DeRozan on Nov. 10, and they may be forced to use Reggie Bullock a bit more to match up against the Bulls.

The Dallas Mavericks are going to need a monster performance from Luka Doncic in Chicago if they are going to win their fourth straight game. Fans won’t want to miss it as both teams are tied for the third-best record in the NBA, so please tune in and enjoy the show.
