The Chicago Bulls will play the Orlando Magic tonight from across the border in Mexico City, Mexico at the Arena Ciudad de Mexico. Bulls come in at 6-22 and the O-Magic at 12-15 with the Bulls trying to find their identity and the O-Magic trying to get inside and stay inside that Top 8 in the east.
Bulls stretch 4 Lauri Markkanen has been hitting his stride and Zach LaVine and Jabari Parker have make up that top 3 scoring punch for the Bulls. Justin Holiday has been the most consistent Bulls player from the jump and his consistent shooting from the arc has been vital to the Bulls offense. Now they just need to figure things out on that defensive end and protect the rim.
The O-Magic has two possible All-Stars in Center Nikola Vucevic and SF Aaron Gordon and they follow their lead. Both shooting guards for Orlando Evan Fournier (15.1 ppg) and Terrence Ross (14.1 ppg) have been steady with smooth PG play from the well-traveled D.J. Augustin. This will be the first meeting in the 2k18-19 season for both.

PLAYBOOK
Bulls go through Lauri Markkanen, Zach LaVine and Jabari Parker on Offense...which guard steps up?
Magic Gordon, Vucevic, Fournier and Ross are the Big 4 and the Bulls must slow down two of the four and Fournier and Ross shoot the money ball...
Huge crowd expected and both the Bulls and Magic will have to adapt to those surroundings and the depth perception in all arenas is different...
Bulls Bench Mob led by Bobby Portis vs the Magic Bench led by Jonathan Isaac, former Bull Jerian Grant and Magic 2k18 first rounder Mo Bamba...who wins?
Transition Buckets vs Transition Defense...
Half Court Execution as the Magic love going through Vucevic do the Bulls double him...and the Bulls love going through Markkanen on the wing "Iso" are on the block...player movement without the Spalding orange is vital...
Free Throw Shooting...80% or better who wins?
Can Chicago shoot it from deep with a nice percentage?
Magic has some high-flyers in Gordon, Ross and Simmons among others...can the Bulls slow them down and limit their "Splash Plays"?
