What you need to know about the Bulls
The Milwaukee Bucks typically have all the answers at home, but on Wednesday the Bulls proved too difficult a challenge. Chicago won 119-113 over Milwaukee in overtime. Chicago's small forward DeMar DeRozan was on fire, dropping a double-double on 42 points and 10 rebounds in addition to five assists.
It was Chicago's fourth win in its last five games and DeRozan has been critical during that stretch, averaging 30.0 points, 6.8 assists and 6.6 rebounds per game. Zach LaVine has also been stepping his game up during the month of December, averaging 23.8 points per game while shooting 51.1% from the floor and 41.9% from the 3-point line.
What you need to know about the Pistons
Meanwhile, the Pistons ended the year with a bang, routing the Orlando Magic 121-101 on Wednesday. Their point guard Alec Burks looked sharp as he shot 6-for-7 from beyond the arc and finished with 32 points. Saddiq Bey also had 28 points and the Pistons finished with a staggering 76 bench points on the night with both their two leading scorers playing from the second unit.
The game was ultimately won at the 3-point line, with Detroit shooting 18-of-42 from beyond the arc while Orlando went 5-for-22. Chicago ranks 30th in the NBA in 3-point attempts per game (28.9), so expect the Pistons to try to get up a lot of shots from deep to try to tip the scales in their favor from deep yet again.
