Chicago at New Orleans

Things couldn't get much worse for New Orleans. They had gotten off to a fast 8-3 start, but suddenly have dropped four straight. Injuries have piled up as Stojakvic and West (35 ppg between them) have missed the past two games with West missing five all together. It got worse as Bobby Jackson will likely miss tonight's game as well with bruised ribs sustained in the last game. What it all has meant is New Orleans is now scoring 75 ppg in the last two and in the 70s for the last four. Chicago after going through a horrible 0-6 slide of thier own, has gotten back on track and has now won two straight. This is the time to go against New Orleans, because without these players, there just isn't enough firepower to stay with anyone, and we have seen that over the last four, and the Bulls will make it five tonight.
