New Orleans 97 Chicago 91 @ Time: 8:30 PM (eastern time) PLace: The United Center TV: Local ------------------ Records: NO- 13-7 Chi- 5-13 ---------------- Last Meeting: Chi 109-106 ----------------- Probable Starting Line-ups: Baron Davis/Jamal Crawford David Wesley/Kendall Gill George Lynch/Linton Johnson P.J. Brown/Courie Blount Jamaal Magloire/Eddy Curry ------------------------------- Injury Report: NO: SF-Jamal Mashburn/Knee/Out SG-Courtney Alexander/Achilles'/Out C-James Lang/Back/Out CHI: SG-Scottie Pippen/Knee/Questionable SF-Eddie Robinson/Virus/Questionable PF-Tyson Chandler/Back/IR SG-Chris Jefferies/Back/IR PG-Roger Mason/Groin/IR PG-Jay Williams/Knee, hip/Out -------------------------------------------- Matchup to Watch: Vs. Baron Davis and Jamal Crawford are both players that can explode for 30 on any given night, i think they will control this game. ------------------------------------------------ Keys to the Game: NO- Get Baron Davis going and dont let Crawford and Curry get going, they need to hit their shots and they cant come into the game thinking they have an automatic win because the Bulls almost beat Philly the other night and they have already beaten NO this year, they also need to keep Jerome Williams of the glass. They need someone else to step up and help Baron Davis carry the load Chicago- JAMAL CRAWFORD! he needs to hit his shots and not lose confidence if he is benched, he also needs to try to find Eddy Curry down low. They need to play with toughness and solid defense for any chance to win. ----------------------- My prediction: New Orleans wins this one 94-90 Official preview right Here
wow we have alot of injured players... Also, Skiles said he wants to use Jerome Williams energy off the bench so will not likely start

Did Crawford get injured? I was watching the play-by-play and they took a full timeout and replace Crawford w/ hinrich 4 minutes into the game and Crawford didnt have a foul. was he injured? -Edit-Nevermind, he came back in.
