Chicago Bulls @ San Antonio Spurs, 5:00 p.m. ET
There are superstars in the NBA that have thrived on talent alone. Then there are superstars who have been ultra-talented who have put their bodies in constant harm and played each game like their last. Larry Bird, Allen Iverson and future Hall of Famer, Dwyane Wade.

Dwayne has been the heart and soul of the championship teams he has been a part of. At the tail end of his career, he does fall into that sidekick role with the emergence of Jimmy Butler. Butler is off to a great start to what appears to be a shining future in the NBA. On the other side of the court, is the NBA’s “old reliable,” the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs have been the model franchise over the past decade, the New England Patriots of the NBA. Like the Patriots, the demeanor that the Coach exudes sets the tone for what this team is. If you want frills and razzle-dazzle, then the Spurs are not for you. They bring a fundamentally sound game that is often unmatched and though spectators may become bored out of their minds, it is extremely effective. Look for the Spurs to finish the season as the #2 seed in the Western Conference and punch their ticket to face off with the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals.

Prediction:
By now, it has been a long day. Grab your favorite glass of red, sit back, relax and get ready for a snoozer, as Kawhi Leonard and the Spurs make easy “work” of the Bulls.
