The Evans-Rose matchup will be very fun to watch. I'll take the Bulls by 2. Boozer will dominate his matchups IMO.

Deng will be the difference maker in this game. Kings cannot match-up with him.

I believe they will go:
Rose-Thornton
Hamilton/Deng-Evans/Salmons
Boozer-Hayes
Noah-Cousins
Salmons had a VERY BAD game and may not start. If not, JJ Hickson would probably get the start. Deng will be tough but Tyreke can handle him, if they go that route.
The Bulls are a TOUGH matchup for the Kings though. Noah cannot handle Cousins and if Thornton and Evans are hot, Rose cannot handle them. Whoever has the hot hand, will win this game.
