Hornets vs Bulls Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
CHI Bulls +8.5(-110)

The Chicago Bulls find themselves on a 9-game losing streak as they host the Charlotte Hornets. There are positive signs for them, however, with the return of Josh Giddey to the squad from injury. The Australian guard has appeared in each of their last 3 games and should have shaken off any rust he had. They do have some injuries to their bigs with Zach Collins out and Jalen Smith listed as questionable. However, with experienced centers in Nick Richards and Guerschon Yabusele ready to step in, they should be able to hold their own. Moussa Diabate will be back for the Hornets from suspension, but he is far from a dominant inside scorer so the Bulls pair should not have issues matching up against him.

The Hornets made a surprising surge up the rankings around the All-Star break but there are signs they are slowing down. Over the last 5 games they have been 15th in net offensive and defensive rating and have lost 3 of those games. The Bulls have been respectable at home this season with a .500 record so they should be no pushovers. The hosts have had issues taking care of the ball, ranking 29th in opponent points off turnovers over the last 10 games. However, the Hornets have struggled scoring off turnovers during that stretch so the hosts could get away with it today. Take the points with the Bulls in this one.

Hornets vs Bulls prediction: Bulls +8.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to +7.5.

Germantas Kneita

Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.
