Bulls vs Pelicans Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
NO Pelicans +5.5(-110)

The Chicago Bulls will travel to New Orleans this Monday to take on the Pelicans. The Pelicans will be looking to snap their 9-game losing streak, while Chicago will be looking to win its fourth game in 5 attempts. The Pelicans are coming off a 115-98 loss to the Hawks. Derik Queen led the Pelicans in scoring with 20 points and 9 rebounds. Queen has averaged 23.3 points per game in his last 3. The Bulls won their last game against the Washington Wizards 121-120, with Nikola Vucevic going for 28 points and 12 rebounds. Josh Giddey has been the Bulls best player this season. He has averaged 20.4 points, 10.1 rebounds and 9.7 assists per game.

Not a lot has gone right to start the season for the New Orleans Pelicans. This team needs to break their long losing streak, and they have the opportunity to do that tonight against the Bulls. The Bulls have won three of 3 last 4 games, but in all 3 wins there were red flags. Their 2 wins against the Denver Nuggets and the Portland Trail Blazers included blowing a double-digit fourth-quarter lead before eventually walking away with the win. And in its most recent victory, Chicago trailed heading into the fourth quarter against the 1-15 Wizards. The Bulls have shot 45% from the field and 33% from 3-point percentage in their last 4 games, both significant drops from their season averages. They have also allowed their opponents to score an average of 127.8 points per game in that period. Zion Williamson’s return to the court should help the Pelicans. This will be his third game back from injury after averaging 18 points per game in his first 2. He is paired with Queen, who has scored more than 20 points in hi last 3 outings. The Bulls were on a 5-game losing streak before beating Denver, and if things went slightly different, that losing streak could have been longer. I’m going to side with the Pelicans plus the points on their home floor.
