Game Preview The Bulls have been struggling, losing five out of six games recently. Last night they finally earned themselves a victory against the Bucks with a 116-111 home win, without LaMelo Ball or key role player Alex Caruso; however, Zach LaVine appeared healthy upon returning and should play an integral part of this one.
Both teams have struggled on defense recently; Charlotte ranks 27th while Chicago 29th - making this matchup likely to produce high scoring action.
The total for this game has been set at 236.5 points, which may seem high to us; however, we have witnessed Chicago exceed this number in 24 of 32 games so far this season and boast a 14-4 record when playing with an over/under of 220 or greater.
The Charlotte Hornets are coming off of an upset loss against Minnesota Timberwolves, and will look to bounce back against the Bulls. Charlotte has scored only 96 points over its past two games and been held under 100 in three of four outings; Terry Rozier may provide some much-needed offensive help as he averages career highs in points (17.8) and assists (4.1). They average 106.1 points at home - only slightly below their road average; additionally they're grabbing an average of 45.5 rebounds per game; their opponents average 107.1 points on average per game; which would help Charlotte.
