Bulls at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 116, Hornets 109

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value in betting the Bulls (-185) against a Hornets team that is 5-17 at home this season and 2-8 in their last 10 games overall.

Against the spread

BET BULLS -4.5 (-110).

The Bulls are 24-23-1 ATS this season, while the Hornets are 16-29 ATS this season. Chicago has covered the spread in 4 of its last 6 games, including 3 of its last 4 while playing as the favorite and 3 of its last 4 on the road. Charlotte is just 2-8 ATS in its last 10, including 1-4 ATS in its last 5 home games. Without Ball, who is averaging nearly 24 points per game, Charlotte will struggle to keep up against a Bulls team that is looking to get back in the win column.

Over/Under

BET OVER 217.5 (-105).

The Bulls have scored 113 or more points in 7 of their last 10 games while allowing 109 or more in 8 of their last 10. Charlotte has allowed 113 or more in 8 of its last 10. While Chicago may be forced to carry most of the point-scoring load, at a total as low as 217.5, it is more than capable of doing so.
