Betting on the Chicago Bulls
- Season record: 22-25.
The Chicago Bulls were not able to extend a streak of 3 wins in a row after falling surprisingly against Indiana Pacers in their last game. Incredibly, they lost the game after a 12-point lead for most of the game and were overtaken by the locals, who put an end to their good results.
Chicago has had these problems throughout the campaign, and those problems are often provoked by their lack of consistency in defense. In fact, they rank 18th overall in defensive average, with an average of 114.7 points allowed per game. Offensively they are not among the top teams either, but they have improved in this aspect in their most recent games, scoring at least 110 points in the last 5 games.
Betting on the Charlotte Hornets
- Season record: 13-35.
The Charlotte franchise is still in its own battle with the Detroit Pistons for not being the worst team in the Eastern Conference. However, with the current dismal record they have, this ends up being the least of it.
The two wins against Houston and Atlanta scoring 122 points seemed to be an awakening, but Utah gave him a reality check and the Phoenix Suns also defeated them in their last game. The Hornets are in the top 5 worst teams in both the defensive and offensive statistics. To make matters worse, they are suffering the loss of their best player, LaMelo Ball, leader in scoring average and assists.
JefeBet Prediction
Even at home, Charlotte does not have a positive record in the competition, winning 12 games and losing the same amount. They will try to get back to winning ways this Thursday, but if Ball is still unavailable, this task seems complicated.
Chicago was foolishly let down in their last engagement, but before that they were putting up an interesting game performance that invites them to be optimistic. Therefore, it is expected that they will be able to take a good result from this trip to Charlotte.
Prediction: Chicago Bulls Moneyline.
