The Chicago Bulls will welcome the Charlotte Hornets to the United Center for their 35th game of the NBA season. They will look to overcome the Hornets and continue their recent winning momentum. Here is our prediction for the game.
After back-to-back defeats, the Chicago Bulls turned the corner with an emphatic 16-point win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday. This was followed by a victory over the Orlando Magic in their most recent outing. Paolo Banchero’s game-high 31 points couldn’t save the Magic from defeat as the Bulls came from 10 points down in the first quarter to win 121–114.
The six-time champions will be looking for their third consecutive victory on Sunday. They have won four of their last six home fixtures and have secured victory in seven of their last nine games.
The Charlotte Hornets fell by just one point in a bruising battle at the Fiserv Forum against the Milwaukee Bucks in their last game. They raced into a 14-point lead in the opening quarter, but lost the final three quarters, ultimately falling 122–121.
That result marked their third consecutive defeat and fifth in seven games. The Charlotte-based franchise have lost three of their last four away games and post a poor 1–4 record in their last five visits to the United Center to face the Chicago Bulls.

Our Chicago Bulls vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction
Coming off the back of two consecutive victories and six wins from their last nine games, the Chicago Bulls are well-positioned to ace this tie. They have won their last two home fixtures and four of their last five matchups with the Charlotte Hornets at the United Center.
Conversely, the Hornets’ trip to the United Center is overshadowed by their three-game losing streak. They have also struggled in their recent away games and are unlikely to overturn this poor form in Sunday’s clash. Therefore, our Chicago Bulls vs Charlotte Hornets prediction is Chicago Bulls wins.
