The Chicago Bulls and the Cleveland Cavaliers are set to lock horns at the United Center in an NBA clash. The Bulls are in 11th place in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Cavaliers are seventh. Here's our match prediction.

Inconsistency has been a major issue for the Chicago Bulls in the past weeks. Coming into this match, they've lost eight of their last nine games.

Their most recent defeat came against the New Orleans Pelicans, losing 114-104 at home. Coby White led the team with 20 points, five rebounds, and five assists. As a team, they shot 41.3% from the field and 26.53% from the three-point range.

A return to their humble abode sees the Bulls going through a rough patch. They have dropped four straight games and could struggle for a favorable outcome in this encounter. 

The Cleveland Cavaliers are also not doing well, having lost six of their last nine games. Their recent match against the Charlotte Hornets ended in a 119-111 overtime home defeat.

In that match against the Hornets, Darius Garland led the team with 26 points, two rebounds, and nine assists. As a team, they shot 40% from the field and 31.58% from the three-point range.

The Cavaliers are on the road this time, and their performance has improved. After back-to-back defeats against the Raptors and the Hawks, they are currently riding a two-match winning streak.
