The Chicago Bulls play host to the Dallas Mavericks at the United Center in an NBA cross-conference clash. The Bulls are in tenth place in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Mavericks are in 12th place in the Western Conference. Here's our match prediction.
It hasn't been a great few weeks for the Chicago Bulls, who have lost five of their last seven matches. Admittedly, they started 2026 on a positive note, beating the Pelicans and the Magic.
In their latest outing, they faced the Detroit Pistons and succumbed to a 108-93 away defeat. That result marked their third consecutive defeat.
A home return offers limited motivation in their bid to return to the win column. At the United Center, the Bulls have lost seven of their last 11 matches at this venue.
The Dallas Mavericks find themselves in a similar situation to the Bulls. The visitors have struggled for form, losing five of their last seven matches.
In their latest outing, they faced the Utah Jazz on the road. Unfortunately, the result did not go their way as they suffered a narrow 116-114 defeat. Before this result, they were on a two-match winning streak.
The Mavericks are playing in their final match of a three-game road trip. Away from home, they've lost eight of their last nine games. Less can be expected from them in this one.

Our Chicago Bulls vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction
The Chicago Bulls have suffered four defeats in succession and are out to put an end to this unwanted run. The Bulls are at home, and while it hasn't been a great display, there's reason to believe they can come out on top here.
The Dallas Mavericks have won their last two matches in this fixture. However, given their poor run of form, particularly on the road, defeat here is inevitable. The Mavericks have the third-worst away record in the NBA this season, losing 14 of their last 18 matches. Our Chicago Bulls vs Dallas Mavericks prediction: Chicago Bulls wins.
