The Chicago Bulls will play host to the Houston Rockets at the United Center in the NBA on Monday night. The Bulls (28-42) are 12th in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Rockets (43-27) are fourth in the West. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Chicago Bulls look ready to call an end to the season. They’ve lost five of their last seven games, including a second on the bounce, 115-110, to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday.
The Bulls mounted a comeback in the second half, but ultimately lacked the firepower and quality to get over the line. As a team, they shot 45% from the field, with Tre Jones leading the charge with 20 points.
Chicago are 17-20 at home but lost to this opponent 119-113 in their only previous matchup this season. Noa Essengue, Isaac Okoro and Zach Collins are ruled out for the hosts, while Jalen Smith, Anfernee Simons and Jaden Ivey are doubts.
Meanwhile, the Houston Rockets are heating back up, now aiming for a third consecutive victory after edging the Heat in a hard-fought 123-122 victory on Saturday night.
Amen Thompson came clutch in the final stretch to help his side overturn a nine-point deficit in Q4. Kevin Durant was the team’s most efficient player with 27 points, including 5-of-9 from three-point range.
The Rockets are 18-17 on the road and will be without Fred VanVleet and Steven Adams for this one.

Our Chicago Bulls vs Houston Rockets Prediction
The Rockets are a better team this season and should win this match, but they’ve not been convincing lately, having needed a last-second bucket to get past the Heat on Saturday, while failing to cover the spread in five of their last six games.
The Bulls seem to have thrown the towel in for the season, which sees them enter most games as underdogs. However, that has been beneficial for their backers, with the team covering in seven of their last 10. The hosts also have a significant rest advantage in this match, so we’re going to grab the points on the home dog. Our Chicago Bulls vs Houston Rockets prediction is Chicago Bulls +9.5.
If your team in the Chicago Bulls and Houston Rockets game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
