The Chicago Bulls face the New Orleans Pelicans in this interconference NBA clash on Thursday. The Bulls will look to bounce back after recent deadlocks. Do they stand a chance against the New Orleans Pelicans? Here is our prediction. 

The Chicago Bulls fell at home by a staggering 35 points against sixth-placed Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday. Naz Reid proved a nightmare for the Bulls, scoring a game-high 33 points, with seven rebounds and three assists to seal a 136–101 victory for the Wolves. 

The Chicago Bulls have now lost their last two games and have suffered defeats in six of their last eight home fixtures. However, they remain strong contenders for Thursday's clash, having won five of their last seven games.

The New Orleans Pelicans lost 130–125 to the New York Knicks on Tuesday. They led by seven points entering the fourth quarter before a decisive 12-point final-quarter defeat saw them collapse to a 130–125 against the Knicks. That result marked their fourth consecutive defeat.

The Pelicans haven't also impressed in their recent away games, having lost seven of their last eight road games. However, they will be confident of victory in Thursday's clash, having won their last four matchups with the Chicago Bulls.

Our Chicago Bulls vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction

This is a tricky matchup as both teams meet on the back of underwhelming recent results. However, the Chicago Bulls have fared better with five wins from their last seven games. The support of the home fans could also prove crucial for the Bulls. 

Nevertheless, it’s not likely to be a stroll in the park for the Chicago-based franchise. The New Orleans Pelicans have dominated them in their past four meetings. Hence, we expect an extremely close contest likely to go either way. Our Chicago Bulls vs New Orleans Pelicans prediction is Chicago Bulls +5.5 handicap points. 

Prediction :

 

Chicago Bulls +5.5 handicap points
