The Chicago Bulls are 25-36 on the season. This has them in 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings and five games behind the play-in spot occupied by the tenth-seeded Charlotte Hornets.
In their latest match, they beat the Milwaukee Bucks 120-97 at home. Collin Sexton was the man of the moment, leading the team with a game-high 22 points. Josh Giddey contributed 20 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists. It was his eighth triple-double this season.
That result couldn't have come at a better time, as it ended an 11-game losing run. It was marked down on paper as the joint third-worst skid in franchise history.

In their recent match, they beat the Dallas Mavericks 100-87 on the road, extending their winning run to two games. It was also their fourth win in six games.
Unfortunately for the Thunder, they'll be without their top performer, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is sidelined with an abdominal injury. He suffered the injury in their recent match against the Mavericks, where he led the team with a game-high 30 points.

Our Chicago Bulls vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
It's hard to overlook the fact that the Chicago Bulls were recently on an 11-game skid. Expecting an immediate improvement in form within such a limited time frame may be unrealistic. The Bulls are in the bottom half in defensive efficiency and are the third-worst at defending three-pointers.
The Oklahoma City Thunder should have some success scoring from beyond the arc. The Thunder have won their last six matches in this fixture and covered the -8.5 point spread in five consecutive matches. Our Chicago Bulls vs Oklahoma City Thunder prediction: Oklahoma City Thunder -8.5.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
