The Houston Rockets and the Chicago Bulls will face off at the Toyota Center in the NBA on Tuesday night. The Rockets (22-14) are seventh in the Western Conference standings, while the Bulls (18-20) are 10th in the East. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Houston Rockets are in need of a positive result here, having now lost four of their last five games, including each of their last three, following a 111-98 defeat to the Kings on Sunday.
A major contributing factor to the Rockets’ recent slump was the absence of Alperen Sengun, and while he did return against the Kings, it was evident he was lacking rhythm after his time out.
Still, Houston are a top-10 team on both ends this season and have a stunning 11-2 home record to date. They have also beaten this opponent in each of their last three encounters.
Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls will be hoping to string together a few wins now after ending their three-game losing streak with a 125-107 victory over the Mavericks at the weekend.
The Bulls should be fairly well-rested here, as they last played on Saturday, and thanks to their solid performance against Dallas, no player was required to log more than 30 minutes of game time.
However, the Bulls are 7-11 on the road this season and will be missing their two best players in Coby White and Josh Giddey for this match. Noa Essengue and Zach Collins are also sidelined.

Our Houston Rockets vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
The Rockets have been underwhelming lately, but they are strongly fancied to get back to winning ways at home, where they have one of the best records in the NBA at 11-2 SU for the season.
However, given the Bulls' injury situation at present, this line has skyrocketed to double digits, which is far from ideal for a Houston side that has failed to cover the spread in their last five games. We still expect the hosts to get the win, but we’ll settle for a shorter line than the one set. Our Houston Rockets vs Chicago Bulls prediction is Houston Rockets -7.5.
