The Oklahoma City Thunder will play host to the Chicago Bulls at the Paycom Center in the NBA on Friday. OKC (57-16) lead the Western Conference standings, while the Bulls (29-43) are 12th in the East. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Oklahoma City Thunder will be looking to get back to winning ways here after seeing their 12-game win streak ended by the Celtics, 119-109 on the road on Wednesday night.
As a team, OKC were uncharacteristically mediocre against the C’s. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was at his usual high level, scoring 33 points, but the next best player was Lu Dort with just 14 points.
Still, it is rare for the Thunder to perform poorly in consecutive games. They’ve already beaten this opponent this season and have won their last seven in a row against them since November 2022.
Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have been in poor form coming into this match. They lost their fifth game in seven in midweek, getting stomped 157-137 by the 76ers on the road.
The Bulls’ defence delivered one of their worst displays of the season against the Sixers, as they were down by 12 points in the first quarter. Josh Giddey was the only player to surpass the 20-point mark.
Chicago are 11-23 on the road this season. Noa Essengue, Anfernee Simons, Jaden Ivey, Isaac Okoro and Zach Collins are out for the visitors.

Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
Given recent form, it’s tough to see anything but a win for the Oklahoma City Thunder here, but this line feels much too thick for us considering that the defending champions are 4-14 ATS in the last 18 games when installed as double-digit favourites.
Indeed, OKC are far less profitable this season compared to last, and only beat this opponent by eight points when they met earlier this month. The Bulls have covered the spread in eight of their last 12 games, and we feel they will add to that record in this match. Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Chicago Bulls prediction is Chicago Bulls +21.5.
If your team in the Oklahoma City Thunder and Chicago Bulls game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
If you want to place a bet on the moneyline in the Oklahoma City Thunder vs Chicago Bulls game, then bet365 is the place to do it. If the team that you have bet on takes a 20-point lead in the game, then bet365 will pay your bet out as a winner. If your team goes on to lose, you are still a winner.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
