The Chicago Bulls (35-42) visit the Charlotte Hornets (19-58) on Sunday, April 6, 2025, at the Spectrum Center.

This is the fourth and last time that the Bulls and Hornets will face each other. So far, the Bulls are winning their regular season series against the Hornets, 2-1. In those two wins, the Bulls produced an average winning margin of 10.5 points.

Moreover, the Bulls are in a better place at this time of the year. They have won six of their last eight games, relying on their much-improved scoring efficiency. During this impressive stretch, the Bulls have improved their offensive rating from a season average of 113.8 to 123.1. That's almost a 10-point increase, which is very impactful in today's NBA.

As for the Hornets, they've lost seven of their last eight games. Their lone win in that span is a 110-106 victory over the similarly tanking Utah Jazz squad. Their offense has struggled mightily, producing a lowly 107.7 offensive rating in that stretch. 

Moreover, the Hornets will miss the services of key players LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller. This makes life more difficult for the Hornets, making the Bulls the favorites to win this game.
