The Chicago Bulls (25-37) visit the Phoenix Suns (35-26) in an NBA 2025-26 matchup on Thursday, March 5, at Mortgage Matchup Center.

The Bulls and Suns have yet to square off in the 2025-26 season, marking their first head-to-head encounter. Phoenix swept both meetings last season, although of course, both teams' rosters have changed since then.

But momentum is recently in the favor of the Suns, as they're coming off a convincing 114-103 road victory over the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. They trailed the Kings by eight after the opening period, but bounced back through their defense. 

Jalen Green led the way with a game-high 20 points, Grayson Allen chipped in 18, and Phoenix displayed strong balance with six double-digit scorers.

However, the Suns will miss the services of injured key players Dillon Brooks and Mark Williams.

As for the Bulls, they're on a massive slump, having lost 12 of their last 13 games. They are coming off a 116-108 defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday, where Chicago could not take advantage of OKC playing without superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Chicago’s injury list remains a major concern, with Anfernee Simons and Jaden Ivey sitting out. More players are listed as day-to-day, including Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey.

Our Phoenix Suns vs Chicago Bulls Prediction

This game pits a road-weary, injury-riddled Bulls squad against a Suns team that has historically owned the matchup and boasts one of the league’s better home records.

Moreover, the Suns are far healthier than the Bulls, especially with their star backcourt Jalen Green and Devin Booker clicking on offense. The home advantage, recent form, and depth disparity make this a prime spot for the Suns to dominate. Our prediction for the Phoenix Suns vs Chicago Bulls match is: Suns (-11.5) cover the spread.
