Chicago Bulls (17-19) will host New Orleans Pelicans (7-29) at the United Center on Tuesday night. The Bulls have struggled for consistency this season and will hope that the new year will be better. They managed to bounce back from their disappointing loss against the Wizards to bag convincing wins against the Knicks and the Spurs. These wins show that the Bulls might have turned a corner after struggling with injuries to key players for most of the season. As for the Pelicans, their campaign has been uninspiring so far. Before entering the new year, they had lost 11 back-to-back matches, although they have since managed to stop the slide with double wins against the Wizards. The Pelicans hope that the imminent return of Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson will add more quality and depth to their squad.

Our Chicago Bulls vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction

The Pelicans have been awful this season despite beating fellow strugglers, the Wizards, in the last two matches. They have scored an average of 107.5 points per game, ranked 26th in basketball. Defensively, they have given up an average of 117.5, which is 25th in the NBA. However, they are still better than Chicago in defense, who are 29th with an average of 129 points. The good news for the Bulls is that their attack can bail them out of trouble after scoring an average of 117.8 PPG. That’s a respectable fifth position in the NBA. We expect them to control this matchup from start to finish. Our prediction for Chicago Bulls vs New Orleans Pelicans: Chicago Bulls for the win.
