Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
Chicago’s offense runs cleaner when Josh Giddey is pushing the pace and creating easy looks for Coby White and Nikola Vucevic. Plus, the Bulls’ urgency has to be higher after finally ending that long skid.
New Orleans’ blowout win was a relief, but with Dejounte Murray and Zion Williamson out, it’s tough to trust them on the road. The Bulls should have a slight edge in this game on Sunday. Our prediction for the Chicago Bulls vs New Orleans Pelicans match is: Bulls (-4.5) cover the spread.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
