The Bulls will try to make it two in a row and improve to a .500 record tonight when they host the Orlando Magic at the United Center in Chicago, IL. Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. EST with coverage provided by the Chicago Sports Network and NBA League Pass.

Winning will be easier said than done for the Bulls, with three stars out for the game due to injury (Josh Giddey, Coby White, and Zach Collins). But fans already know that winning is not impossible with those three in the lineup. They faced the New Orleans Pelicans recently, with all three sidelined, and went on to win in commanding fashion, 134-118. It was a real team effort in that game with eight players scoring in double-digits. As for Orlando, the Magic are coming off a win on New Year’s Eve vs. Indiana courtesy of a last-second basket from Paulo Banchero that put them up 112-110. The victory got them back on the right side of the scoreboard after a loss to Toronto a couple of days prior. Orlando has been alternating with wins and losses since a 128-127 OT win over Utah on December 23 (seven games, 4-3).

Our Chicago Bulls vs Orlando Magic Prediction

Chicago is missing some critical pieces to the puzzle that will make it hard for the Bulls to pull off a win in this game. Orlando has injury issues of their own, but has more talent and depth on the roster despite the injuries it is dealing with. However, with Chicago putting up 134 the other night despite the injuries and Orlando barely escaping with a win vs. a poor Indiana team, I’m not confident in Orlando to cover.

Our Orlando vs. Chicago Pick: Bulls +4.5

Prediction:

 

Bulls +4.5
