Chicago Bulls Team News
The team led by Billy Donovan has been playing very erratically this season, and they have a record of 4-4. Game against the Hornets, this second game in two days, and yesterday they beat the dangerous Nets led by Durant and Irving. Zach Lavine, who returned from injury, played a great game and scored 20 points, out of a total of 29, in the last quarter.
They started this season without Lonzo Ball, who was injured. Donovan added two former All-Stars to the team, whose careers are on a downward trajectory, but they can still contribute with their experience and the quality of great minutes. It is about Goran Dragić and Andre Drummond, who will bring great width to the Bulls team.
However, this season the striking duo is Derozan and LaVine, who will lead the Chicago team. The biggest problem for the Bulls is the imbalance between defense and offense. The attack is excellent, they have width and points in their hands, but in defense, they have problems, especially in taking over.
Charlotte Hornets Team News
Like the Bulls, this season the Hornets have been playing quite erratically. A big problem for the Hornets is the absence of two main defenders, Ball and Rozeiro. They are currently 3-4 and will try to take advantage of the Bulls’ fatigue and beat them on the road.
The Hornets are very bad defensively this season and have one of the worst defensive ratings in the league. The shortcomings of the play of Miles Bridges, who was one of the best defensive players in the league, are felt a lot. Bridges were suspended from the team and the league for domestic violence. Dennis Smith Jr and P.J. are having a great season. Washington.
In the last match, they were defeated by the Kings, while only a day before that match they surprised the champions Golden State Warriors. Lamelo will be out for another month, and the Hornets will have big problems in the organization. As a secondary creator, the Hornets use Hayward, who can pass the ball and create from the SF positions. For something more in this match, they will have to improve the defense first of all.

Chicago Bulls vs. Charlotte Hornets Prediction
Lonzo Ball, Drummond, White will not be in the lineup for the Bulls, while Dosunmu is a question mark. The Hornets will be without LaMelo Ball, while Rozier and Martin are questionable.
We expect this match to be fairly even. Especially because the Bulls played their game yesterday. But, the home field, the quality as well as the attacking potential of the Bulls are reasons enough to choose the victory of the Bulls as the final choice.
