The Charlotte Hornets still fight the battle with the Detroit Pistons for which of them won’t be the worst team in the Eastern Conference. But, given the Hornets’ recent disappointing record, they seem to be already losing that fight.
Charlotte securing two wins over the Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks for 122 points seemed to have given them a needed awakening, but the Utah Jazz gave them a reality check and the Phoenix Suns won them in their last game.
The Hornets are now one of the top 5 worst teams in defensive and offensive statistics. To worsen things, Charlotte still suffers the loss of LaMelo Ball who was their best player and leader in scoring average and assists.

The Chicago Bulls could not extend their 3-win streak after a surprising loss to the Indiana Pacers in their last match. They lost the game after taking a 12-point lead for the majority of the game but were overpowered by the home team who stopped their good results.
Throughout the campaign, Chicago’s problems have been made worse by their inconsistency in defense. They rank 8th overall in defensive average, with 114.7 points allowed per game. The Bulls also flop offensively, however, they’ve improved in this area in their most recent matchups, scoring up to 110 points in the last 5 games.

The Charlotte Hornets do not have a positive home record too in the campaign, they won 12 games and lost in the same breathe. NBA Prediction Tonight reckons that the Hornets will try to get back on their winning streak today, but if LaMelo doesn’t play ball then it might be more difficult than they anticipated.
Chicago’s last game was a smarting loss, but since their performances have been interesting so far, they can be optimistic for tonight’s challenge. The Bulls are predicted to take home a good result from their visit to Charlotte.
