LiontipsCharlotte vs Chicago. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Charlotte lost their momentum recently, but team won't give up now, they are still holding on to eight spot of the Eastern Conference.
Charlotte is alternating wins with losses, but their last match ended with a positive result. Their team beat Detroit on an away game (102:99), though Pistons are underdogs of the league, so that result is not a surprise.
Hornets have to play without Gordon Hayward, who is their key player, but now he is recovering after a leg injury. James Borrego's side has to step up now, because regular season is coming to an end.
Bulls were on the Eastern Conference Top-10 not too long ago, but now they are out of the playoffs zone. The main reason of that is Zach LaVine's absence and then Nikola Vucevic' injury, though he is close to return.
Chicago lost four games in a row, they failed to fight off New York (94:113), Milwaukee (98:108), Atlanta (97:108) and Philadelphia (94:106). As we see, they had tough opponents and if you look at team's losses, they were not so bad.
Bulls knows that if nothing will change they can just finish their season right now. Billy Donovan's guys have only 7 games left and they should put up their best performance in all of them.

Tip and bets
Charlotte probably won't drop out from the top-10, but they shouldn't relax now. We expect the last push from Chicago, because this club is able to play better and they have nothing to lose, so they should go all the way. We believe that guests will give it all in this game and break their losing streak.
Our prediction - Chicago Bulls to win (Including OT)
Hornets are trying to lead the game, where they are at home, so we shouldn't expect a defensive approach. Bulls are not in a situation to think about defense, they need a win, so we suggest to bet on a total over.
Second prediction - total over 215.5 points
