Command Analysis
Bulls are catching up to the leader of the Eastern Conference, Miami, but so far Chicago is at the 2nd spot. Team is waiting for Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso to return on the floor, they will surely improve team's offense.
Chicago put up a decent performance in the previous match and left no chance to Portland (130:116). Team lost the first quarter, but it only pushed the Bulls forward, Nikola Vucevic and DeMar DeRozan did everything they could to crush the opponent. Now Bulls will try to extend their success in the match against the Magic.
Magic suddenly started to improve, but it won't be easy to leave the bottom spot. It seems like there won't be a moment, when team's injuried list is empty, even now five players of the team are injuried.
Orlando recorded two consecutive victories, they managed to beat another underdog, Detroit (119:103), and after that Magic recorded a sensational victory over Dallas (110:108). Both of these matches were held at Orlando, so hosts were feeling themselves comfortable, but now team will travel to United Center, so it won't be easy to get a victory there.

Tip and bets
Orlando, just like any other team in the league, is able to put up a surprise, but we can hardly consider Magic a stable team. Jamahl Mosley's men are getting ready for the match against one of the best Eastern clubs, so it is hard to expect a victory from the Magic.
Chicago managed to step up in the crucial moment and team is currently fighting for the top spot, despite a number of problems. Billy Donovan's men are unbeaten for three consecutive home matches and they are looking to extend that streak in the match against the underdog. In our opinion, visitors won't be able to withstand in the match against the Bulls.
Our prediction - Handicap (-8) points on Chicago Bulls
In the most recent match Billy Donovan's men put up a great offensive performance. Magic recorded two consecutive victories, so they are also in a great form, so we are expecting a high-scoring match.
Our second bet is on total over 214 points
