Chicago Bulls vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction and Betting Tips (18.01.2025)

Command Analysis

Chicago Bulls

USA

Current form

Chicago is in deep crisis. The team occupies the tenth place in the Eastern Conference, but holds it only due to the failures of its closest competitors. In the last three matches, the Bulls suffered defeats from Sacramento (119:124), New Orleans (113:119) and Atlanta (94:110).

The main problem of Billy Donovan team is their inconsistent play. Despite having such stars as Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic, the team cannot find a balance between attack and defense. LaVine regularly shows good results in attack, but the lack of team play greatly affects the effectiveness.

Chicago needs to get its act together before a game against one of the conference outsiders. Playing at home should help the Bulls show more confident basketball and, perhaps, break their losing streak.

Disqualifications and injuries

Lonzo Ball, Torrey Craig and Taleg Horton-Tucker are all sidelined and will not be able to help the team in the next game.

Interesting facts for betting

The Bulls have won only one of their last five games.

Probable lineup: Williams - Lavigne, Vucevic - Giddy, White.

Charlotte Hornets

USA

Current form

Charlotte continues to be at the bottom of the standings, occupying the penultimate place in the East. The season is almost over for the team, but the Hornets found motivation to please fans with bright moments. In the last three matches, the Hornets won against Phoenix (115:104) and Utah (112:107), but lost to the Clippers (102:117).

The team main engine is LaMelo Ball, who is in great shape. His interactions with teammates like Brandon Miller and Mark Williams are becoming more and more harmonious. This allows the Hornets to impose a fight even on stronger opponents.

The trip to Chicago will be another test for Charles Lee team. Charlotte has nothing to lose, which means the team can play freely and show attacking basketball.

Disqualifications and injuries

Tre Mann and Grant Williams will be out due to health issues.

Interesting facts for betting

The Hornets have three road wins this season.

Probable lineup: Bridges - Green, Williams - Miller, Ball.

Tip and bets

1.72Charlotte Handicap (+6) points

Chicago is in a tough spot. The team has issues both offensively and defensively, and three straight losses have seriously hurt the players' morale. For the Bulls, the match against Charlotte is a great chance to regain confidence and improve their position.

However, the Hornets have shown in recent games that they are capable of fighting. Wins over Phoenix and Utah prove that the team is not giving up. LaMelo Ball inspires his teammates with his play, and the lack of pressure allows the Hornets to play their own basketball.

In our opinion, the visitors can surprise in this match. Despite the underdog status, Charlotte has a chance of success thanks to more stable play in recent weeks.

Our prediction is a Charlotte win with a handicap of (+6) points for 1.72

Bet on statistics

The Hornets have shown that they can play effectively, especially against unstable teams. They have been scoring well in recent games, and this time LaMelo Ball and his partners will try to play aggressively again. We believe that Charlotte will beat its individual total.
