Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Chicago Bulls vs. Charlotte Hornets
Wednesday, February 09, 2022 7:30 PM
Play: Point Spread: -3/-110 Chicago Bulls
Charlotte to drop from the outside, and still be able to cover deep when needed. Chicago's frontcourt can hit the paint with authority, displaying the ability to put the ball in the hole - I wasn't sure they had brought that game into Chi-town - but they can score points in chunks. The Hornets have been getting beat inside almost all the time.
With premier guys up front residing with the Bulls - the F's need to get it figured out, or Charlotte is going to get wrecked all game long. Chicago has a lot more aggression, and a sense of unity that we haven't seen around in Chicago for awhile. The Hornets have not shown toughness or the ability to put them among the better teams being able to stop teams from scoring, as they sit at 28th in the NBA - giving up 114 + ppg. They must show a marked improvement with their ability to know when to double team and when not to.
Chicago wins by 10 points
