Game Preview
In the NBA schedule for Thursday, the Charlotte Hornets will play host to the Chicago Bulls at the Spectrum Center. While the Hornets have only managed three victories at the start of the year, the Chicago Bulls are 6-5 for 2023 and have created two distinct three-game winning streaks.
The Bulls’ two stars are mostly responsible for the offense. In addition to his three double-doubles this season, DeMar DeRozan has continued to put up All-Star stats of 26.2 points, five rebounds, 4.9 assists, and one steal per game. He scored more than 21 points in 13 of his last 15 games, including a 44-point outing against the Cavaliers in a loss.
On the other hand, Charlotte’s offensive activity has been made possible by LaMelo Ball, their inventive point guard. 22 games after returning from injury, Aside from Ball, Terry Rozier, PJ Washington, Mason Plumlee, and Jalen McDaniels are other strong point producers for Charlotte.
Let’s check the latest picks, NBA news, stats and NBA expert picks for Bulls vs Hornets. We’ve plenty of NBA predictions for you to consider.
The Hornets’ ability to keep putting up impressive rebounding and steals totals might be their salvation. They are seventh in the league in both offensive rebounds (12.1) and total rebounds (44.1), and their eight nightly steals are eighth best in the league. While Rozier, Ball, and Dennis Smith Jr. should also benefit from making deflections and thefts, Plumlee, McDaniels, Washington, and Nick Richards should continue to dominate the boards.
The Hornets’ last two games were devastating double-digit annihilations. They do not even compensate for their inconsistent play on defense, which affects the club. In their last 10 games, the Bulls have played competitively. Ball and Rozier can go off at any time, but Charlotte’s other players hardly contribute to the team’s scoring efforts. In the end, taking everything into consideration, the underperforming Hornets may not be able to handle DeRozan and LaVine.
