Key Stats
Chicago BullsÂ
The Chicago Bulls are coming off a devastating loss at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers, 139-117. Despite the loss, Zach Collins was excellent. Collins finished with 20 points, 12 rebounds, and four stocks while shooting an efficient 10/16 from the floor. Coby White was excellent despite his inefficiencies in scoring. White finished with 25 points and seven rebounds while shooting 9/23 from the floor, including 3/12 from distance. Jalen Smith had a lovely night off the bench, scoring 13 points and 11 rebounds in only 18 minutes. With a record of 24-38 on the season, the Bulls sit in 10th place in the Eastern Conference.
In terms of the Bulls’ defense, they are a below-average team. For the season, they rank 30th in points allowed per game, 22nd in opponent field goal percentage, 2nd in opponent three-point percentage, 19th in blocks per game, 26th in steals per game, 8th in rebounds per game, and 26th in defensive rating. In regards to injuries, there are a few to monitor. Chicago will be without Nikola Vucevic and Ayo Dosunmu, while Josh Giddey, Kevin Huerter, Patrick Williams, and Lonzo Ball are questionable for this game. Over their last 10 games, Chicago has a record of 2-8, including 5-5-0 against the spread.
Orlando Magic
The Orlando Magic are coming off a devastating loss at home. They were defeated by the Toronto Raptors 114-113. Despite the loss, Paolo Banchero had a sensational night. He finished the game with 41 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, and four steals while shooting a very efficient 14/20 from the floor, including four for five from downtown. Franz Wagner also had a great night with 25 points and five rebounds. Tristan da Silva performed solidly despite the loss. Da Silva finished with 12 points, three rebounds, and two assists while shooting 4/5 from downtown and was a team-high +8 on the court. With a record of 29-34 on the season, the Magic sit in 8th place in the Eastern Conference.
Defensively, the Orlando Magic are an above-average team. They ranked 1st in points allowed per game, 20th in opponent field goal percentage, 24th in opponent three-point percentage, 2nd in blocks per game, 7th in steals per game, 27th in rebounds per game, and 2nd in defensive rating. In terms of injuries, Cole Anthony is listed as questionable for this game, and Jalen Suggs will miss the rest of the season with the knee injury that has kept him sidelined since January 25th. Over their last 10 games, the Magic have a record of 4-6, including 4-6-0 against the spread.
Prediction
The Orlando Magic will defeat the Chicago Bulls in this game and cover the 7.5-point spread. Despite the Magic entering this game on a four-game losing streak, this is a bad matchup for the Chicago Bulls. As previously mentioned, the Mavs are an excellent defensive team despite the Bulls being in the top 10 in scoring; I do not expect the balls to be able to generate enough off to keep this game close. Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner will perform excellently against a bad Chicago defense. The Magic defend home court and cruise to a double-digit win over the Bulls in this matchup.
Final Pick
Orlando Magic -7.5 (-102)
