Bulls at Hornets 11/23/19 - NBA Picks & Predictions

In Saturday night NBA action, the Chicago Bulls will visit the Spectrum Center to take on the Charlotte Hornets. The Bulls (5-11) have dropped four of their last five games and have not looked like a team that is ready to take the next step as a playoff contender. Last night, Chicago trailed by 24 points at halftime of an ugly 116-108 home loss versus Miami.

Chicago G Zach LaVine tallied a team high 15 points, but finished a game worst minus 19 rating. Thaddeus Young added 12 points and eight rebounds off the bench.

The Charlotte Hornets pressed the reset button when they dealt All-Star G Kemba Walker to Boston in the offseason. The youthtful Hornets (6-10) have lost three straight games and rank last in the league in rebounds (40.9 rpg). On Friday, Charlotte was unable to protect a 13-point fourth quarter lead during a 125-118 road loss against Washington. 

Second year pro Miles Bridges led all scorers with 31 points on 12-for-21 shooting and grabbed eight rebounds. Devonte Graham and Terry Rozier added 19 points apiece for the Hornets.
