Charlotte Hornets vs. Chicago Bulls preview

The red-hot Bulls roll into Spectrum Center looking to build on their impressive 11-4 stretch that has locked them into a play-in tournament spot, while the struggling Hornets are just trying to reach the 20-win mark before their disappointing season mercifully ends.

Chicago's dynamic offense, ranked sixth in scoring and led by Coby White's 20.5 points per game, has been the catalyst behind their recent surge, with White dropping 31 points in their last win over Portland.

The Hornets, meanwhile, have lost seven of their last eight games and continue to suffer from the league's second-worst offensive rating, though Miles Bridges has been a lone bright spot, scoring 22 points in their recent defeat to Sacramento.

History favors the Bulls, who've beaten the spread in eight of the previous nine matchups between these teams and already claimed two victories in their three meetings this season.

LaMelo Ball's absence continues to hamper Charlotte, while Chicago is dealing with their own injury concerns as Tre Jones is out and Lonzo Ball remains questionable for Sunday's matchup.

The battle on the boards could prove decisive, with both teams finding success in offensive rebounding during their head-to-head matchups this season.

Chicago's impressive three-point defense (2nd in the league) will be tested against a Hornets team that has struggled mightily from beyond the arc, shooting just 25.2% from three against the Bulls this season.

I'm feeling pretty confident the Bulls will take this one comfortably, continuing their late-season push while Charlotte's players might already have one foot on vacation.
