*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Wednesday evening, January 25th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Thursday, January 26th.
Chicago Bulls
After three consecutive wins and playing in a back-to-back, the Bulls weren’t able to sustain a double-digit lead against the motivated Pacers who had lost seven games in a row.
Per usual, DeMar DeRozan led the way for Chicago with 33 points, five rebounds, and three assists.
Nikola Vucevic fell two rebounds shy of his 12-straight double-double registering 20 points, eight rebounds, and five assists.
Stats
Chicago scores 114.6 points per game ranking 13th while they shoot 48.8% from the field and 36.8% from the perimeter ranking fifth and 11th respectively.
Defensively, they allow 114.7 points per game ranking 18th. So far, their opponents shoot 47.3% from the field and 36.3% from the perimeter ranking 18th and 20th respectively.
Goran Dragic (illness), and Marko Simonovic (cervical strain) are out Thursday while Lonzo Ball (knee) and Javonte Green (knee) are both out indefinitely.
Charlotte Hornets
The Hornets didn’t concede to the Suns who built an early 30-point lead before halftime jumping on the Suns out of the break and cutting that deficit down to eight.
Unfortunately, the energy they used up to get back in the match left them sapped and unable to sustain that brief stint as they still fell by 31 points.

Summing up injuries, LaMelo Ball (ankle/wrist), Gordon Hayward (hamstring) and Cody Martin (knee) are questionable for Thursday. Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand surgery) is out indefinitely.

Free Chicago Bulls vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction:
For the first half of the season, it seemed like the Hornets kept fighting the tank, but with LaMelo Ball out again they’ve switched gears into full-on tank mode. That’s fortunate for the Bulls who have no desire to tank and keep trying to turn their season around.
