Free Chicago Bulls vs. New Orleans Pelicans NBA Prediction:
The Chicago Bulls and New Orleans Pelicans meet again on Wednesday for the second time in a calendar week.
The first time around saw the Bulls lose to the Pelicans, 115-111—a game in which they failed to cover as 2-point underdogs.
In this one, keep an eye on Zion Williamson’s status. Without him, the Pelicans managed to rally a 113-102 win over the Grizzlies on Thursday night.
The truth is, though, that regardless of Zion’s status, the Bulls may struggle in this one. They’ve had trouble as of late, and containing the Pelicans, even without their quote-on-quote star, could be a challenge.
Look for this one to stay close enough to remain competitive to the end, but don’t be shocked if New Orleans sneaks away with another win, this time at home, and this time by a more convincing margin.
Pelicans get this one at home both straight up and against the spread.
