In other news, the Hornets assigned Bryce McGowens and Mark Williams to the Greensboro Swarm prior to the 2022-23 G League season opening on Friday. Chicago is currently 10th in three-point percentage (36.8) but only 29th in three-point attempts per game (28.9); if the Hornets can keep up the off-ball activity, score points off turnovers and limit the amount of uncontested looks the Bulls get from downtown, there’s a good chance that the offense — which has plummeted to 18th in rating over the last few games — can keep up. Until the Bulls are healthy, Caruso and Dosunmu are going to do a lot of heavy-lifting on defense and offense, respectively. in the rotation and cemented himself as Williams’ Energizer Bunny-like backup. Chicago will likely start Ayo Dosunmu and Alex Caruso in the backcourt with DeMar DeRozan, Patrick Williams and Nikola Vučević rounding out the starting five. Given that two of the biggest names are injured and both teams are hovering around .500, it makes sense that the league and its television partners opted for

Charlotte Hornets @ Chicago Bulls Game Preview (Sports Illustrated)

The Hornets look to get back to .500 with a win in the season's first game against the Chicago Bulls.

Being that this is a second night of a back-to-back, I don't think the Bulls want to get into a fast pace game with Charlotte. Both teams have made conscious efforts to improve defensively this year, and I think you could see that come into play here and lead to a slower game with fewer points. The second half against the Kings might have been the worst they have played so far, so I would expect to see them come out strong against a team that had to travel back home on the second night of a back-to-back. The Hornets continue to struggle getting to the free throw line. Both players are averaging over 20 points per game so far this season and will prove to be extremely difficult tests for the Hornets improved defense. In Monday's loss to the Kings, Sacramento shot double the amount of free throws as the Hornets and finished with 16 more points at the line. Dennis Smith Jr has been nothing short of fantastic so far for the Hornets on both ends of the court, but the team will really need every ounce of his defense to help slow down Lavine and DeRozan. On a team with a limited ability to get into the paint and create rim pressure, watching Washington become more aggressive in that area has helped tremendously. The more he attacks the paint and works on his mid-range game, the better looks he will get from three. Having the rest advantage could really help the Hornets get out to a strong start. The Hornets will have the travel and rest advantage in this one and that could become an important factor because of their injuries the team is dealing with. Charlotte has been able to bounce back pretty nicely after each subpar performance so far this season, so I would expect to see them have a good showing against the Bulls on Wednesday night.

Here's everything you need to know before the Chicago Bulls take on the Charlotte Hornets in their ninth game of the 2022-23 regular season.

has done an admirable job of filling in for LaMelo Ball thus far, it’s impossible to ignore the fact that this Hornets team was already a lottery team last season and is currently down its two best players from last year’s roster in LaMelo and Miles Bridges. Playing LaVine against the better team was a gamble that paid off far better than it did against Philadelphia and San Antonio over the weekend. Gambling odds and information courtesy of FanDuel. With LaMelo Ball still recuperating from injury, the Hornets lack their captain to steer the ship through these rough early season waters. Still, they’ve also dropped games against bottom-feeder teams like the Magic and Kings, so there’s no telling just what version of the Hornets we’ll see tonight. With their next six contests coming against the Celtics, Raptors, Nuggets, and Pelicans, this matchup against Charlotte feels a lot more like a must-win game.

They weren't expected to be contending for the division title this late in the season, coming off a 6-7 record last season and a 5-5 record in 2020. Hart became a fan favorite in New Orleans, and he was enough of an asset to be a sticking point in the team's trade for guard C.J. It’s not all on the rush, it’s in different scenarios, it’s on the power play, and it’s at five-on-five. Thanks to the trade, the Pelicans field one of the deepest rosters in basketball while the Lakers are arguably the thinnest.

NBA Odds: Hornets-Bulls prediction, odds and pick - 11/2/2022 (ClutchPoints)

The Charlotte Hornets visit the Windy City to take on the Chicago Bulls. We continue our NBA odds series with a Hornets-Bulls prediction.

The Bulls are in the second game of a back-to-back but looked impressive against the Nets. Ayo is coming off one of his better games of the season against Brooklyn. DeRozan has cooled off some after back-to-back 30-point games to start the season but is in a good position to have a huge night. He provides Chicago with some much-needed shot creation in the absence of LaVine. In his absence, expect Alex Caruso to return to the starting lineup. Hayward is in the midst of a comeback season in which he’s averaging 18.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.4 assists while shooting 49.5% from the floor. They’re below average on the glass (23rd in rebound differential), but do a good job taking care of the ball (11th in turnovers per game). On Monday he scored 28 points and drained three threes on 57% shooting against the Kings. Prior to that, he raked up 31 points and 7 rebounds against the Warriors. The Bulls are now 4-3-1 against the spread – an improvement over last year’s 51% cover rate. Charlotte stole the finale in Chicago by 16. Four of their seven games have gone over after a slight under-preference last season (52%).

Charlotte Hornets at Chicago Bulls: 1 Best Bet To Make (ChiCitySports.com)

The Chicago Bulls head home to the United Center to battle the Charlotte Hornets as betting favorites following Tuesday's win in Brooklyn.

If the Chicago Bulls can exploit their issues inside with Vooch, the big man should have no issues getting over this number, and could potentially be the x-factor in deciding this game. Last night’s win put the Bulls at 4-4 on the season, and Zach LaVine’s fourth quarter efforts pushed the best bet of the day to 6-2! Now in his second full season with the Bulls, the confidence and aggressiveness has appeared to rise to a higher level. With Zach LaVine out of the lineup tonight, the Chicago Bulls will have to find other avenues of offense as the team currently stands 1-2 without his efforts. Tonight, we’re hoping to have consecutive winning nights both in the Bulls win column, and right here on the best bet of the day. The Chicago Bulls will look to build off of Tuesday’s win in Brooklyn, as they face the Charlotte Hornets for the first time this season.
