Chicago Bulls vs Charlotte Hornets prediction
I know the Chicago Bulls aren’t having the best week in the world, and they’re on the end of a back to back, but this line feels soft. The Charlotte Hornets are a bad team that feels like they’re in full on tank mode. The Bulls already beat the Hornets twice this month and 5 straight times overall. If the Bulls are going to stay in the playoff conversation, these are the games they need to take advantage of. This line is soft. Give me the Bulls.
