Hornets vs Bulls Prediction

I don’t want to back the Bulls as much as the next guy, as they’re not winning or covering games. The Bulls are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games and just lost to the Hornets a couple of weeks ago. However, the Bulls are still better than the Hornets no matter how you slice it, especially with Charlotte as banged up as it is. The Hornets aren’t good at full strength. Take away Sexton, Ball, and others, and that roster gets dark. This matchup is just what the doctor ordered for the Bulls and honestly, if they can’t take advantage, you have to start looking around for some sort of accountability. There are no excuses for the Bulls. Line is soft. Give me the road team on Friday.
