Prediction for the Charlotte Hornets vs Chicago Bulls match will occur on December 31. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Hornets have struggled offensively this season, so they won't make the tournament. Charles Lee's team is last in the league in offensive efficiency rating, averaging just 106.1 points per game. Charlotte is 13th in the East with a 7:24 record and is 6.5 wins out of the top 10 in the play-in zone.

In their last game at home against Western Conference leaders Oklahoma, Charlotte failed to reach the 100-point mark, losing 94:106. The loss was the seventh in a row for the North Carolina team.

The Bulls are just outside the top 10 in the Eastern Conference. Billy Donovan's side has won 14 of their 32 games and is 0.5 wins ahead of 11th-placed Philadelphia. In terms of game characteristics, Chicago, unlike Charlotte, is struggling on the defensive end. The Bulls give up an average of 121.4 points per game. Only Washington is worse.

The Bulls played their last game at home against Milwaukee and surprisingly won 116:111. Nikola Vucevic scored 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, while point guard Josh Giddey had a triple-double with 23 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists.

Chicago has a long winning streak against Charlotte, and Billy Donovan's team has also beaten the Hornets in this league. The Bulls also have a better tournament position, ambitions, and prospects, so a Bulls victory in the upcoming match will not be a surprise. We bet on the visitors to win and the under-under, considering Charlotte's penultimate line in the defensive rating.
