Chicago Bulls vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction NBA Picks 11/1/24

The Chicago Bulls invade the Barclays Center to do battle with the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night. Here’s a Chicago Bulls vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction. This article will include a Chicago Bulls vs Brooklyn Nets Pick.

The Chicago Bulls have been building nicely as they’ve won three of their last four games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after sneaking past the Magic in a 102-99 home win on Wednesday. Coby White led the team with 21 points on eight of 16 shooting, Josh Giddey added 20 points with 11 rebounds and five assists, Nikola Vucevic tallied 18 points with 14 rebounds and five assists while Zach LaVine chipped in with 11 points, 10 rebounds, and three assists. As a team, the Bulls shot just 42 percent from the field and 13 of 34 from the 3-point line as they got off to a terrible start, scoring just 18 points in the first quarter to fall behind by 20 points. However, the Bulls worked their way back into the contest and played excellent defense to restrict the Magic to just 12 points in the fourth quarter to finish with an impressive comeback victory. 

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets are starting to turn things around themselves as they have now won two of their last three games after routing the Grizzlies by 119-106 road win on Wednesday. Dennis Schroder led the team with 33 points on 11 of 14 shooting, Cam Thomas added 19 points, Ziaire Williams scored 17 points, while Cam Johnson chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Nets shot 51 percent from the field and 15 of 41 from the 3-point line as they came out swinging, pouring in 67 points in the first half, but they really weren’t safe until they went on a 15-5 run in the fourth quarter to pull away and win on the road. The Nets will meet the Pistons after this game.

The Bulls are going to be shorthanded again with Lonzo Ball ruled out and Zach LaVine listed as questionable, while the Nets are still missing Bojan Bogdanovic. We are only five games into the regular season, but the Bulls and the Nets have something in common as they’ve both beaten the Bucks and the Grizzlies. The Bulls’ addition of Giddey has been a smooth transition, while the Nets have leaned heavily on Dennis Schroder who has hit the ground running this season. It’s hard to split these two squads at the moment, but I’ve been more impressed by the Bulls so far and I think they represent decent value as the underdogs in this one.
