The Chicago Bulls and the Orlando Magic duke it out at the Kia Center on Thursday night. Here’s a Chicago Bulls vs Orlando Magic Prediction. This article will include a Chicago Bulls vs Orlando Magic Pick.
Chicago Bulls Betting Preview
The Chicago Bulls have been in a real slump as they’ve lost nine of their last 11 games overall. They will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting thrashed by the Cavaliers in a 139-117 home defeat on Tuesday. Coby White led the team with 25 points and seven assists, Zach Collins added 20 points with 12 rebounds and three steals while Talen Horton-Tucker chipped in with 22 points and six assists off the bench. As a team, the Bulls shot 44 percent from the field and 11 of 44 from the 3-point line. They took it to the Cavaliers to stay within striking distance until the fourth quarter where they got outscored by 43-23 to get blown out in the end. The Bulls will meet the Heat and Pacers after this game.
Orlando Magic Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic have been doing it tough as they’ve lost five of their last six games overall. They will be hoping to snap a four-game losing streak after falling painfully short to the Raptors in a 114-113 loss on Tuesday. Paolo Banchero led the team with 41 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, and four steals, Franz Wagner added 28 points while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope chipped in with 12 points. As a team, the Magic shot 48 percent from the field and 15 of 36 from the 3-point line as they rallied all the way back from a 12-point fourth-quarter deficit to take the lead with just 4.1 seconds left on the clock. The Raptors Ja’Kobe Walter drained the game-winner at the buzzer to snatch the game away. The Magic will face the Bucks and Rockets following this one.

Chicago Bulls vs Orlando Magic Prediction
The Bulls are still keeping eyes on Patrick Williams, Kevin Huerter, Lonzo Ball, and Josh Giddey who are all questionable, while the Magic have ruled out Jalen Suggs again, and they have Cole Anthony listed as questionable. The Bulls are coming into this one fresh off another blowout loss, but they were more than competitive for most of the contest against the red-hot Cavaliers in their last game which will give them some confidence moving forward. The Magic haven’t been in much better form as they have now lost four in a row after dropping a winnable game against the lowly Raptors in their last outing. This is definitely one of those games where you should check the lineups before tipoff given the injury cloud hanging over the Bulls. With that being said, I am slightly more comfortable taking the Magic at home with my fingers crossed that the Bulls sit out a bunch of players.
