Chicago Bulls vs Orlando Magic Prediction NBA Picks 11/27/24

Chicago Bulls 

The Chicago Bulls have been in poor form as they’ve won four of their last seven games overall, but they will be looking to build some momentum after blowing past the Wizards in a 127-108 win last night. Coby White led the team in scoring with 21 points, Nikola Vucevic tallied 19 points with 12 rebounds and four assists while Zach LaVine chipped in with 18 points and four assists. As a team, the Bulls shot 50 percent from the field and 14 of 40 from the 3-point line as they caught fire and poured in 40 points in the second quarter to take a 14-point lead into halftime before they cruised in the second half and ran up the score. 

Orlando Magic 

Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic have been one of the hottest teams in the league as they’ve won nine of their last 10 games overall and they will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after routing the Hornets in a 95-84 road win on Monday. Franz Wagner led the team with 21 points, seven assists and four steals, Moritz Wagner and Cole Anthony each scored 16 points while Jonathan Isaac chipped in with 11 points off the bench. As a team, the Magic shot just 39 percent from the field and 12 of 46 from the 3-point line as they struggled to get going and scored just 18 points in the first quarter to have them trailing for most of the contest, until the fourth quarter where they exploded for 37 points to pull away late and win comfortably. 

Chicago Bulls vs Orlando Magic Prediction

The Bulls are still missing Lonzo Ball and Patrick Williams, while the Magic have ruled out Paolo Banchero and Gary Harris once again. The Bulls haven’t been at their best lately, but they would’ve taken plenty of confidence from their dominant win over the Wizards last night. However, the Magic have quietly been one of the hottest teams in the league and they should be good enough to take advantage of this Bulls squad playing their second game of a back-to-back set.
