Magic vs Bulls

The Eastern Conference is heating up as the Chicago Bulls (22-26) hit the road to face the Orlando Magic (19-30) as both teams try and contend for a play-in ...

However, the Bulls are a different team on the road and it’s become increasingly difficult for them to find answers. Orlando poses a number of mismatches on the defensive side against a smaller Bulls lineup, look for the Magic to cover at home here. Getting Vucevic comfortable with becoming a scoring option will be vital for the Bulls in the near future – he’ll also need a big game against the rookie Banchero if they want to take a step in the right direction tonight. They key for the Bulls will be to get consistent play out of Nikola Vucevic. The Orlando Magic are having a season to forget, but it’s not coming without the emergence of Paolo Banchero as a future star in the league. The Chicago Bulls continue their up-and-down season against a struggling Orlando Magic team tonight.

The Magic won the first meeting between the two teams in the Windy City earlier this year after Jalen Suggs hit a buzzer-beater to win the game at the United ...

Both teams are fighting hard to claw themselves back into the play-in picture. Bulls vs. Chicago Bulls

The Wizards defense ranks 27th in opponent mid-range rate so I expect CJ McCollum and Ingram to get to their spots tonight. Jones has the quickness and the length to give Kuzma issues.

This team also just lost some big depth by trading away Rui Hachimura to the Lakers. When healthy, the Wizards have a pretty solid interior defense but with Porzingis unlikely to play here I expect Valanciunas to get going against a small Wizards team. has gone over this projection in all six games he has played against the Bulls since he got traded. [Chris Baker](https://www.actionnetwork.com/article/author/chris-baker): The Pelicans have lost six straight games but I think this is a great “get-right” spot for them. Since Carter Jr., got traded from the Bulls to the Magic, he is averaging 21.7 points and 9.2 rebounds.

Had to rush this one. Hopefully the Bulls take it seriously, though they are on a road trip and there's that hot Orlando nightlife that may tire them.

If they were a more fully-formed team that had some resiliency in their roster they wouldn’t be as subject to shooting luck or clutch luck issues against good and bad teams alike. They have beaten the Bulls already and somehow have beaten the Celtics multiple times. No, because people know the Magic aren’t that good.

Being pressed against it, we needed a game where we could respond and come out on the winning side.'' ''This is not an excuse but we were just flat,'' said Mo Wagner, ''and part of that was we put our head down too quickly. But we weren't making shots, and that takes its toll on the defense. The Bulls led 60-47 at halftime.
