Chicago Bulls vs. New Orleans Pelicans Free Prediction

The Bulls failed to cover as 7.5-point underdogs in their 118-110 loss to the Dallas Mavericks in their last matchup. The total points for the game (228) came in over the O/U total of 217.5. Dallas’ 0.167 free throw rate was their largest strength over Chicago, who had a mark of 0.092. The Mavericks’ mark was below their season average of 0.208, while the Bulls’ was below their season average of 0.186. Lauri Markkanen was Chicago’s leading scorer with 26 points on 10-for-18 shooting.

In the Pelicans’ last game, they dropped a tough one to the Utah Jazz, 128-126, but did cover as 4-point underdogs. The total points for the game (254) finished well over the O/U total of 221.5. Utah’s effective field goal percentage was their biggest strength over New Orleans. The Jazz had a rate of 0.600 (above their season average of 0.538), while the Pelicans posted a mark of 0.548. With 35 points on 12-for-26 shooting, Brandon Ingram was the game’s high scorer.

After the Pelicans won both games against the Bulls last season, these teams will battle for the first time this year. In the last contest, New Orleans won 125-120. The Pelicans had a much better offensive rebounding percentage (34.1 vs. 22.0) and had a better free throw rate (0.235 vs. 0.154).

Meanwhile, New Orleans owns records of 12-25 SU and 15-19-3 ATS. Contrary to Chicago, games featuring the Pelicans have gone over the projected point total 51.4 percent of the time.
