Key Storylines
- The Bulls enter off a disappointing stretch, having dropped three straight road games. Their defensive lapses in the paint and on drives have been costly. Losses against the Pelicans, Pacers, and Hornets are each embarrassing on their own. They are even more embarrassing when they happen consecutively.
- On the flip side, the Magic are playing with confidence offensively. Orlando has scored 129 points or more in four of their last five games. Their offensive rhythm appears strong and they will be confident going into this game against a struggling Bulls team.
- Josh Giddey has been the leader for the Bulls this season. He has averaged 20.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 9.3 assists per game. Giddey is averaging close to a triple-double and will try to make a big impact here as well. For Orlando, Franz Wagner continues to lead the way with 22.8 points per game, complemented by meaningful contributions from players like Desmond Bane and Paolo Banchero.
Head-to-Head & Betting Trends
Recent meetings between these two have been competitive. In the last five games between Chicago and Orlando, Chicago has taken three wins, including a 110–98 road victory earlier this season. That shows the Bulls are capable of playing better than they have so far this season.
Still, the betting trends lean toward Orlando going into Monday night. Chicago is struggling on the road, going 0–6 ATS in their last six away games. Orlando still has a winning record against the spread this season at 11-9 and they will aim to improve on their 55% win rate against the spread for the season.

| Player | Prop to Watch |

Final Thoughts
With Chicago struggling on the road and defensively leaky, the edge goes clearly to the Magic in this contest. I’m going to lay the points with the Magic here, as they should continue to punish a Bulls team that has been getting torched defensively against teams that are far worse than Orlando.
