Preview

The Chicago Bulls will travel to the Amway Center and take on the Orlando Magic this evening. Chicago is favored by ten points on the road here.

Chicago Bulls

The Bulls responded with a nice road upset against the Clippers last nite, snapping their seven-game win streak along the way.

Zach Lavine is playing the best basketball of his career, and it has the Bulls looking like a real contender out East. The eighth-year guard is averaging 25.9, 5.4 rpg, and 3.7 apg.

Demar DeRozan is enjoying a career revival in the Windy City. The former USC guard is averaging a team-leading 26.3 ppg, which would mark the second highest mark for his career.

Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso give the Bulls two of the better perimeter defenders in the league. Ball struggled against Indiana, while Caruso missed his first game of the season. Both guards have come in and made life easier on the Bulls star scorers.

Nikola Vucevic's potential return will be really helpful here, as the former All-Star is one of the best rebounders in the league.

Orlando Magic

The Magic will have to go at it tonight without leading scorer Cole Anthony. The second-year guard has taken a respectable leap, improving all of his rookie averages across the board with 19.6 ppg, 6.8 rpg, and 5.9 apg.

That's a lot of production to replace, which makes Jalen Suggs a very interesting DFS play this evening. The rookie guard is averaging 11.8 ppg and 3.4 apg.

Franz Wagner is second on the team in scoring (12.4), while Wendell Carter Jr. is averaging 12.2 ppg and a team-leading 9.3 rpg.

 

Prediction

Chicago has taken back-to-back losses for the first time this season, and Orlando will present a nice spot to get back on task. The return of Nikola Vucevic will be huge for this one, as it will be a revenge game of sorts for the former Magic star. Look for Chicago's troubling tandem of Demar DeRozan and Zach Lavine to lead the Bulls to a road here.

Take the Bulls spread tonight.

PICK: Chicago Bulls -8.5
