img7:00 PM Eastern

Chicago has won and covered nine of 11 meetings, but the Bulls now look for payback for a 123-116 loss to the Hornets on Nov. 28. Chicago is on a seven-game slide, but still is favored on the road as the Hornets actually have a worse record, as they seem to be constantly retooling year after year. The Bulls are 18-7-2 their past 27 road games against teams with losing home records. Charlotte is 16-8 UNDER this season and has gone UNDER in eight games in a row. Also, the Hornets are 5-0 UNDER following a loss, and it has stayed UNDER in their past four home games. Chicago has had five days to think about its worst offensive performance of the season, scoring just 91 points against Golden State. The Bulls are 9-4 ATS against the Southeast Division. Take the Bulls and the UNDER.
