Prediction published on 17/11/2024, 04:41  by Kennedy Kechula | Modified on 17/11/2024 at 04:44 in NBA Predictions

The in-form Houston Rockets will be away to the Chicago Bulls in their next NBA assignment. They currently sit third in the Western Conference whereas their hosts are 11th in the East. Read on for our prediction of this match.

The Bulls suffered their eighth loss of the campaign last time out, going down 144-126 away to the Cavaliers. Billy Donovan’s men have struggled, especially at home where they have won just one of their five games.

They possess one of the worst defences and in their last three games, have conceded a whopping 128.7 points on average. Lonzo Ball is still unavailable due to injury and is the only player set to miss this game for the Bulls.

While the Bulls have struggled, the Rockets have been cruising. Ime Udoka’s men have won nine of their 13 games and are on a four-match winning run. They have won against two Eastern Conference teams, the Wizards and Pistons, in this purple patch.

The Rockets, who have averaged 114.3 points over their last three games, are coming off a back-to-back with the Clippers. They were dominant in the second game, securing a 125-104 victory.

The Rockets do not have any major injuries coming into this match, and have won five of their last eight trips to Chicago.
