Chicago at Charlotte

Chicago comes off a rare victory as the Bulls beat Miami 105-89 on Wednesday, but they haven't won two in a row since late December and they have lost 14 of their last 16 games. Chicago point guard Zach LaVine is questionable (ankle) plus he's been rumored to be traded soon. LaVine leads the Bulls with a 22.9 scoring average and his absence would top off another miserable season for Chicago. Charlotte lost at Boston, but now the Hornets come home where they are 17-8 straight-up and 14-11 ATS. The Hornets won the last meeting by 29 points on this court and they are 6-2 ATS the last eight meetings at home against the Bulls. The home team has covered the last four meetings and the Bulls are 1-5 ATS their last six games versus teams with losing records. Play the Hornets.
