The hosts from the United Center have room for improvement as eleventh in the Eastern Conference. If they want to make it to the playoffs, the six-time NBA champions have to improve. But now there is a supposedly simple task with the bottom team from the West and we give you a Chicago Bulls vs New Orleans Pelicans prediction.
The guests have not won anything in their history and this season will not change this chronic dry spell. Quite the opposite: So far it has what it takes to be one of the weakest seasons in the history of the Mississippi franchise. The change of coach in the middle of the previous month, during which James Borrego took over the job on an interim basis, has not brought any improvement for the time being.

Instead, the Pels currently have an indisputable win rate of 15.4 percent. Only the chronically unsuccessful Wizards from Washington in the Eastern Conference beat this value in the NBA.
One construction site is the Pels’ poor defensive work, which allows the third-most opponents points per game in the league. However, this can also be observed in the case of the hosts, as the Bulls are hardly better than fourth-to-last in this ranking. For the upcoming duel between two weak defenses between the Chicago Bulls and New Orleans Pelicans, the forecast is aimed at more than 241.5 points.
