PREVIEW: The Chicago Bulls will attempt to snap a three-game home losing skid when they host the New Orleans Pelicans on December 14, 2025. The Bulls have lost eight of their last ten games overall after snapping a seven-game losing streak with a road victory over Charlotte. Chicago enters as a 4.5-point favorite in this matchup. Both squads enter this contest without reliable shot quality metrics, making it difficult to assess how efficiently each team has been converting their opportunities at the rim and from distance. The Pelicans have endured a rough stretch, losing 22 of their opening 26 games. However, New Orleans just snapped a seven-game losing streak with a dominant 143-120 victory over Portland. The Pelicans remain without Dejounte Murray and could be without Zion Williamson due to an adductor strain, though they come in feeling energized after their Trail Blazers performance. The Bulls have dropped each of their last six home games as favorites following a road win, while underdogs have won four of the last five matchups between these two clubs.
