Players to watch

LaMelo Ball (CHA): LaMelo was pretty quiet last night, hitting just 4/12 shots from the floor and 2/7 from downtown, finishing the game with 12 points. He did record seven assists and did not turn the ball over once, which is the first time all season he's achieved that. Seeing the ball go through the hoop a little more tonight will be needed for the Bugs to snap the three-game skid.

Matas Buzelis (CHI): With Chicago down a couple of key pieces, Buzelis will have to step up to the occasion once again, much like he did last night in a seven-point win over the Orlando Magic, chipping in 21 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, and one of the best posterizing dunks this season, going over Jalen Suggs.

Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook

The Hornets took the last meeting against Chicago, winning by seven in Uptown. With the Bulls surging, they enter this one (as of now) as two-point favorites. The over/under is currently sitting at 237.5.
