Chicago @ Orlando

Current Records: Chicago 22-26; Orlando 19-30

What to Know

The Chicago Bulls will hit the road for the third straight game as they head to Amway Center at 7 p.m. ET Saturday. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

The game between the Bulls and the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday was not a total blowout, but with Chicago falling 111-96 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. Center Nikola Vucevic had a pretty forgettable game, finishing with 12 points on 5-for-16 shooting in his 35 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Friday as they fell 110-105 to the Miami Heat. The top scorers for the Magic were power forward Paolo Banchero (19 points), guard Franz Wagner (19 points), and point guard Cole Anthony (19 points).

Barring any buzzer beaters, Chicago is expected to win a tight contest. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.

In the teams' previous meeting last November, Chicago and Orlando were neck-and-neck, but Chicago came up empty-handed after a 108-107 loss. Can the Bulls avenge their defeat, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
