Schuyler Callihan: Bulls 108, Hornets 102.

The Hornets will be without Cody Martin tonight along with the usual crew who have missed recent games. It's going to be an uphill battle, but they will find a way to keep this one close. I just don't see them getting quite enough baskets to be able to win the game.

Prediction record: 12-7.

Atticus Ferguson: Bulls 117, Hornets 106.

With Zach Lavine and Nikola Vucevic listed as probable, it appears that the Bulls injury luck will not mirror that of the Hornets. I expect Charlotte to keep this one close for a majority of the contest, as the squad should be energized after finally returning home to the Spectrum Center. Eventually, the Bulls provide too many inopportune matchups for the depleted Hornets and pull away late for the road win.

Prediction record: 9-3.

James Plowright: Bulls 111, Hornets 95.

The first home game after a long road trip is normally a trap. Considering the Hornets have struggled to score against Chicago in both of their previous matchups and could be without two more rotation players with Washington and Martin out, the outcome looks all but certain.

Prediction record: 15-4.
