Yesterday’s Results for Chicago Bulls vs Charlotte Hornets

Sean's NBA MONDAY O/U ROUT! 16-9 RUN!

Analysis: My selection is on the 'over' between Chicago and Charlotte at 7:10 pm ET on Monday. While their previous meeting resulted in a low-scoring contest, the underlying pace suggests potential for a much different outcome this time around. Both teams launched 93 or more field goal attempts in that game, but poor shooting suppressed the total. Expect a regression to the mean in shooting efficiency here. Chicago's offense has been rolling, registering 53 and 45 made field goals in its last two games. However, its defense has struggled to keep opponents in check, surrendering 40 or more made field goals in 9 of its last 13 contests. Furthermore, the Bulls have allowed opponents to hoist 92 or more field goal attempts in 10 of their last 12 outings, indicative of high-pace games. Charlotte is coming off a dismal shooting effort against Oklahoma City, a top-tier defensive unit. The Hornets, however, will welcome a less stringent Chicago defense. Note that Charlotte has allowed eight of its last 10 opponents to exceed 40 made field goals. These trends align with the likelihood of a higher-scoring game than expected. Take the over. Projected score: Chicago 118, Charlotte 114.
