Chicago Bulls vs Orlando Magic Preview

The Chicago Bulls are coming off a 139-117 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. They were simply outmatched against the best team in the NBA. They were also short on players with Nikola Vucevic, Lonzo Ball, Josh Giddey, Patrick Williams and Kevin Huerter all injured.

The Bulls enter tonight's game with a record of 24-38, which is still good for 10th place in the Eastern Conference standings. They might be on the NBA Play-in Spots, but they are among the worst teams in the league at the moment. They are 2-8 in their past 10 games.

Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic are on a four-game losing streak. They have been miserable for the past couple of months despite getting back Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner healthy. They have lost their identity after enduring a lot of injuries early in the season.

The Magic have a record of 29-34, putting them in the Top 8 and are still within striking distance of the sixth seed. They are just 6.5 games behind the Detroit Pistons, but they need to find some momentum and overcome the current adversity.
