2 Hornets vs Bulls Parlay Picks: ATS and Prop Bet for Dec 13

1. Charlotte Hornets ATS +5½

This game on paper might look like an interesting one, but with the Chicago Bulls limping into this matchup banged up – especially with leader SG Zach LaVine (22.1 points per game) listed as a game-time decision (per updated Hornets vs. Bulls injuries) – I’m rolling with the Charlotte Hornets to take the points on the road and cover.

Yes, the Bulls have been an offensive juggernaut, but when nearly their entire lineup is questionable and Charlotte comes in fully healthy, this one has “road steal” written all over it. Let’s also not overlook the fact that the Bulls are just 3-9 at home, while the Hornets are slightly less awful at 2-8 on the road. Throw in Chicago’s awful defense – ranked 29th in the NBA, allowing 123 points per game – and it’s not hard to see where this is headed.

Meanwhile, Charlotte’s dynamic duo of PG LaMelo Ball and F Brandon Miller have been on a rampage as of late. Ball leads the way with a team-high 31.1 points, 6.9 assists, and 5.4 rebounds, while Miller chips in 22.1 points, 3.5 assists, and 5.2 boards. And don’t forget the supporting cast: SF Miles Bridges is adding 16 points per game, and C Nick Richards is a walking double-double with 11.6 points and 10.2 rebounds.

With the Hornets’ youth and athleticism up against a depleted Bulls squad that struggles on the defensive end, this game feels like a gift. Take the Hornets and the NBA spread on the road – they’re covering this one.

Bet This Pick: Hornets +5.5 (-105)

2. Hornets F Brandon Miller to Score 25+ Points

The Bulls are going to have their hands full in this one – trying to patch things up from their injury struggles, and with that in mind, I’m expecting forward F Brandon Miller to stay hot and score more than 25 points in this game.

Over his last five games, Miller has cleared 25 points in three of them, with two of those performances crossing the 32-point mark. Now he’s up against a Bulls team scrambling to recover from injuries and still figuring out how to play defense – ranked 29th in the league, in case you forgot.

With Chicago’s focus locked on slowing down PG LaMelo Ball, Miller should have plenty of opportunities to exploit the gaps. Don’t be surprised when the rookie forward comes up big again.

Bank on this NBA player prop to deliver.
