Teams Preview
Chicago Bulls
Coach Billy Donovan is using available players on the roster in an injury-hit season to navigate through a tough period. While the form of Josh Giddey and Nikola Vucevic has been highlighted for the coach, the team hardly had the whole roster available in games to challenge for the playoffs.
In their recent five home matches, the Windy City side averaged 108 points per game while conceding an average of 117.4 points. The team lost all five games, though Giddey remained the brightest star.
Behind its back-court pairing, the side improved its offensive play. They have an average of 29 assists, which ranks fifth in the league, along with 14.8 turnovers per game. The team ranks 12th in the season with a scoring average of 116.1.
The issue is with its defensive side, where the Bulls take 25th position with a defensive rating of 117.2. The team is averaging 7.8 steals and 5.1 blocks per game. The side managed 44.8 rebounds per game, which is the 11th-best performance in the 2025-26 season.
Charlotte Hornets
Miles Bridges, Kon Knuppel and LaMelo Ball are leading the Charlotte Hornets to seal victories. They had been struggling to find the perfect pairing for their star guard, and now use an efficient forward lineup to get through the games.
The Charlotte Hornets have performed exceptionally well in their last five away games, securing a 4–1 record during their most recent road stretch. During this period, the team averaged 118.8 points scored while conceding 110.6 points per game. LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller were star of the games.
Over the season, the team averages 115.6 points (16th in the league) this season, which is a massive leap from last season’s average (105.4). The side has also improved its defence in recent games and sits 15th with a 115.1 defensive rating.
Interestingly, the team managed a strong presence around the board, with 46.1 rebounds and 4.5 blocks per game. With quick hands, the team averages 6.8 steals per game.
