Chicago Bulls vs. New Orleans Pelicans: A Statistical Slapstick Showdown
Date: November 25, 2025 | Time: 1:10 AM ET | Location: Smoothie King Center
The Spread: Chicago Bulls -5.5 (-112) | New Orleans Pelicans +5.5 (-108)
Total: 244.5 points (Over -108, Under -112)
Why the Bulls Should Win (With a Side of Humor):
The Chicago Bulls (9-7) are favored to stomp the Pelicans (-5.5), who are 2-15 and currently riding a nine-game losing streak. The Pelicans’ defense is about as reliable as a broken umbrella in a hurricane (27th in defensive rating), and their rebounding struggles (20th in opponent rebounds) will likely leave Nikola Vucevic to dominate the glass. Vucevic is a -113 favorite to eclipse 27.5 total points+rebounds (19.5 P/10.5 R), which is just his average performance… on a good night.
Player Props to Bet Like Your Job Depends on It:
1. Josh Giddey (Bulls): The 20-year-old Aussie is a triple-double machine in training. He’s a -118 favorite to rack up 28.5 points+rebounds+assists, which is just 2.5 shy of his season average (31.3). If he hits this, book a vacation to Mars—this won’t happen again this century.
2. Nikola Vucevic (Bulls): He’s a -113 lock to grab 17.5 rebounds, which is just his floor. The Pelicans’ frontcourt? A collective "Where’d the ball go?!" moment.
3. Trey Murphy III (Pelicans): The Pelicans’ lone bright spot? His 20.5 points line is a -130 favorite, but good luck—his team’s offense is about as efficient as a toaster in a wind tunnel.
The Verdict:
The Bulls’ 67.2% implied win probability (based on -112 odds) suggests this is a "safe" play, though "safe" is a relative term when Zion Williamson is on the Pelicans. Bet the Bulls -5.5 and the Over 244.5—because the Pelicans’ defense is about to set a season high in… existential dread.
Final Score Prediction: Chicago 122, New Orleans 107.
Prop Bets to Win Friends and Influence People:
- Giddey’s triple-double (50/50 shot, but still).
- Vucevic’s 10+ rebounds (as inevitable as taxes).
Note: This prediction assumes Zion Williamson doesn’t suddenly develop a sixth sense for finding loose balls. No guarantees. 🏀
