Magic vs Bulls Prediction

The Bulls are stiill missing Lonzo Ball and Zach LaVine but they are expected to have Alex Caruso and Torrey Craig available, while the Magic are coming into this one with a full squad. The Bulls are searching for some momentum after coming back to back the Grizzlies in a gritty win on Thursday, while the Magic are getting healthy again and it has translated into instant success with four wins in their past five games. It's hard to split these two at the moment, but the Magic are on a roll and I think they can keep it going with another win and cover at home.
