Charlotte Hornets vs Chicago Bulls prediction

I don't want to back the Charlotte Hornets as much as the next guy, but I'm not laying points with the Bulls. As Ive said time and time again, the Bulls are a joke at both ends of the floor, and they often look like they don't want to play together. The Bulls aren't winning games, and they're 7-13-1 ATS. There are better options on Wednesdays NBA card. It's Hornets and the points or pass for me.
