Rockets Face Bulls in Chicago

Rockets Look to End Losing Streak Against Bulls

The Houston Rockets (13-45) will look to end their five-game losing streak when they take on the Chicago Bulls (20-38) on Wednesday night at the United Center.

The Rockets have been struggling mightily of late, losing their last five games by an average of 16.6 points. They have also lost 10 of their last 11 games and are now just 3-17 on the road this season.

The Bulls, meanwhile, have been playing better of late, winning three of their last five games. They are now 10-19 at home this season and will be looking to improve on that record against the Rockets.

What to Expect From the Game

The Rockets are expected to be without Christian Wood (thumb) and Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) for Wednesday's game. Wood is the team's leading scorer and rebounder, while Porter is their third-leading scorer.

The Bulls are expected to be at full strength for the game. DeMar DeRozan is the team's leading scorer and rebounder, while Zach LaVine is their second-leading scorer.

The Rockets will need to play a perfect game if they want to have a chance to win on Wednesday. They will need to shoot the ball well, rebound the ball well, and defend at a high level.

Prediction

The Bulls are a better team than the Rockets on paper, and they are also playing at home. I expect the Bulls to win this game by a score of 115-100.
