The Charlotte Hornets are facing significant injury concerns, particularly in their frontcourt. Mason Plumlee is sidelined due to a groin injury, expected to be out for six weeks, while Ryan Kalbrenner is also unavailable with an elbow injury, putting pressure on the Hornets' interior rotation. On the wing, Miles Bridges is questionable with an ankle injury, Moussa Diabaté is questionable due to a wrist injury, and Grant Williams is confirmed out with a knee injury. The Chicago Bulls have a recent record of seven wins and three losses in their last ten games. However, two of those victories were at home, indicating a degree of home-court advantage. The Charlotte Hornets have a record of four wins and six losses in their last ten games, with their performance being inconsistent. The Hornets' away form has been poor. While the Hornets' form is not great, they have a favourable head-to-head record. The Bulls' tactical and technical skills are considered high, but their overall defensive capabilities are poor. Although the two teams have different recent forms, they both seem confident for this match.
