Prediction for the NBA match between Chicago vs San Antonio, which will take place on January 7th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Bulls have the potential to be a playoff team in the East, but Chicago has yet to find stability and currently sits in tenth place. With a 16-19 record, Chicago is just one win ahead of Philadelphia in 11th place.

The Bulls' main problem this season has been their defence. Billy Donovan's side is conceding an average of 121.3 points per game, second last in the league. At the same time, the Bulls are fifth in the league in scoring with 117.9 points per game.

Chicago showed their skills last time out, beating New York 139-126 at home, one of the strongest teams in the Eastern Conference. Chicago has now won three of their last four games, including 116-111 over Milwaukee.

While Chicago has been trying to solve their tournament problems for some time now, with mixed success, this season has been a breakthrough for San Antonio. Last year, the Texans were one of the league's biggest underdogs, but now they are firmly in the Western Conference play-in zone - currently in ninth place with an 18-17 record.

San Antonio played the last two games against Denver, first beating them 113-110 at home and then failing 111-122 (108-108) in overtime at home.

Chicago and San Antonio are about evenly matched this season. In fact, they are in similar positions in the respective conferences. So, we think the Spurs are underestimated in the upcoming game, while the Bulls are overestimated, considering Chicago's long winning streak in H2H games. Here, we back the home team and the total over, taking into account the uneven nature of the Bulls' game. We are also waiting for the total over of assists.
