What to Know About Chicago Bulls vs. Orlando Magic on Peacock NBA Monday
The Bulls have shown glimpses of brilliance this season, with standout performances from star players like Coby White, Josh Giddey, and Nikola Vučević. However, consistency has been an issue. After a stellar start with five consecutive victories, the Bulls hit a tough stretch, enduring a five-game losing streak earlier in November. Their previous clash with Orlando ended favorably, as Chicago secured a 110-98 win on October 25.
On the other side of the court, the Orlando Magic have faced their own set of challenges. Beginning the season slow, they turned things around recently, riding the momentum of significant victories, including two against the New York Knicks and a notable win over the Golden State Warriors on November 18. Forward Franz Wagner has been a beacon of hope for the team, leading the scoring efforts despite the absence of star forward Paolo Banchero due to injury.
