ChatGPT prediction for Chicago Bulls vs New Orleans Pelicans, 15 December 2025.
Final call: back the Chicago Bulls on the moneyline at 1.48.
Chicago’s depth, improved home defense this month and superior spacing give them matchup control. The Bulls have been steadier at the United Center and their rotation can absorb a couple of questionable role players without collapsing the game plan.
New Orleans arrives thin up front, burning starters heavy minutes while relying on a struggling bench and a team dealing with a distracting social-media incident. Their prolonged road slump and limited scoring depth make them vulnerable late.
I project Chicago’s true win probability above the market-implied level, making a $1 moneyline wager on the Bulls the cleaner, value-driven play here.

Gemini prediction for Chicago Bulls vs New Orleans Pelicans, 15 December 2025.
The Chicago Bulls enter this contest as clear favorites at 1.48, and the news suggests good reason for it. Chicago has shown strong home form lately, benefiting from improved defense and depth, a point echoed by former NBA guard Jalen Rose who predicts their balanced attack will outwork New Orleans. The Pelicans, conversely, are mired in a significant road slump, carrying one of the league’s worst away records.
Ex-Pelicans forward Darius Miles rightly warned about their road woes and limited bench scoring, which is exacerbated by key frontcourt depth injuries forcing heavier minutes on their starters. A recent social media spat has also created an unwelcome distraction in their locker room. While a local radio host flagged this as a potential "trap game" if the Bulls underestimate the Pelicans' shooters, the overwhelming evidence points to Chicago capitalizing on New Orleans’ struggles and securing a home victory.

Claude prediction for Chicago Bulls vs New Orleans Pelicans, 15 December 2025.
The Bulls enter as 1.48 favorites at home, and for good reason. Chicago's improved defense, as noted by local radio, gives them a significant edge against a Pelicans squad struggling on the road. New Orleans' thin rotation and bench scoring issues, highlighted by former Pelican Darius Miles, make them particularly vulnerable away from home.
Jalen Rose's assessment of Chicago's depth advantage appears spot-on, especially with the Pelicans missing key frontcourt pieces. The forced heavy minutes for New Orleans starters will likely lead to fatigue against the Bulls' balanced attack.
The social media distraction in the Pelicans' locker room couldn't come at a worse time for a team already battling road woes. Meanwhile, Chicago's steadier performance at the United Center suggests they'll control this matchup.
While the 2.70 underdog odds for New Orleans might tempt some bettors, the Bulls' home spacing and improved defensive form make Chicago the safer and more profitable bet despite the shorter odds.

Grok prediction for Chicago Bulls vs New Orleans Pelicans, 15 December 2025.
The Chicago Bulls are primed to capitalize on their home-court advantage in this matchup against a struggling New Orleans Pelicans squad. With the Bulls listed as favorites at 1.48, the odds reflect their steadier form at the United Center, where they've been hitting lower team totals and showing improved defense this month, as noted by local radio hosts. Jalen Rose's take on Chicago's depth and balanced attack rings true, especially against a Pelicans team mired in a road slump and one of the league's worst records.
New Orleans' vulnerabilities are glaring: Darius Miles highlighted their thin bench and limited scoring options, compounded by missing key frontcourt depth. This forces heavy minutes on starters, which could wear them down on the road. Add in that distracting social-media spat involving a Pelicans role player, and the locker room feels unsettled heading into Chicago.
While the Bulls have a couple of role players questionable, their overall rotation looks tighter and more reliable. This isn't just a trap game—it's a spot where Chicago's edge in spacing and work ethic should shine, covering the modest spread and securing the win. For bettors eyeing value, the 1.48 on the Bulls offers a solid, low-risk play in a favorable setup.

DeepSeek prediction for Chicago Bulls vs New Orleans Pelicans, 15 December 2025.
The Chicago Bulls enter this matchup with clear advantages at home, where they've shown improved defensive form and steady play. Recent analysis from Jalen Rose highlights Chicago's depth and spacing, which should exploit a thin Pelicans rotation that's missing key frontcourt players.
New Orleans struggles on the road, and off-court distractions from a viral social-media spat could further disrupt their focus. With the Pelicans forced to rely heavily on their starters due to injuries, fatigue may set in late.
Given these factors, the Bulls' balanced attack and home-court edge make them a strong bet at 1.48, despite the heavy juice. The value lies in Chicago's consistency against a reeling opponent.

Qwen prediction for Chicago Bulls vs New Orleans Pelicans, 15 December 2025.
The Chicago Bulls enter this matchup as clear favorites with odds of 1.48, reflecting their strong home form and balanced roster. Jalen Rose’s comments about the Bulls’ depth ring true, especially given New Orleans’ struggles on the road and their thin bench. Without key frontcourt players, the Pelicans will lean heavily on their starters, potentially leading to fatigue against a Bulls team that thrives in transition and spacing at the United Center.
Defensively, Chicago has quietly been improving, which could neutralize any offensive bursts from New Orleans. The Pelicans’ recent off-court distractions, including a viral social-media spat involving a role player, add another layer of concern for a team already battling inconsistency. While oddsmakers have set modest expectations for the Bulls, their steadiness at home makes them a reliable bet in this spot.
On paper, the Pelicans’ odds of 2.70 might tempt some bettors looking for an underdog play, but their road woes and reliance on a short rotation make it hard to trust them here. This feels like a game where Chicago’s experience and cohesion can close out a victory comfortably.
