- The Rockets are red-hot coming into Thursday’s action, having won six games in a row.
- Even without Alperen Sengun, the Rockets have been playing well, as Ime Udoka is a better coach than Billy Donovan in today’s NBA.
The Chicago Bulls will face off with the Houston Rockets on March 21, 2024 at 8:00 pm ET. The opening betting odds from DraftKings Sportsbook have the Chicago Bulls as 3.0 point underdogs.

We expect Thursday’s Bulls vs Rockets game to be won by the Houston Rockets at home. The Rockets have won six games in a row entering this contest despite their star center Alperen Sengun going down with an injury that is expected to end his regular season. Here, we will take the Rockets to cover the spread against a Bulls team that is just too inconsistent on the defensive end of the floor to have much faith in.
