Josh Giddey and the Chicago Bulls face LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets in this NBA matchup at the Spectrum Center.

The Chicago Bulls have emerged as a ‘team to watch’ in the trade market for a former lottery pick, according to an NBA insider.

The Chicago Bulls snapped a seven-game losing streak Friday, rallying past the Charlotte Hornets 129-126. Center Nikola Vučević did not play for the final 18:58 of the win.

Josh Giddey had 26 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds, Zach Collins added 16 points and eight rebounds off the bench and the Chicago Bulls erased a 13-point second half deficit to beat the Charlotte Hornets 129-126 and snap a seven-game losing streak.

The jury is still out on Chicago Bulls rookie Noa Essengue, but it’s going to remain that way for a long time. Not only is he a young, raw prospect, but he also won’t play basketball again this season.

The Thunder are on pace to become the greatest team ever in the NBA, but are they better than Michael Jordan's Bulls in the 90s?

In not-so-great news, Ayo Dosunmu and Kevin Huerter did not make the trip to Charlotte. The former is dealing with a thumb sprain, while the latter is still rehabbing his adductor strain. While it does not sound as if either is expected to miss extensive time, it's unclear exactly when the Bulls plan to see either back on the floor.
