Brooklyn Nets host Chicago Bulls on 18 November 2026 in the NBA, with the Nets the model favourite and a 56% chance to win. The Nets have gone 3-8 all games this season, scoring 110.2 points per game while allowing 115.3, and sit 25th in the league; at home they are 1-3, averaging 105.0 points and conceding 115.0. Their last five games include a 145-111 win over New Orleans, a 93-130 loss to Dallas and a 121-124 defeat to Atlanta. The Bulls are 1-9 overall, 113.3 points per game and 128.8 points allowed, positioned 27th; on the road they are 1-5, 107.7 points scored and 130.0 points allowed, and have lost all five of their recent games, including a 119-124 loss to San Antonio, a 121-127 defeat to Philadelphia and a 105-135 loss to New York. In their ten meetings the Nets have won seven, most recently beating the Bulls 123-115 on 9 February 2026. Pythia projects a 119-117 score, with a total of 235.8 points and a 7% chance of overtime. The Nets' 56% probability to win and 44% for the Bulls reflect the model's assessment. The game will hinge on whether Chicago can overcome its recent struggles and the Nets' defensive lapses.
