How to Watch Pelicans-Bulls Game On Wednesday

The New Orleans Pelicans (5-5) and Chicago Bulls (6-6) will play each other on Wednesday night in Chicago. Here’s how to watch, with gametime and TV information, lineups, bios, plus other key information pertaining to both teams.

They may not be the two biggest names in the NBA, but the New Orleans Pelicans and Chicago Bulls are two teams that could very well end up making the playoffs in the Western and Eastern Conferences, respectively, this season.

On Wednesday night, these two teams will play in Chicago in a game that could wind up holding some late-season standings implications.

The Pelicans have dropped three of their last four games, two of which came on the road, but they are an elite-level offensive team that can beat you in many different ways. Zion Williamson, CJ McCollum and Brandon Ingram all have the capability to score at least 20 points every single night, which is why they are not an easy team to take down.

As for the Chicago Bulls, they are still awaiting the return of Lonzo Ball in their backcourt, who will only help bolster what is already one of the league’s best defensive rotations.

Defense is the identity of the Bulls right now and things seem to be going smoothly for them, especially with DeMar DeRozan having the ability to possibly lead the league in scoring.

Neither team is looking to drop another game early on in the season, which is why the Pelicans and Bulls have a lot to play for in this one.

Here is how to watch Wednesday night’s game with gametimes and TV, lineups, bios and other must-know details.
