The Bulls are below the radar right now, a much improved team not getting enough respect from the linesmaker.

Chicago added DeMar DeRozan and Lonzo Ball to go with emerging superstar Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic. 

The Bulls covered against the Pistons on the road in their opener despite shooting 43 percent from the floor and hitting 30 percent of their 3-pointers. 
New Orleans, on the other hand, isn't going to get good until  it gets Zion Williamson back. He's recovering from surgery for a broken foot.

The Pelicans have a new bench and lack experience. They aren't likely to have Josh Hart, Williamson's replacement, after he suffered a quad injury in the Pelicans' opening game, a 117-97 home loss to the 76ers.
