Chicago Bulls vs Charlotte Hornets Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 28, 2025

Brandon Miller's 27 points powered Charlotte past Chicago, but the offensive firepower on both sides fell well short of expectations in a second-half slog that sent the total tumbling. The Hornets edged the Bulls 123–116, combining for just 239 points against a market total of 248.5, cashing the under by 9.5.

The first half resembled the high-octane pace both teams had shown recently: combined scoring reached 129 through two quarters, with Q2 the game's most explosive frame at 68 combined points. Josh Giddey orchestrated Chicago's attack with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 9 assists, while Coby White matched his output at 25 points. Miles Bridges contributed 22 points and 8 rebounds for Charlotte, and Collin Sexton added 21 points to keep the hosts competitive. But the second half unraveled into a defensive grind. Q3 yielded just 58 combined points, and Q4 dipped further to 52, as both offenses stalled in the final 24 minutes. Charlotte's recent form—allowing 121.3 per game over its last 10—and Chicago's defensive struggles (130.3 allowed per game in that span) suggested neither unit would sustain early momentum. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed, as the game's second-half collapse validated the contrarian lean against the chalk.
