After being teammates for most of their lives, Lonzo and LaMelo Ball have not had many chances to face each other head-to-head. Both players' injuries have further limited those opportunities, making Friday night's Chicago Bulls vs. Charlotte Hornets matchup a rare occasion.
Both players called the opportunity to face each other “a blessing” ahead of the game, per Bulls insider K.C. Johnson. The matchup will just be the fourth time the two brothers will play against each other, with Lonzo Ball ahead on the scoreboard 2-1. Chicago is favored to win the game according to the oddsmakers.
