The Bulls are 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 road games and 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The Suns are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The under is 5-1 in Bulls last 6 overall. The over is 4-0 in Suns last 4 overall. The Bulls are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Phoenix.

The Chicago Bulls are a good enough team to deserve a look in the underdog role, but they've been shaky at best these last couple of weeks and aren't a team I'm thrilled to back in a spot like this. The Phoenix Suns remain hot and that includes winning their last five games by an average of 15.6 points, and they win at home by an average of 8.7 points. The Suns bury opponents whenever they feel like it. If that Bulls defense doesn't improve, this one could get ugly. Give me the Suns.
