Phoenix Suns Betting Preview
The Phoenix Suns have been in a major slump as they’ve lost seven of their past eight games overall and they will be hoping to snap a four-game slide after getting beaten by the Spurs in a 120-109 road defeat on Thursday. Royce O’Neale led the team with 27 points, six rebounds, and three assists, Kevin Durant added 22 points on nine of 13 shooting, Bradley Beal scored 19 points off the bench while Devin Booker chipped in with 17 points and eight assists. As a team, the Suns shot 46 percent from the field and 16 of 44 from the 3-point line as they got off to a slow start and scored just 21 points in the first quarter and kept falling further behind until the deficit ballooned to 16 points in the fourth quarter. Tyus Jones had a night to forget as he shot just one of nine from the field to finish with just three points.Â
Chicago Bulls Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have been in a slump of their own as they’ve lost 14 of their last 18 games overall and they will be hoping to avoid a sixth straight defeat after getting beaten by the Knicks in a 113-111 overtime road win on Thursday. Josh Giddey led the team with 27 points, 16 rebounds, and four assists on 11 of 18 shooting, Nikola Vucevic added 21 points with nine rebounds while Lonzo Ball chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Bulls shot just 39 percent from the field and 19 of 48 from the 3-point line as they worked hard to erase an 11-point deficit, only to miss out on two chances to steal the game at the end of the fourth quarter. Still, the Bulls had another shot in overtime, but allowed the Knicks to on a decisive 7-0 run to pull away in the end. The Bulls will meet the 76ers after this game.

Phoenix Suns vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
The Suns are still slightly shorthanded with Cody Martin still ruled out, while the Bulls have ruled out Jalen Smith and they have Ayo Dosunmu listed as questionable for this one. Two of the coldest teams in the league collide as the Suns visit the Bulls on Saturday. The Suns are mired in their worst slump of the season despite being healthy, while the Bulls have been in terrible shape but were more than competitive in their narrow overtime loss to the in-form Knicks on Thursday. You really couldn’t back either team with any confidence these days, but the Bulls represent decent value as the home underdogs so that’s where I am leaning in this one.
