Chicago Bulls vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
The Suns have shown flashes here and there recently as they can sneak into the play-in tournament if they want. The problem is the Suns have been the most underachieving team and not a team I’m excited to be back in the big favorite role. The Suns have a 39.7 percent cover percentage. Only the Pelicans and 76ers are worse. The Bulls have quietly won six of their last nine games and have moved out of the 10th seed in the East. Two teams fighting for playoff positioning, but both are hard to trust night-to-night. The Bulls are at least profitable with a 35-32-1 ATS record. Give me the Bulls and the points if forced to pick.
