Dallas Mavericks vs Chicago Bulls Prediction 3/29/25 NBA Picks

The Dallas Mavericks travel to the United Center to take on the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night. Here’s a Dallas Mavericks vs Chicago Bulls Prediction. This article will include a Dallas Mavericks vs Chicago Bulls Pick.

The Dallas Mavericks are starting to turn things around as they have won three of their past four games overall, and they will be eager to keep it going after sneaking past the Magic in a 101-92 road win on Thursday. Jaden Hardy led the team with 22 points off the bench, Anthony Davis added 15 points with seven rebounds and two assists, and Brandon Williams chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Mavericks shot 47 percent from the field and 11 of 22 from the 3-point line as they struggled for most of the contest and looked in trouble when they trailed by 11 points. Before they flipped the script and dominated the third quarter by 34-20 to reclaim the lead and earn the narrow road win despite a poor shooting night from Spencer Dinwiddie, who shot just two of seven for his seven points. 

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have been in red-hot form as they've won nine of their last 11 games overall, and they will be gunning for a fifth straight victory after outlasting the Lakers in a thrilling 119-117 home win on Thursday. Coby White led the team in scoring with 26 points and nine assists on nine of 20 shooting, Kevin Huerter added 21 points with six rebounds and five assists, and Josh Giddey tallied a triple-double of 25 points with 14 rebounds and 11 assists. As a team, the Bulls shot 46 percent from the field and 19 of 44 from the 3-point line as they struggled against the Lakers for most of the game. They looked to be in deep trouble after trailing by 18 points before they exploded for 44 points in the fourth quarter to snatch the game away, thanks to a ridiculous half-court game-winner from Giddey at the buzzer.

Why the Chicago Bulls will win

• The Mavericks have lost each of their last six night games following a road win.
• The Bulls have won seven of their last eight home games against Southwest Division opponents following a win.
• The Mavericks have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six games as road underdogs against Eastern Conference opponents following a win.
• The Bulls have covered the spread in 10 of their last 11 games.

Why the Dallas Mavericks will win

• The Bulls have lost three of their last four games as favorites against Western Conference opponents.
• The Mavericks have won four of their last six games as underdogs against the Bulls.
• The Bulls have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four games as home favorites against Western Conference opponents.
• The Mavericks have covered the spread in four of their last five night games against Eastern Conference opponents that held a losing record.

The Mavericks are still keeping eyes on Kai Jones and PJ Washington, who are both questionable, while the Bulls have ruled out Lonzo Ball and Ayo Dosunmu once again. The Mavericks are starting to get some players back from injury, and it has been translating into wins for them. But it's the Bulls who come into this game as the hotter team after they came back against the Lakers to keep their win streak alive. The Mavericks are more than capable of pulling off the minor upset on the road, but it's hard to go past the Bulls, who have quietly been one of the hottest teams in the league over the past two weeks.
