Brooklyn Nets vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
What have the Chicago Bulls done to deserve to be a 5.5-point favorite? The Bulls are at home and have the rest advantage, but this line is nuts. The Bulls are a below-average team that doesn’t win, cover or play defense. The Brooklyn Nets are on the end of a back-to-back, but they’re still 13-7-1 ATS on the season. The Nets have also won 4 straight games against the Bulls, and one of those wins came last month by 8 points. Give me the Nets and the points.
