The Line: Betting Odds: Chicago Bulls -2.5 — Over/Under: 230
The Brooklyn Nets invade the United Center to do battle with the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night. Here’s a Brooklyn Nets vs Chicago Bulls Prediction. This article will include a Brooklyn Nets vs Chicago Bulls Pick.
Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview
The Brooklyn Nets have been in a major slump as they’ve lost eight of their last nine games overall. They will be eager to bounce back in this one after coming up just short to the surging Cavaliers in a 109-104 road defeat on Tuesday. Cam Thomas led the team with 27 points on 10 of 22 shooting, Cameron Johnson added 17 points with five assists while Ziaire Williams chipped in with 14 points, six rebounds, and three assists. As a team, the Nets shot 46 percent from the field and 16 of 44 from the 3-point line as they dominated the first half to lead by as many as 18 points. Only to go cold and score just 18 points in the fourth quarter to allow the Cavaliers to run them down with time to spare.Â
Chicago Bulls Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls are starting to heat up now as they’ve won five of their last eight games. They will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after making light work of the Pacers in a 121-103 home win on Monday. Coby White led the team with 29 points, seven rebounds, and four assists, Josh Giddey tallied 29 points with 10 rebounds and four assists while Kevin Huerter chipped in with 13 points off the bench. As a team, the Bulls shot 50 percent from the field and 12 of 33 from the 3-point line as they did all their damage early, exploding for 40 points in the second quarter to take a 24-point lead. This proved to be more than enough to hold off a late rally from the Pacers. The Bulls will take on the Rockets, Jazz, Suns, Kings, and Lakers after this game.
Why the Chicago Bulls will win

Brooklyn Nets vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
The Nets could be slightly shorthanded for this one, with Noah Clowney listed as questionable, while the Bulls have ruled out Lonzo Ball and Josh Giddey for this one. The Bulls open as favorites in this matchup, but they were already banged up, so the injury to Josh Giddey really opens the door for the struggling Nets to steal a game here. This is a tough one to pick, but while the Bulls deserve credit for their recent trio of wins, I think the Nets looked great in their narrow loss to the Cavaliers in their last outing. I expect them to go one better in this matchup.
