Chicago Bulls vs Phoenix Suns Prediction

This is a big number for a Suns team that’s still banged up, but the Bulls continue to lose and not cover numbers. The Bulls also haven’t beaten the Suns since March 2019. That’s 11 straight losses. Us was in theaters the last time the Bulls beat the Suns. Also, the Suns are 36-22-3 ATS on the season. Only the Hornets have a better cover percentage in the NBA this season. I have to lay the number with the Suns at home.
