Houston Rockets vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
I said earlier this week that the Houston Rockets are a team to keep an eye on and here they are with wins in 8 of their last 10 games and covers in 7 of those games. The Rockets are a young, talented team that’s slowly starting to figure things out. The Bulls continue to struggle defensively, and it’s resulted in losses in 6 of their last 8 games. I’d need more points to truly consider the Bulls. The Rockets feel like a team heading in the right direction and can be trusted against subpar to bad teams, especially. I’ll lay the points with the Rockets.
