Bulls at Kings picks and predictionsPrediction
Bulls 119, Kings 115
After their 11-game skid, the Bulls have been playing better. They knocked off the Suns on the road, blew out Milwaukee and were able to hang with Oklahoma City (covering as 9.5-point underdogs).
The Kings’ only 2 wins in their last 22 games have been over two struggling teams — Dallas and Memphis.
At this point, don’t expect the Kings to win. But you will get better odds with the spread betting either team rather than betting the Bulls ML.
PASS.
Now, the Bulls are an awful 1-9 ATS as road favorites, per Teamrankings.com. But Sacramento isn’t a good bet to cover either, at 10-16 ATS as home underdogs.
But the Bulls have covered the spread in their last 7 outright wins. The Kings’ last 13 losses have been by at least 3 points.
BET BULLS -2.5 (-105).
Their first meeting had a total of 239.
The Bulls’ last 9 games have not reached 237 total points. Three of the Kings’ last 5 have not, either.
The Under has cashed in 7 of the Bulls’ last 8 games.
BET UNDER 236.5 (-115).
