PASS.
While the Bulls (-325) have had their share of struggles, they should come out on top in this one. They are too expensive to consider on the moneyline, though.
BET NETS +8.5 (-115).
The Bulls started off the season hot, but have been beset by injuries. They have remained a favorite, but haven’t played like one. Chicago has gone 0-6 ATS in its last 6 games as a favorite, with 2 of those coming at home.
The Nets have found some backbone on the defense end, allowing 116 or fewer in 8 of their last 9 games. They should defend well enough to keep this game close, having gone 5-4 ATS across their last 9 contests.
Back NETS +8.5 (-115).
BET UNDER 230.5 (-105).
The Nets have gone Under in 7 straight games and have struggled to find any consistency on the offensive end. They have scored 116 or fewer in each of those contests and have tallied 103 or fewer in 4 of them.
For Chicago, without White and many key weapons, it has gone Under in 4 of its last 7 games. The Bulls have scored 116 or fewer in 3 of their last 6 performances. Take UNDER 230.5 (-105).
