However, -185 on the road for this team in transition isn’t the way to go. Instead, let’s go with COLLIN SEXTON OVER 14.5 POINTS (-120). He had 17 in 28 minutes off the bench in his first game with his new team over the weekend. With Giddey doubtful, I look for another concerted effort from him.<\/p>\n Take BULLS -4.5 (-105). It’s simple with them, when they win, they cover. When they lose, they do not, as they’re 3-7 straight up and ATS over the last 10. They made a slew of trades before the deadline, and those recent acquisition made noise Saturday.<\/p>\n Brooklyn is 6-4 O\/U in its last 10, and Chicago is 5-5. The Under is 2-1 in this matchup this season, but this total is way lower than any of those.<\/p>\n Go OVER 218.5 (-110).<\/p>\n For more sports betting picks and tips, check out SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow @rdodsonsports on\u00a0Twitter\/X<\/a>.
