Bulls at Nets: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Nets 111, Bulls 97
Money line (ML)
The Nets (-700) can’t clinch the No. 1 seed in the East, but they still have to win to hold the Milwaukee Bucks for the No. 2 seed. The Bulls (+500) are eliminated from the postseason, and they’ll likely be very disinterested in this one. Still, you can’t risk seven times your potential return.
AVOID.
