Nets at Bulls picks and predictions
Prediction
Nets 126, Bulls 116
Moneyline
Go ahead and PASS on the moneyline in this game despite the Nets being favored on the road. The risk of taking Brooklyn to win on the road at the current odds isn’t worth the return.
Against the spread
NETS -5.5 (-105) is where I’m leaning given how well Brooklyn has been playing. Amid the team’s 12-game winning streak, the Nets have won 7 of those games by 6-plus points.
The Nets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a win of 10-plus points. Also, the Nets are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road meetings against the Bulls.
Over/Under
All the trends point toward the Under being the ideal choice in this game, but I’ll take OVER 236.5 (-105) mainly due to the scoring potential of the Nets. Both of these teams are top 12 in true-shooting percentage this season.
The Bulls have gone Over in each of their last 4 games playing on 1 day of rest and they’ve gone Over in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
