Bulls at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Clippers 113, Bulls 110
Moneyline
PASS.
The Clippers (-420) are 7-3 in their last 10 matchups vs. the Bulls and 21-8 at home this season, so LA should pick up the win here. However, the Clippers are not worth the risk of betting on as -420 favorites. Bet on the spread and/or O/U instead.
Against the spread
BET BULLS +9 (-106).
Chicago has covered the spread in 2 of its last 3, all on the road, and is 6-4 ATS in its last 10 overall. The Bulls are 33-29-1 ATS this season and 3-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings between these teams at Crypto.com Arena.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 221.5 (-110).
The Over has hit in back-to-back games for the Bulls and is 33-29-1 on the season for Chicago.
The Over also hit last time out for the Clippers at Houston and in their most recent home game, a 140-115 victory over the Washington Wizards March 1.
Two of the last 3 meetings between these teams have seen the Over hit, and it has gone 6-2 over the last 8.
This is only a lean because the O/U trends have been very even for both teams this season and in recent meetings.
