Prediction
Mavericks 120, Bulls 112
Moneyline (ML)
Take the MAVERICKS (-209) even though they are heavy favorites. Every $2.09 wagered on the Mavs ML will profit $1 if they win. Excluding a neutral-site victory, Dallas has the third-most road wins at 20-10. Chicago (+170), 12-19 at home, has lost 10 of 11 games and is extremely hampered by injuries. The only hope for Chicago is if it can take advantage of a Dallas squad playing for the second night in a row and the third time in four days. The Bulls are 6-6 with a rest advantage and the Mavs are 6-4 on no rest. A Dallas win seems inevitable.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
Take the MAVERICKS -4.5 (-115). Their win-loss record and their ATS record match up perfectly over the last 13 games at 8-5. The Bulls are 13-18 ATS at home this season, but 5-9 ATS as a home dog.
Over/Under (O/U)
Back the OVER 224.5 (-106). Bulls games have gone Over in three straight games and in 11 of 13. Dallas is 6-4 O/U with no rest and 9-7 O/U as road favorites. They should continue to put up points. making the Over the play here.
