Mavericks at Bulls picks and predictions
Prediction
Mavericks 124, Bulls 116
Moneyline
PASS.
There is more profit to be made betting the Mavericks (-175) spread.
Against the spread
BET MAVERICKS -3.5 (-115).
Dallas has won and covered in back-to-back games and is 3-1 ATS in its last 4. With Doncic on a red-hot tear and going against a Chicago offense that has been shaky recently, expect Dallas to take advantage.
Chicago is just 1-3 ATS in its last 4 home games.
Over/Under
BET OVER 232.5 (-115).
The Mavericks are coming off a 142-point showing and have scored 119 or more in 5 of their last 9. They have allowed 120 or more in 7 of their last 8 and have hit the Over in 5 of their last 7.
Chicago has hit the Over in 2 of its last 3 and scored 119 or more in each of those games. While its offense has had a wide range of scoring in recent games, expect a quicker pace at home against the Mavs Monday.
