Bulls at Kings picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 120, Bulls 111
Moneyline
In a Feb. 3 meeting, the Kings (-250) covered as 1-point underdogs with a 123-115 win at Chicago, led by 41 points from Fox.
The Bulls have failed to score 100 points in 2 of their last 3 games. They are 12-17 on the road this season.
The Kings are 16-10 at home but 3-3 in their last 6 at Golden 1 Center. They have a top-10 offense, averaging 118.2 points per game (PPG), and face a Bulls team that is 25th in the league in scoring at 111.7 PPG.
Expect the Kings to have the edge — especially if Fox is able to go — but don’t bet the Kings on the moneyline at -250. You won’t win enough money to make it worth your while.
PASS.
Against the spread
The Kings are only 10-14 ATS as home favorites, but the Bulls aren’t an obvious bet as road dogs at 10-11 ATS. The Kings have, though, covered the spread in 6 of their last 7 wins.
The Bulls have covered the spread only once in their last 8 losses.
BET KINGS -6.5 (-110).
Over/Under
The Feb. 3 meeting finished with 238 total points, blowing past the projection of 228.5.
Three of the last 4 for the Bulls, and 4 of the last 6, have stayed below the projection for this matchup.
However, 4 of the last 5 for the Kings have had totals higher than 227 points.
BET OVER 227.5 (-110).
