Grizzlies at Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 126, Bulls 118

Moneyline

PASS.

This is a tight matchup against evenly-matched squads, but I think it comes down to fresh legs. I’ve got Memphis (-210) winning and covering, which is why I’ll take my bet to the spread.

Against the spread

BET MEMPHIS -5.5 (-110).

The Bulls delivered a strong performance Friday night against Atlanta, led by LaVine, who’s shooting an impressive 51.2% from the field and 43.2% from deep this season.

However, Memphis holds opponents under 45% shooting and enters Saturday’s game in Chicago rested after last playing Wednesday. The Grizzlies have covered 7 of their last 8 games, while Chicago has covered just 2 of its last 5.

With the Bulls allowing 122.9 points per game (2nd-most in NBA) and 48.7% shooting (2nd-highest), Memphis should take this one and limit LaVine’s impact.

Over/Under

BET OVER 241.5 (-110).

The Bulls have shifted gears this season, leading the NBA in pace after ranking 28th last year. While coach Billy Donovan’s faster approach has boosted offensive production, it hasn’t translated into consistent wins.

Memphis, ranked 10th in offensive rating, has gone Over in 4 of its last 5 games, while the Bulls have done so in 4 of 6. Expect a fast-paced matchup with plenty of scoring as both teams push the tempo.

Hawks at Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 122, Hawks 117

Moneyline

BET BULLS (+105).

The Bulls beat the Hawks 125-113 on the road on Nov. 9 in the first matchup between the two sides this season. Chicago, with a strong backcourt and size in the paint, matches up well with Atlanta. It held Young to just 6-of-16 shooting in the first game.

The Hawks are just 3-5 on the road and are coming off a 23-point loss. They are also 0-2 straight up as a road favorite of more than 1 point. Considering those trends, back BULLS (+105).

Against the spread

PASS.

The spread is playable as well, but the preferred wager is on the moneyline given the better odds.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 244.5 (-110).

Neither team defends at a high pace, but even for these teams, this is a high total. The Hawks have gone Under in three straight games and have scored 110 or fewer in all three.

Chicago is 0-2 O/U in its last two and 3-4 O/U in its last seven. It has scored 107 or fewer in two of its last three games. With that in mind, back UNDER 244.5 (-110).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Chicago Bulls (6-9) and Milwaukee Bucks (5-9) meet Wednesday in a Central Division matchup. Tip-off from Fiserv Forum is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Bulls vs. Bucks odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Chicago leads 1-0

Chicago beat the Detroit Pistons 122-112 Monday while covering as a 4-point road underdog. The Bulls shot 48.4% from the field and an amazing 50% from deep. Chicago also had 3 starters score 25 or more points (G Zach LaVine, C Nikola Vucevic and G Coby White).

Milwaukee escaped with a 101-100 win over the visiting Houston Rockets Monday, failing to cover as a 3.5-point favorite. C Brook Lopez was the star of the show for the Bucks, as he had 27 points, 10 boards and 4 blocks on 11-of-15 shooting. The Bucks held the Rockets to just 28.1% (9-of-32) from deep.

Bulls at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 123, Bulls 117

Moneyline

PASS.

The Bucks (-350) should win, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites, especially not with their play this year. Pass here, and bet the spread and/or O/U instead.

Against the spread

BET BULLS +8.5 (-110).

Chicago is 4-2 ATS in its last 6 games overall and 3-1 ATS in its last 4 on the road. The Bulls have also covered the spread in 4 of the last 5 meetings.

The Bucks have underperformed this year, so even though they are the much more talented team, I expect the Bulls to make this a close game.

Over/Under

BET OVER 239.5 (-105).

The Over has hit in 3 of Chicago’s last 4 overall and is 2-1 in its last 3 on the road. The Over is also 9-6 on the season for the Bulls.

For Milwaukee, the Over is 2-1 in its last 3 games. The Over has also hit in 3 of the last 4 meetings.

Detroit is 4-0-1 ATS in its last 5 games, including 2-0 ATS in its last 2 as a favorite. Led by Cunningham — who is averaging 23.1 points, 7.3 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game — the Pistons are becoming a difficult team to beat.

Prediction

Rockets 119, Bulls 113

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no great value on the moneyline here.

The Bulls as home underdogs are playable, but they are just 1-4 this season at the United Center. Avoid a moneyline wager, as Houston is too expensive of a favorite.

Against the spread

BET ROCKETS -4.5 (-110).

The Rockets have won 4 straight, 3 of which have come by a margin greater than this. They have just 1 win on the season within this spread, as well, and are 5-2 ATS in their last 7. Houston’s defense is among the best in the NBA and has allowed 104 or fewer in 4 straight games.

The Bulls are 3-5 ATS in their last 8 and are 1-2 ATS in their last 3 at home. They have not lost by a margin of 5 or fewer. Considering those trends, back ROCKETS -4.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 233.5 (-105).

The Bulls are 3-3 O/U in their last 6. They have gone Under in 3 of their 5 home games. Chicago will be facing a stout Houston defense as well.

The Rockets have gone Under in 3 of their last 4 games and are 5-8 O/U on the season. They are 1-4 O/U on the road this season. Houston has scored 107 or fewer in 3 of its last 5 as well.

Chicago Bulls at Cleveland Cavaliers odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Chicago Bulls (5-7) and Cleveland Cavaliers (13-0) meet Friday at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse for an In-Season Tournament Game. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Bulls vs. Cavaliers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Cavaliers 1-0

The Cavaliers posted a 119-113 win over the Bulls on Monday at United Center, although Chicago came away with the cover as 8-point underdogs at most shops. The Under (236.5) also came in, and the total has now gone low in 5 of the past 6 in this series since Feb. 11, 2023.

Cleveland is just the 6th team in NBA history to begin the season 13-0. The last team to accomplish the feat was the Golden State Warriors in the 2015-16 season.

While the Cavs are unbeaten, they’ve failed to cover the past 3 outings. The Over is 4-2 in the previous 6 games, although 1 of those Under results came against the Bulls.

Chicago picked up a 124-123 win at New York as an 8.5-point underdog last time out on Wednesday as the Over (232) connected. Chicago has covered 3 in a row despite the fact it has allowed 119 or more points in 6 of the past 7 outings.

Bulls at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 116, Bulls 109

Moneyline

The Cavaliers (-600) will set you back 6 times your potential return, and that’s quite a bit of risk for not nearly enough reward.

You can’t play heavy favorites like that and expected to win long term, even as part of a multi-leg parlay.

AVOID.

Against the spread

Back CHICAGO +10.5 (-105) catching double digits on the road.

Cleveland -10.5 (-115) has won all 13 games, but it has failed to cover each of the past 3, including the most recent victory over Chicago Monday. It also failed to cover as a double-digit favorite last time out in Philadelphia.

The Bulls have covered 3 in a row, including 2 straight as an underdog of 8 or more points.

Over/Under

UNDER 237.5 (-110) is a strong play in this Cup game.

The Under has hit in 2 of the past 3 games for the Bulls, including the last meeting with the Cavs. With Ball sidelined, that’s a big chunk of offense missing for Chicago. Cleveland has also cashed 2 of the past 3 games.

Bulls at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 115, Bulls 107

Moneyline

The Mavs are the play, but not here.

Instead, this hit for us in the Pacers game, and I’m sticking with it. Take KYRIE IRVING OVER 2.5 THREE-POINTERS (-105). He has 3+ 3s in 4 of 5 games.

BetMGM has placed a 20% odds boost token in most accounts that brings this to +114.

Against the spread

I’m feeling the BULLS +9.5 (-105) here. They’ve lost 2 straight, but they’re pesky enough to keep it within 9 points. Last year, they suffered a 9-point loss in Dallas. Play it lightly, but that’s where I’d lean.

Over/Under

The Bulls are 5-2 O/U thus far, and the Mavs are 3-4. Both meetings last season went Under, and those totals were 232.5 and 220. Dallas is quietly 10th in defensive rating, and the Bulls are tied for 15th, which should improve.

Take the UNDER 236.5 (-110).
