Wizards at Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Wizards 115, Bulls 110

Moneyline

While both teams are playing sub-.500 ball and both offfenses are less than desirable, Washington’s defense has some bright spots.

The Wizards hold their opponents to 46.5% from the floor, 5th best in the league. They also limit offenses to 11.7 threes made per game which is 9th best.

LEAN WIZARDS (+145).

Against the spread

More recently the Wizards have shown that they are successful betting-wise against the lower half of the NBA. Washington has covered in 7 of their last 8 games against teams below .500%.

Although the Bulls are coming off a statement win, they have not covered in their last 4 games on 1 day of rest.

If you aren’t comfortable betting the visitors outright or want to do a split-bet between the moneyline and the spread, you can BET WIZARDS +4.5 (-115).

Over/Under

While the Bulls struggle to cover on 1 day of rest, the Wizards have problems scoring on a short turnaround. Washington has only hit the Over once in their last 8 tries on a single day of rest.

LEAN UNDER 225.5 (-105).

Analyzing Thursday’s Chicago Bulls at Brooklyn Nets odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Chicago Bulls (26-28) and Brooklyn Nets (32-22) meet Thursday at Barclays Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Bulls vs. Nets odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Bulls failed to cover the spread as 9.5-point underdogs Tuesday in a 104-89 loss at the Memphis Grizzlies.

Bulls at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 115, Bulls 106

Moneyline

PASS.

The Nets (-115) should win, but there is no need to pay the extra juice on the moneyline when Brooklyn would likely cover its short spread with a win. Lay the points and/or bet the total instead.

Against the spread

BET NETS -1.5 (-102).

Brooklyn has played above expectation in its last 5 home games and will be extra motivated to win Thursday after dropping 3 of its last 4 games. The Nets should have no distractions now that all the drama surrounding the trade deadline has come to an end. Chicago is 11-16 ATS this season after a loss and should struggle to beat the Nets 3 times in 1 season.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 226.5 (-108).

The Under is 4-0 in Chicago’s last 4 games after allowing 100 or more points in its previous contest and 6-1 in the Bulls’ last 7 vs. teams with a winning record. The Under has hit in Brooklyn’s last 5 games vs. teams with a losing record and is 8-1 in the last 9 meetings between these teams.

Chicago Bulls at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Chicago Bulls at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Chicago Bulls (26-27) kick off a 3-game road trip on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies (32-21). Tip-off from FedEx Forum in Memphis is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Bulls vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Bulls have won and covered 3 games in a row. They beat the San Antonio Spurs 128-104 at home on Monday as 9.5-point favorites. The road has been a different story for Chicago, however, as it has won just once in the last 5 games away from home.

The 1st-place Grizzlies have dropped 3 in a row, and Memphis has failed to cover 3 in a row, while going just 2-8 ATS in the last 10 games overall. The Grizzlies lost 106-103 at home Sunday as 1.5-point favorite against the Toronto Raptors.

This is the 1st of 2 scheduled regular-season meetings, with the teams to meet each other against April 2 in Chicago.

Bulls key injuries

Grizzlies

G Dillon Brooks (suspension) out
G Ja Morant (wrist) questionable

For most recent updates: Official NBA injury report.

Bulls at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 114, Grizzlies 110

Moneyline

The BULLS (+255) are a value play for a chance to more than double up.

The Grizzlies (-310) will cost you nearly 3 times your potential return, and that’s risky business with Morant potentially sidelined, and Brooks on the shelf serving the final game of a suspension.

Against the spread

BULLS +7.5 (-105) is the play, with or without Morant in the lineup for the Grizzlies -7.5 (-115).

Chicago has covered in 4 of the last 5 games overall, while going 5-1-1 ATS in the last 7 when playing on no rest. It is also 5-1 ATS in the last 6 against teams with a winning overall record.

Over/Under

UNDER 233.5 (-115) is the lean, and it’s worth playing at a half-unit. If Morant is officially ruled out before tip-off, go a little heavier on the Under.

The Under has ruled the day for Chicago lately, going 7-2 in the last 9 games overall, while cashing in 5 of the last 6 on the road. The Under is 10-4 in the last 14 games in the second end of a back-to-back situation, too.

The Under has been a frequent happening for the Grizz lately, too, going 8-1 in the last 9 games overall, and 3-1-1 in the last 5 against teams with a losing overall mark.

Spurs at Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 125, Spurs 106

Moneyline

PASS.

The Bulls (-450) should win, but there is no need to risk almost 5 times your potential profit on the moneyline when Chicago should win by margin. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET BULLS -9.5 (-115).

F DeMar DeRozan will be extra motivated to help the Bulls run up the score vs. his former team after losing straight up as a road favorite in the 1st meeting.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 239.5 (-112).

The Under is 4-0 in Chicago’s last 4 games after scoring more than 125 points in its previous contest and 6-1 in the Bulls’ last 7 after allowing 100 or more. The Under has hit in 6 of the last 8 meetings in Chicago, and San Antonio should struggle to put up points as it deals with injuries to almost all of its starters.

Charlotte Hornets at Chicago Bulls odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Charlotte Hornets at Chicago Bulls odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Charlotte Hornets (15-37) meet the Chicago Bulls (23-27) Thursday. Tip-off from United Center is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Hornets vs. Bulls odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Hornets have won 2 of their last 3 games to show some signs of life and have covered the spread in each of the previous 3 outings. That includes a 111-96 rout of the Bulls in Buzz City last Thursday as the Under cashed.

The Bulls have managed just 1 win in the past 4 outings, including that loss in Charlotte, and Chicago is 1-3 against the spread in the stretch, too. The Under has cashed in 5 of the past 6 games overall.

Hornets at Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 119, Hornets 111

Moneyline

The Bulls (-260) will cost you more than 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s just too expensive, especially since the Hornets handled Chicago in the most recent meeting just one week ago.

Even as an option to toss into a multi-team parlay, Chicago is just too expensive. Stay away.

PASS.

Against the spread

CHICAGO -6.5 (-112) is worth playing lightly, as it looks for the bounce-back against the Hornets. The Bulls have managed a 6-2-1 ATS mark in the past 9 games and are also 9-4 ATS in the past 13 games when working on a single day of rest.

The Hornets have cashed in 5 of the past 7 games overall, Charlotte is just 3-7 ATS in the past 10 trips to Chicago and 2-6 ATS in the previous 8 in the series.

Over/Under

UNDER 236.5 (-110) is the play in the Windy City.

The Under is 5-0 in the past 5 games against losing teams for the Hornets and has cashed in 5 of the past 6 games overall for the Bulls. The Under is 5-0 in the past 5 for the Bulls against losing teams, too.

The Under is 5-2 in the past 7 meetings in this series, too, and 5-2 in the past 7 battles in Chitown.

Los Angeles Clippers at Chicago Bulls odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Los Angeles Clippers at Chicago Bulls odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Clippers (28-25) play for the 3rd time in 4 nights as they continue a 6-game road trip Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls (23-26). Tip-off at United Center is at 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Clippers vs. Bulls odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Clippers are 1-1 so far on their road trip after Sunday’s 122-99 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers as 11-point underdogs. The loss snapped a 5-game winning streak overall and 4-game road winning streak.

The Bulls are kicking off a 4-game homestand. They wrapped up their last road trip on Saturday with a 128-109 win over the Orlando Magic as 2.5-point favorites.

This is the 1st matchup between the 2 teams this season.

Clippers at Bulls and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 122, Bulls 117

Moneyline

The Clippers had won 5 games in a row overall and 4 straight on the road before their loss to the Cavs on Sunday. In the 5 previous games, they averaged 126.8 points per game.

LA is 14-14 on the road this season, while the Bulls are 13-10 at home. The Clippers have, though, won 4 of their last 5 games at the United Center.

With the Clippers having both G Kawhi Leonard and F Paul George in the lineup, I expect a Clippers win, but the spread gives you a better value here.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Clippers have not had a win by fewer than 3 points since they beat the Cavaliers 119-117 on Nov. 7. The Bulls’ last 6 losses have all been by at least 3 points.

BET CLIPPERS -3.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Over is 4-0 in the Clippers’ last 4 games overall. They were averaging 126.8 points per game in their winning streak. The Bulls have scored 110 or more in 6 of their last 7 games.

BET OVER 230.5 (-105).
