Bulls at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Bulls 111, Clippers 105
Moneyline
The BULLS (+155) are a strong value, as Chicago is playing much better basketball lately. The Clippers (-180) are too expensive, especially since it has dropped 3 of the last 5 games overall, including all 3 times as a favorite.
Against the spread
The BULLS +3.5 (-105) are a solid play if you can’t bring yourself to playing the visitors outright.
However, the Clippers -3.5 (-115) are just not a good play, as L.A. has been erratic, scoring 108 or fewer points in 4 of the last 8 games.
Over/Under
Play the UNDER 220.5 (-108), and that might be the best play on the board.
The Under is 30-12 in the last 42 games at home for the Clips, while going 20-9 in the last 29 games overall for the Bulls. The Under is also 11-5 in the Bulls’ last 16 road games, while cashing in 4 of the last 5 games when playing on no rest, too.
