Bulls at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Magic 111, Bulls 107

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Magic (-300), who have won 3 of their last 4 games, to beat a Chicago squad that is dealing with injuries and is 3-5 in its last 8.

Against the spread

BET BULLS +7.5 (-115).

Chicago has covered the spread in 2 of its last 3 games at home, including each of its last 2 as an underdog.

Orlando has failed to covered in 2 of its last 3 games and 5 of its last 7. It is coming off a tough loss against a Charlotte team that has performed poorly this season (19-58 straight up).

Over/Under

BET OVER 210.5 (-110).

Chicago has scored 108 or more points in 3 of its last 4 games and 8 of its last 10. It has allowed 107 or more points in 6 of its last 9.

Orlando has hit the Over in each of its last 2 games and scored 115 or more points in 3 of its last 4. It has scored 107 or more points in 7 of its last 10 and allowed 108 or more in back-to-back games.

Bulls at Magic odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 108, Magic 101

Money line

PASS on the money line. While Orlando’s home struggles are too much to overcome, betting on the Bulls’ spread is the better value in this instance.

Against the spread

BET to the BULLS -3.5 (-108).

Chicago is still going to put two potential All-Star-caliber player on the court in F DeMar DeRozan and C Nikola Vucevic. DeRozan is in the MVP conversation as well.

Despite being short-handed, they’re still the better side. The Bulls rank seventh in offensive rating, and while their defense has slipped outside the top-10, it shouldn’t be too concerning as Orlando ranks 28th in offensive rating.

The Bulls also rank in the top-10 in turnover rate and top-five in true shooting percentage. They’ve been the far better side, and with the Magic having just two home wins, I’d rather side with the more proven, talented team.

Over/Under

“LEAN” on the UNDER 215.5 (-110).

The Bulls are down key scorers, and while I expect them to win, the players that are sidelined and the ones that brought the pace. Caruso and LaVine were terrific in transition with DeRozan and Vucevic more the premier halfcourt scorers.

As for the Magic, they rank 16th in pace and third-to-last in shooting. They’re 5-5 O/U the past 10 games.

Bulls at Magic odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 108, Magic 101

Money line

PASS on the money line. You get a huge payout to bet the Magic but you can’t bet on them. They are the worst team in the Eastern Conference, are 1-7 at home and their best players may not play.

The risk on the Bulls just isn’t worth the reward. Look at the spread and the total for your best bets.

Against the spread

Only one team has covered the spread more often than the Bulls this season, who are 12-7 ATS overall. They are 6-4 ATS on the road and are 2-3 ATS in their last five games.

The Magic are 8-11 ATS and have covered the spread in four of their last five games. They are 7-4 ATS when they are underdogs by 9.5 points or more.

Take the MAGIC +9.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Bulls’ last game went Over the projected total, but they haven’t had back-to-back Overs this season and are 8-11 O/U. Tonight’s game has the lowest projected total for the Bulls all season.

The Magic are 10-9 O/U this season. They have had 12 previous games with a projected total of 212.5 or fewer points and seven have hit the Over.

Take UNDER 212.5 (-112).

Bulls at Magic: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Magic 118, Bulls 114

Money line (ML)

The MAGIC (-105) are the play as short ‘dogs after topping the Bulls (-115) in the front end of the double dip Friday. Orlando entered Friday’s game on a four-game skid, but they suddenly look attractive after tripping up Chicago in the opener.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The MAGIC +1.5 (-115) won as an underdog on Friday, and the Bulls -1.5 (-105) slipped to 2-6 ATS in the past eight as a favorite, including 1-5 ATS in the past six as a favorite on the road. Neither of these teams have been very consistent lately, so you have to go with what you saw lately, and that’s an Orlando win.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 223.5 (-110) is the play for Saturday’s second end of the twin bill. We had a total of 242 points in Friday’s game, and we should see a slight decrease in scoring with both teams experiencing some tired legs after playing less than 24 hours prior. However, this won’t be confused with a defensive slog. The scoring will pick up in the second half, and we’ll still see the Over cash with about two minutes remaining in regulation.

Bulls at Magic: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Bulls 111, Magic 103

Money line (ML)

The BULLS (-130) aren’t a bad play on the money line, although my preference would be to play the spread for less risk. The Bulls have won just once in the past five outings, but they have won two straight on the road. And the Magic (+105) are just too banged up to rely upon.

Against the spread (ATS)

The BULLS -2.5 (-110) are coming off a disappointing 107-103 loss on their home hardwood against the Knicks. Still, they’re a good play in O-Town, as the Magic +2.5 (-110) are a dismal 0-4 SU/ATS across the past four overall, with three of those games at home. Chicago is 6-1 ATS across the past seven on the road, while going 10-2 ATS in their past 12 playing on a day of rest.

Orlando is 1-5 ATS in the past six at home, and 5-19-2 ATS in the previous 26 as a home ‘dog.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 222.5 (-110) is the best play on the board here. The Under has cashed in four of the past five for Chicago, while hitting in 21 of the past 28 for the Bulls against losing sides. The Under has also hit in seven of the past 10 at home for Orlando. In addition, the Under is 19-7 in the past 26 meetings in Orlando between these two sides, while hitting in 20 of the past 26 overall.
