The Bulls are coming into this game as a 2 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Nets have been on a streak recently while the Bulls have lost their last 2 games, to the same team as well. The Bulls will be at home for this and are waiting to have a bounce back game after their last one. The Nets are playing on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back and have been on the road for 2 games already. They will be tired here so the best bet to place in this game is on the Bulls to cover the spread as they will have a bounce back game here.
