Bulls vs Nets Prediction

The current betting odds have the Nets listed as a 2 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Nets have not been off to a good start this season and they are playing on a B2B here but they need to start winning some games as they have not looked good out on the floor together. The Bulls started their season with a big win over the Heat but they have also been struggling in a few of their games lately too. The Nets are bound to get it together though as they do have some really good players on their team they are just playing together for the 1st time in their games this season. They will get better and better as they play more games together and the Bulls really haven't been that great in their road games. The Nets will play better in this home game and they should come out with the win here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Nets to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes

 
“But I can't sit there and say it's one player. It's that group. It's a group of five players. It's something we probably got to take a look at and evaluate and see. You'd like to get a larger sample size.” - Billy Donovan after his team’s loss against the 76ers on Saturday.
 
 
“We’re in constant communication all the time, if it’s a scheduled meeting or not. I think we all talk about what we need to do as a team every day. So, regardless if it’s after a loss or it’s looked at as a meeting, but we (are) always in constant dialogue about what we need to do as a group.” - Kevin Durant after their loss against the Pacers on Saturday.
