I spent quite a lot of time looking at the Chicago @ Charlotte game, and may have over-thought this, but I think Chicago will cover the 7 points. This is a revenge game for Chicago in that they lost the first two matchups of the season, and a win will make it 2 - 2. I think Chicago is playing much better ball right now, particularly on defense.
Charlotte has lost some important pieces.
G Wallace was traded to Portland, and he was an important factor in Charlotte's two wins vs Chicago.
T Thomas is out with a knee injury, and he was important in Charlotte's first win over the Bulls. (He dnp in the Feb 15th game, which was a loss for Charlotte.)
N Mohammed was traded to OKC. He was not a big factor in the previous matchups, but he is a presence in the paint that CHA no longer has.
And... J Noah did not play in any of the previous matchups. He should play tonight. That adds up to the Bulls controlling the paint and IMO getting a win and cover.
Fascinated with the Orlando game, as this is a revenge game for Orlando. D Howard will be rested and should have a big night. Not sure I like Orlando to cover the spread, however.
I think Orlando would make a good teaser with either Chicago or San Antonio.
Good luck, whatever you decide to do.
