Bulls have been playing well but are without Ayo, Huerter and Ball today. Not sure about any of their bigs yet but a short handed team once again now on the road after an impressive late comeback and OT win on Friday vs Toronto.

The Pacers should be able to score around 120+ today against the Bulls 

Can Chicago hang around?

Indy is an 11.5 favorite, game total of 240.5

My lean is Indy 134, Chicago 110

Both Jokic and Murray did not come out aggressive.

Westbrook is a bad shooter and teams give him wide open shots. He should be a reserve for energy while Jokic/Murray are resting and try to create energy in a game like today where neither team showed consistent energy 

For Chicago, no Ball tonight (b2b game, not a trade) is out, none of the scrubs they received in the LaVine trade are playing.....short handed roster coming off of a huge 4th quarter comeback with at home against Miami.

Except a shirt rotation with Matus, Coby, Ayo, Vuc and a few others ...

Minnesota is struggling this season, just a few games over .500.  Two straight losses at home including to Washington.

Thoughts?

Minnesota is a 11.5 point favorite, total at 226.5

Arizona is in control of this 2nd half. Close game,vbut Wildcats will pull this off

I like the NBA, but the season is a drag. Obvious issues with the game play....

MLB is primarily about who spends and the playoffs are more of a dice roll. It's hard to be a fan though of most teams if you need massive fortune to even make the playoffs most seasons outside of a few divisions where payroll is more similar (like the AL Central)

Any leans on Lakers / Knicks?

Isn't Anthony Davis out? 

Well...76ers didn't come to play....I was wrong on them too

Bulls are completely hit or miss on 3's, just coming off a 97 point game at home vs Philly.

Denver just gave up 130+ to Minnesota in what their coach says their worst effort of the season.

Will Bulls put up 120+ and Denver 130+ ?

That's what we're looking at with the Nuggets a 9.5 favorite.....

Bulls without Coby White...

Seems about 10-15 points too high but maybe others can chime in on this....

Curry listed as questionable with an illness.

Coby White seen as questionable to doubtful tonight.

Total is at 228.5 current, Warriors -1

Thoughts?

i don't think they go back to Fields this late in the season (and he has been banged up). Pickens just came back - Pittsburgh will give them time to get him going again, but really, yes, offense was bad, but no pressure on Mahomes, constant 3rd down conversions...

Steelers offense is average even when functioning, but their defense has to be very good to win a game like this 

The reasons you would take Chicago is because they have lost 5 straight and that's hard to do. 3 of these games were lost in the last play of the game so they play tight games, just find ways to lose. Could they be due? Possibly.

They also played the Lions extremely tough last season, blowing 2 games late 

Caleb Williams has been great of late. At home vs 2 good teams, but now going on the road.....

On the Bears side, they are typically in games, they did play the Lions very tough last season and Caleb is the real deal.....

But someone correct me, I think Detroit has not been very good at home on Thanksgiving recently, and lost last year to the Packers....it's the NFL...Bears are literally a few snaps away from betting 7-4 or something like that.

Campbell is talking up the Thanksgiving game...maybe nothing, but just expect Detroit to put up 30+ after a quiet game in Indy

@undermysac

 This.....

Bears defense has been awful since the Washington game and it's missing Billings, their best run defender on a thin line to begin with.

Hard to see the Bears rebounding after another tough loss.

Lions 38

Bears 17

@Michigan_D

 Why do confident in the Chargers this evening?

its a tough game to call. Really should be closer to a pick'em.

Bears have lost last two at home after winning 8 straight. 

Minnesota should be tough on the Bears offense today.

Bears defense is tough in the red zone, but haven't generated much pressure and teams are moving up/down the field with mainly FG attempts

Bears offense showed some life last week with the new OC, but is a one week blip or will it show more today? Caleb got the ball out or ran quickly vs holding and then taking a sack...

Bears run defense was better after a bad 1st quarter on Sunday vs GB but hasn't been stout this season. Aaron Jones has hurt them in the past 

Would lean Chicago with the points today...but will Caleb continue avoiding turnovers? 

Minnesota 23

Chicago 21

What we thinking fam?

Dodgers are not hitting tonight 

Getting opportunities with walks

No hits

Yankees are in control 

Yep I think there is value, but the Bulls are capable of a 10-42 night from 3 and they lose 121-98

Bills are going to join the NBA tonight and shoot more 3's. Whether they hit them or not is a different question,  it will be fast paced and I would expect them to rotate guards in and out of the lineup and play little defense l.

New Orleans should put up 120. Can the Bulls keep up?
