Chicago (-118)
In the last two games, New Orleans has attempted 38.5 threes per game. Shooting 45.5% from deep might not stand out as entirely absurd, but realize the Pelicans were shooting just 33.6% from deep on 34.6 shots before these two games. None of that should be expected to continue, even though the Bulls have given up looks from deep more often than 27 other teams across the last month. Of those 40.7 threes attempted per night by Bulls’ foes, only 33.8% of them have gone in, No. 6 in the NBA. Logic expects the Pelicans to revert to their usual problematic shooting. And those misses will burgeon Chicago’s tempo as the No. 3 fastest team in the NBA in the last month.
Chicago -2.5 (-110)
The Pelicans are riding the struggle bus. They are a 3-16 road team and 6-13-0 ATS. Brandon Ingram could miss his fourth consecutive game, and who knows what the deal with Zion Williamson is. The Bulls have won three of their last four with an improving defense and Lorenzo Ball on the floor. Chicago lost by a dozen in their October meeting, but these are different teams, and I’m grabbing the -3.5 (-110) before it disappears.
