Game Prediction
These two teams have struggled for the majority of the season and hovered around the cusp of the play-in most of the year. However, the Bulls are still fighting for seeding in the play-in tournament while the Nets aren’t. Therefore, I believe Chicago will come into this game looking to take care of business early to secure the 9th seed. I also believe that the Nets won’t mind if they lose this game because they aren’t playing for anything at this point in the season.
Despite being on a 2-game winning streak, it was a struggle for Brooklyn to seal the deal against two of the weakest teams in the East. On the other hand, the Bulls are coming off an impressive win against a tough Indiana Pacers squad. Overall, Chicago has more offensive firepower on their side and I believe they will be able to cover the spread on the road.
Final Pick
Chicago Bulls -5.5 (-110)
