Chicago at Brooklyn

Most of the time teams get to game 81 and have little to play for, but that is not the case here as both teams can enhance their playoff standing with a win. And in the case of Brooklyn, a loss could keep them out of the playoffs. Brooklyn faced a similar situation in their last game at Milwaukee and were blown out by 23, with no player scoring more than 12 points. The Nets shot just 32.5% and seem to be feeling the pressure. Chicago is strong on the defensive end, so it won't get any easier for Brooklyn tonight. The Bulls have followed a poor defensive game by going 4-0 ATS in their last four after allowing 100+ in their last game, and own an 8-3 ATS mark in their last 11 in Brooklyn. Make the play on Chicago.
