Chicago at Charlotte

The Charlotte Bobcats are no doubt an improved team from the horrible teams they put on the floor the past two seasons. One of the biggest reason has been the play of former University of Connecticut standout Kemba Walker. Walker is averaging a team leading 18.7 points per game, pulls down 4.2 rebounds, and dishes out 5 assists per contest, as well as 1.5 steals. But, he is sidelined with an ankle sprain and will miss tonight's game, opening the door for the Bulls. Chicago has had to go without Derrick Rose again, and they are finally learning how to play without him as a 9-3 run has lifted them to the .500 mark. They have also been 10-3 ATS in their last 13 vs. a team below .500. The Bobcats are just 15-36 ATS in their last 51 on no days rest, and missing their best player won't make it any easier. Play on Chicago.
