Chicago at Charlotte

Charlotte continues to be a bad NBA team at 3-6 at home, and #26 in points scored and #20 in points allowed. The Hornets are 1-6-2 ATS in their last nine games overall, plus 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Chicago has a great defense and a much improved offense (#12 in points scored). They are 4-1 ATS against the East and won't be in a good mood, coming off a tough loss last night to Dallas. The Bulls are 17-7 ATS when allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. And when these teams meet the road team is 9-2 ATS, plus the Bulls are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings in Charlotte. Take Chicago.
