Chicago at Los Angeles

Chicago will have quite a difficult challenge on their hands tonight when they travel to LA. They are facing a Clippers team who has gone 11-3 ATS at home after a win, has not lost ATS in their last 3 home games and plays great defense when at home (letting up just 92ppg). All of that makes it intimidating for Chicago to simply play on the Clippers floor, let alone face the fact that the Clippers score more points per game then Chicago, get more rebounds per game, shoot a higher percentage from both the floor and free throw line, have fewer turnovers and give up less points per game this season. Those are a lot of categories that need to be turned into Chicago's favor while they are still on the road (now playing their 7th straight game away). Chicago has not done much to impress anyone their past 6 away games as they have won just 1 of those games straight up and only 2 ATS. In their last game the Bulls could not even cover an 11.5 point line while playing the kings. The Bulls are a tired team who is simply counting the days until they can go back home to Chicago. Their mind is focused on their trip home and not the game today in LA. Give the 6.5 points and pick the Clippers to take advantage of the tired Bulls for three stars.
