Premium Pick

So will the Bulls fall apart without Derek Rose? No. They didn't last year, either. This team has a rugged frontcourt and a dominating defense, third in the NBA in points allowed and tops in rebounds. Chicago is on a 5-2 ATS run, and the Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last five games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600. Kirk Hinrich, who started earlier this season when Rose missed a game with a hamstring injury, and Mike Dunleavy are the backcourt replacements to join Carlos Boozer, Joakim Noah, and Luol Deng in the new-look starting lineup -- that's a talented lineup. While Chicago allows 40.4 percent shooting, Los Angeles doesn't play any defense, 28th in the NBA allowing 104.9 ppg. They are also overrated and overvalued, on a 1-4 ATS run. The Clippers are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games, and 1-5 ATS after a victory. And when these teams meet, the road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Play the Bulls.
