The Bulls are hot but the Nets are hotter. New Jersey is 4-0 against the spread versus Chicago at home over the last 3 seasons.

Road teams revenging a loss where team scored less than 85 points facing an opponent off 3 or more consecutive road wins are just 6-23 (21%) ATS since 1996. New Jersey is 10-3 ATSafter playing 4 consecutive road games over the last 3 seasons and the Nets are 8-2 ATS in close games this season (+3 to -3). Three stars on the Nets to win this one, and humble the young, confident Bulls squad.

Chicago is 26-10 OVER in a road game where the total is between 180 and 189.5 points and 6-1 OVER in road games when the line is +3 to -3 over the last 3 seasons. Two stars on the OVER here as well.
