Memphis at Chicago

The Bulls had a big emotional win at the Garden last night, beating the Celtics in double-overtime by a single point. It will be difficult to play  on no rest, facing a very defensive and tough Memphis team. The Bulls have played back-to-back overtime games, and the shots may have a tough time falling here. The Bulls have slowed things down offensively without Derrick Rose, and remain a good defensive team. These teams engaged in a physical tussle at Memphis where the Bulls managed just 71 points and lost by 9, with the game barely getting to 150 total points, and I expect more of the same here. The Grizzlies have held 20 of their last 31 opponents, overtime not included, in the 80s or less. They are also off an impressive defensive showing their last time out, allowing just 69 points. The Bulls have not been the same at home without Rose, and are just 5-16 ATS in their last 21 here, as they struggle to stay above the .500 mark at just 10-9 here. The Grizzlies have been a momentum team that has led them to a 7-0-1 ATS mark after a win by 10 or more. They have put the brakes on opposing offenses when taking to the road vs. a winning home team at 19-6-1 to the UNDER in their last 26. Take Memphis and play the UNDER in this one.
