New Orleans made a lot of offseason changes, and the results looked awful in the opener, a 117-97 loss at home to the 76ers. Star player Zion Williamson is still out, recovering from surgery on his foot. They start a three-game road trip here and face a Chicago team that had a strong offseason, adding DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball, and Alex Caruso to help All-Star Zach LaVine. The Bulls won their opener, 94-88, at Detroit and play their home opener here. The Bulls are 24-10 ATS against losing teams, so back home court. Play Chicago.
