The Chicago Bulls have pulled off a feat rarely seen in sports. They were a 3-20 team just six games ago, and have won and covered six straight - all as an underdog. They will not continue at that pace and the streak is now working against them, as they have gone from a dog in six straight games to a favorite of -5. Chicago has been favored just two times all season by 1.5 and 2.5 points. Orlando is not pretty, as the Magic comes in at 11-20 on the season. The Magic is in the midst of a five-game losing streak but knocked on the door in their last one to get the cover. A team on a five game or more winning streak that is facing a team on a five game or longer losing streak, covers just 46% of the time. Play the points on Orlando.
