Portland at Chicago

Chicago has won five of eight after defeating Charlotte 114-98 on Thursday while shooting 52 percent and Ayo Dosunmu led six double-figure scorers with 22 points. Portland is in a difficult scheduling spot having played last night and the Trail Blazers had to come from 20 points behind to beat Washington 124-116 and this will be their third road game in four nights. Portland has covered the number just twice its past 10 road contests and Chicago is 7-2-1 ATS its past 10 home games. Also, the Bulls have covered 10 of 14 playing with one day of rest and they are 10-3-1 ATS overall following a win. Portland has struggled with slow starts this season and that is likely again playing a back-to-back. Take the Bulls.
