Portland at Chicago

May seem unwise to go against the Blazers and their 14-1 run, but let's take a closer look. Their 13-game winning streak was accomplished with 10 games at home. Don’t forget this team is still a horrific 4-10 on the road. Yes, we had them over the T-Wolves last night, but the T-Wolves can't cover anything less than a double-digit spread against anyone. This is also four games in five nights for Portland. Remember their streak was broken on the road at Utah, who has been playing poorly, but managed to beat the Blazers by 10. Chicago is a different team. Scott Skiles wore out his welcome in Chi-town, and now the Bulls are poised to make a run. This is a team that scored 100+ just six of their 26 games, but suddenly has done so in four straight, winning three and losing in OT to a very good Orlando team. The Bulls have now covered three straight, after covering just seven all season. They are ready to go on a huge roll and Portland is in the wrong spot tonight.
