Portland at Chicago

The Chicago Bulls have found a way to win without Luol Deng, and Derrick Rose. It took awhile but this team has come together. Over their last 22 games, they stand at 16-6, and they are 10-3 in their last 13 at home. Portland simply has not played well down the stretch, as the Blazers are just 4-8 in their last 12 games, and just 15-18 over their last 33. This team is limping towards the finish line. Portland has really struggled against the better teams in the league where they own a woeful 2-10 straight-up mark in their last 12 vs. a team over .500. One of those was vs. a Washington team that was just one game over .500. Chicago has it going, especially at home, and I look for them to come away with the win here. Play Chicago on the moneyline.
