Rockets vs Bulls Prediction

The Rockets are going to be favored for obvious reasons, as they’re the better team at home, and it looks like they’ve gotten their act together with five straight wins. However, the Rockets are a young team still trying to deal with expectations, and they’re on the end of a back-to-back. The Bulls are also playing their best ball of the season with four straight wins and all of a sudden have a chance to move up to the ninth seed in the East. With their recent form and the rest advantage, the Bulls and the points are intriguing. I’ll take a chance with the road dog in this spot.
