Devin Booker is averaging 25 points and 4.3 assists while Chris Paul is averaging 16.7 points and 4.6 rebounds.

The Chicago Bulls look for a win after winning five of their last six games. The Chicago Bulls are averaging 115.3 points on 48.6 percent shooting and allowing 115.1 points on 47.1 percent shooting.

The Suns are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games and 28-11 ATS in their last 39 games overall. The Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The over is 5-0 in Suns last 5 overall. The over is 4-1 in Bulls last 5 home games.
The Phoenix Suns remain one of the hotter teams in the league both straight up and against the spread and aren’t a team I’m thrilled about stepping in front of. However, the Chicago Bulls continue to be disrespected by oddsmakers and all they do is compete and cover numbers, as they’re now 19-12 against the spread. The Bulls are also playing their best ball of the season, winning their last five games by an average of 6.2 points while shooting 52.5 percent from the field. I’ll take my chances with the Bulls and the free points.
