The Bulls are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Saturday games. The Spurs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Saturday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games. The under is 7-1 in Bulls last 8 overall. The under is 4-1 in Spurs last 5 home games. The over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in San Antonio.
Neither of these teams are playing well at the moment, but it’s the Spurs who are in worse shape, losing their last five games by an average of 10 points. The Chicago Bulls have played some of their best ball this season on the road where they win by an average of 3.3 points and are 14-4 against the spread this season. I’m not sure the Spurs have a second half run in them to turn things around. Give me the Bulls and the free bucket.
