Bulls vs Nets prediction

This game is more important to the Bulls as they’re fighting for seeding in the play-in tournament. The Nets season is all but over in terms of a playoff chase. However, motivation hasn’t stopped the Bulls from losing 6 of their last 10 games and losing to the Wizards as double-digit favorites. The bottom line is both the Nets and Bulls have underachieved this season, and you’re never sure which team is showing up. The Nets have won the last two games against the Bulls. Give me the Nets and the free points if forced to pick this game. I don’t trust the Bulls by margin.
