Bulls vs Suns Prediction
I’m not excited to back the Bulls, who are 11 games below a .500 record and have lost 19 games at home. However, the Suns are the most underachieving team in the NBA, and their 19-35-1 ATS record is the worst in the league. The Suns just played the Spurs without Wembanyama and allowed 120 points in a loss. The Suns don’t play a lick of defense and are looking more and more like a team that doesn’t want to play together. That’s not the sort of team you back on the road in your favorite role. This is also a weird early start time against a subpar opponent. We could easily see a disinterested Suns squad yet again. Give me the Bulls and the points.
