The Chicago Bulls have the rest advantage and are at home, but they’ve come back to reality a little and their offense has struggled in back to back games against the 76ers. The Brooklyn Nets are on the end of a back to back, but they’re starting to find their footing and looking more like the team we expected to see. The Nets are the better team, and we’re getting a free bucket. I’ll take it.
