The Chicago Bulls have slipped a little over the last week, but they’re still far more consistent and have shown us enough to have a level of confidence. The Dallas Mavericks are finding ways to win, but a lot of their games come down to the wire, they’re ugly, and the offense has yet to find consistency. The Mavs have another level or two they can get to and need to reach if they’re going to be profitable. I’ll lay the bucket with the Bulls at home.
