Bulls at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 119, Spurs 111

Moneyline

The BULLS (-142) are the play if you don't want to lay the little bit of points, as the Spurs (+120) just cannot be trusted, even at home.

San Antonio lost its 15th consecutive game Wednesday in Minnesota, losing 102-94, and it is now just 1 game short of tying the franchise record. It isn't by lack of trying, as the Spurs have cashed against the spread in 4 of the past 6 games overall. But you can't trust the Spurs to win outright right now.

Against the spread

The BULLS -2.5 (-106) roll into The Alamo with 3 consecutive wins and covers, which is not great news for the Spurs +2.5 (-114). San Antonio is trying to avoid tying a franchise-worst losing streak, and it looks inevitable that the red-hot Bulls are going to keep the Spurs down.

The good news is that the Spurs have won and covered 3 in a row at home against the Bulls, including a 129-124 win in 2022 as a 4.5-point underdog last season.

Honestly, laying the bucket over the moneyline is a better value.

Over/Under

OVER 225.5 (-110) is the play, especially because of the Bulls. Chicago has cashed the Over in 5 of the past 6 games, going for 115.0 PPG in the past 3 outings, while allowing 110.3 PPG during the span. The Bulls have allowed 116 or more points in 6 of the past 8 outings overall, too.

For the Spurs, the defense is horrific, and what has been holding them back. They've allowed 117 or more points in 4 of the past 5 games, and 14 of the previous 16 outings. That Over is 11-6 in the past 17 games overall, too.
