Brooklyn Nets vs Chicago Bulls Prediction

This line probably has something to do with that Zach LaVine’s injury and the oddsmakers are leaning toward him not playing. Still, the Bulls are the better team than the Nets, and they are coming off wins against playoff teams the Magic and Grizzlies. It’s hard to see the Brooklyn Nets as favorites against anyone, as this is one of the worst teams in the league and a club that is stacking draft picks to win in the future. Whether LaVine plays or not, the Bulls should win this game. I grab the free bucket.
