Why Should You Bet on the Bulls?
Jimmy Butler has elevated his game yet again, posting a triple-double on Saturday against Detroit and then putting up 25 points on 10-of-11 shooting from the floor (and dishing out eight helpers), as the Bulls staved off a furious Bucks rally. The Bulls are right on the edge of the playoff race in the East, two games behind Indiana and Detroit, who are tied for the last spot in the East playoff race. They are playing on a roll right now, with their playoff backs to the wall, and this could be a time when they get on a winning streak against a short-handed Grizzlies team.
Why Should You Put Your Money on Memphis?
The Grizzlies have suddenly gone into a free fall, losing six in a row and now down in fifth place in the West. Memphis is still looking to get back into full health, but even the returning players are struggling, as Zach Randolph only went 5 for 15 from the field. The team is having to assimilate younger players with starters missing significant time, and that inconsistency shows on both ends of the floor, as the team struggles to get stops and to find open, makeable shots up and down the floor. The only way I would bet on Memphis in this game is if I could get a double-digit line.
Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction
I like the Bulls to dominate the action early and often against Memphis. I’m predicting a 102-89 Chicago win.
