Houston Rockets vs Chicago Bulls, 12 pm
Bulls +1
Houston appear to be in shambles and it’s tough to peg them as favourites against anybody right now. Christian Wood has already been ruled out, with Oladipo as doubtful and Cousins as questionable here.
The Rockets have lost 8 of their last 9 contests, most of which were against some pretty dreadful sides. You’d have to think the focus now is on getting the younger guys some minutes and angling for better draft position.
The Bulls have actually been quite competitive this season and have regularly cashed tickets for bettors. 10-4 ATS on the road is particularly impressive, especially when compared to Houston’s 3-8. Injuries to Markkanen and Porter definitely hurt, but I ultimately think Chicago has a decent shot at the road upset here.
