This will be the 2nd of back-to-back fixtures for the Lakers, who narrowly escaped defeat to the Pacers yesterday thanks to a buzzer beating put-back from King James.
They’ll face a Bulls outfit who have won their last three games, including a victory on the road against the Lakers.
The Bulls home record is atrocious this season, going 13-22 in Chicago, but a H&A record of 8-2 across their last 10 games might suggest they’ve turned a corner.
The Lakers have a losing away record, going 16-19 on the road, and have underperformed when starting the content as road favourites, covering the line on five of 16 such occasions this season.
I’m taking the Bulls to cover with the rest advantage at home.
OKC looks to go 4-0 against the Grizzlies in the regular season, when the pair meet in Oklahoma on Friday morning (AEST).
The Thunder are on a league-high seven-game winning streak and are still fighting to secure the league’s best record, with the Cavs lurking two games off the pace.
Each of the Thunder’s three victories over Memphis this season have been accompanied by a double-digit margin, just going to show OKC’s dominance over the contending teams in the West.
This one is a no-brainer for me, OKC to cover with ease.
