Nets Spotlight

The Brooklyn Nets are coming off an embarrassing loss in Portland, despite being 8.5-point favorites. Offensively on the road, the Nets rank 4th in points per game, 1st in field goal percentage, and 2nd in 3-point shooting. Defensively on the road, the Nets rank 12th in points allowed, 1st in field goal percentage, 1st in 3-point shooting, and 13th in rebounding. 

Bulls Spotlight

The Chicago Bulls just blew past the Detroit Pistons, while covering the 13.5-point spread. Offensively at home, the Clippers rank 5th in points per game, 3rd in field goal percentage, and 2nd in 3-point shooting. Defensively at home, the Clippers rank 12th in points allowed, 12th in field goal percentage, 16th in 3-point shooting, and 12th in rebounding. 

Final Say

When you’re a team full of super stars, and you lose to a younger flourishing team, that probably sticks in the back of your mind. This game will probably be all about getting revenge for the Nets, who are also probably going to want to redeem themselves after an embarrassing 6-point loss to the Trailblazers. The Bulls are feeling pretty mighty at the moment, winning 10 of their last 11 games, but that includes games against the likes of the Hawks, Magic, Rockets, Pacers, and Wizards. The Nets have been good on the road this year against the East, going 9-2 SU, and I like them to improve that record to double digits tonight. Roll with the Nets to get their revenge.

Pick: Brooklyn Nets +2
