Bulls Spotlight

The Chicago Bulls are coming off a nice two-game win streak on the road, covering the spread in both games, now they’ll play their fourth consecutive road game in Portland. The Bulls offense on the road has been superb, ranking 15th in points per game, 1st in field goal percentage, and 5th in 3-point shooting. Defensively on the road, the Bulls rank 5th in points allowed, 11th in field goal percentage, 11th in 3-point shooting, and 7th in rebounding.

Trailblazers Spotlight

The Portland Trailblazers just handled their business at home against the Toronto Raptors where they shot 56% from the field, while covering the spread in the process. The Trailblazers have been a stellar home team where their offense ranks 4th in points per game, 8th in field goal percentage, and 2nd in 3-point shooting. Defensively at home, the Trailblazers rank 10th in points allowed, 6th in field goal percentage, 22nd in 3-point shooting, and 9th in rebounding.

Final Say

Chicago has been a profitable back lately, going 4-1 ATS in their last five games and 5-2 ATS in their last seven games on the road. However, Portland has had their number lately as the Bulls are just 3-10 SU in their last 13 against them. The Trailblazers haven’t been a fun team to back lately, going 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games, but they have been one of the better teams at home, winning six-straight there. In their last 10 meetings, the Trailblazers own a solid 8-2 SU and 7-3 ATS record where they’ve won by an average of 5-points per game. The Bulls are coming off a sweep of the Los Angele’s teams and now have their fourth straight road in Portland where the Trailblazers don’t mess around. Bad spot for the Bulls here, so don’t be afraid to lay the points.

Pick: Portland Trailblazers -1.5
