NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Bulls ML against the Nets:
“As a Bulls fan, I am always optimistic about spots for them to win, but the market is pretty telling in making them the favorite. Brooklyn is coming off a win over the Lakers and a five-point loss to the Cavaliers, so on paper, be should run to the window on this Nets team. However, it’s the third game in four days and this is a less exciting matchup with a Bulls team that likes to run, especially in front of the home crowd. I lean the Bulls here and think they could earn their fourth-straight win.”
