Bulls at Clippers picks and predictionsPrediction

Clippers 126, Bulls 120

The Bulls have gone 3-3 since snapping an 11-game losing streak. They are 11-21 in away games and 3-7 when they are on the back end of a back-to-back like this game.

The Clippers are 18-13 at home and have won 4 straight there. They are averaging 127.9 points in their last 7 games, 6 of which are wins.

Things are going well for the Clippers, so don’t expect the Bulls to pull off the outright upset, and the Clippers ML is worth far less than betting either team to cover the spread.

PASS.

The Clippers have been double-digit favorites 7 times this season and 5-2 ATS in those games. Eight of the Bulls’ last 14 losses have been by more than 14 points.

However, while the Clippers are scoring at a high clip, so are the Bulls, who have scored 130 points in consecutive games. So expect a high-scoring affair that ends up being closer than it should.

BET BULLS +13.5 (-115).

Their first meeting this season had a total of 248. With the Clippers averaging nearly 128 points per game in their last 7 contests, if they keep that pace against a Bulls squad that allowed 124 or more points in 3 straight games, it shouldn’t be hard to hit the Over.

BET OVER 233.5 (-115).
