The San Antonio Spurs (7-2) face the Chicago Bulls (6-3) Monday. Tip-off from United Center in Chicago, Illinois, is set for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Spurs vs. Bulls odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.
2024-25 season series: Bulls won 2-0
The Spurs failed to cover as 11-point favorites in a 126-119 victory Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans. C Victor Wembanyama had 18 points, 18 boards and 3 blocks. The tide turner, though, was G De’Aaron Fox, who scored 24 points in his season debut. He missed the first month of the season with a hamstring injury. He was efficient, too, going 9-for-14 from the floor and 2-for-5 from downtown in 30 minutes.
The Bulls dropped their second straight with a 128-122 defeat at the Cleveland Cavaliers Saturday. They were 8.5-point dogs in the successful cover and are 6-2-1 ATS thus far. Seven Bulls were in double figures, and strangely, C Nikola Vucevic was not one of them. He had 9 points, 5 boards and 4 assists while being a -23 on the floor. F Isaac Okoro led the way with 19.

Spurs at Bulls picks and predictionsPrediction
Spurs 121, Bulls 119
There’s no play here as the Spurs are far more talented and too expensive at -185.
I will take VICTOR WEMBANYAMA UNDER 25.5 POINTS (-105). Why? He just isn’t shooting a lot. He hasn’t had 20 attempts or 25 points in 4 games this month. Fox is back, and they’ll look to get him in rhythm.
I’ll take BULLS +4.5 (-110). The line swelled from 3.5, and the Bulls are still 5-0 at home.
Both teams are 5-4 O/U this season. This is going to be close, but we’re going OVER 237.5 (-105). The Over is 6-4 in the last 10 meetings. The Spurs have cashed 4 straight Overs, and the Bulls are 5-2 O/U in their last 7.
