NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Bulls to cover:
“Indiana just beat Chicago on March 2 over the previous meeting and since then, Chicago has played better. The Bulls are coming off two road wins over Orlando and Miami, plus with three straight losses to the Pacers this season, I’d expect Chicago to play with some pride and try to tie their season-long winning streak of three. It’s Chicago or pass.”
