BULLS vs. MAGIC
Time: Thursday 8 ET
Venue: Amway Arena, Orlando
Spread: Magic -12.5
Over/Under: 204
Team records:
Chicago: 31-32 SU, 30-31-2 ATS
Orlando: 45-20 SU, 33-29-3 ATS
In the TNT opener, the depleted Bulls will try to put a stop to a slide that is pushing them further and further away for the 8th playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Luol Deng likely is out for a few more games with a calf problem, and center Joakim Noah could miss the rest of the season with plantar fasciitis.
The Bulls haven’t kept an opponent under 100 points in 8 games, and the Jazz got the rim repeatedly in scoring 132 against Chicago on Tuesday night.
Betting Trends:
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Chicago’s last 7 games
Chicago is 8-4 SU in its last 12 games on the road
Chicago is 8-4 ATS in its last 12 games on the road
Orlando is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games
Orlando is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games at home
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Chicago’s last 5 games when playing on the road against Orlando
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Orlando’s last 5 games when playing at home against Chicago
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Orlando’s last 6 games at home
THURSDAY NIGHT BEST NBA PARLAY BET:
No secrets in the opener. Bulls have lost 5 straight, Magic have won 6 straight. Noah is out, and Dwight Howard could go off for 35 in this one. Chicago likes to run, but injuries – Taj Gibson and Brad Miller also might not play – has left the team depleted. If the number (Orlando -12.5) is too heavy for your liking, the over would be a good alternative, as the Magic players love to pad their stats at home against bad teams. By this time next week Chicago’s season will be unofficially over.
The Warriors have lost 5 in a row and 7 of 8, and appear in full shutdown mode.
Portland probably needs to go 11-5 in its last 16 to grab the 7th playoff seed and avoid the Lakers in the first round. Either Blazers -5 or the over there.
