For the first time all season the Spurs have lost 2 straight games and they have had big problems facing great teams this season. However, tonight they are big 8.5-point home favorites facing a Chicago team that has won 6 of their last 10 games, but is 3-games under .500 this season.
Last season the Spurs won both of their games facing the Bulls.
The Spurs have their 15-game streak of scoring at least 100 points snapped in their recent loss and they have a tall task tonight facing a Chicago defense that ranks 2nd in the league.
Joakim Noah missed the Timberwolves game with an illness and is questionable for this game. He is averaging 11.7 ppg and 11.4 rpg and will be missed if he cannot go. Out of the lineup last night the Bulls allowed the T-Wolves to score 46 points in the paint.
The Bulls will have to play good D tonight, as they only rank 29th in the league in scoring.
The Spurs only shot 42.7% from the floor in their loss to the Rockets last night and while Tim Duncan had a good game the G duo of Tony Parker and Marco Belinelli combined to shoot 11/27 from the floor. Parker has struggled in the 2-game losing streak and needs to get back on track tonight.
[ad-6571516]
The Bulls have been winning despite the fact that Derrick Rose is out for the season and they traded away leading scorer Luel Deng. They are a balanced squad with 6 players averaging in double figures.
Carlos Boozer is coming off a 20-point and 14 rebound performance and his play will be key tonight on both sides of the floor, especially if Noah cannot go.
After winning 6 straight the Spurs have dropped 4 of their last 5.
Betting Trends
The Bulls are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, and they have an Under record of 9-2 in their last 11 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
The Spurs are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall, 15-3 ATS in their last 18 games following a S.U. loss, and they have an Under record of 7-3 in their last 10 games.
The Spurs are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games against the Bulls.
In the last 7 games between these 2 teams in San Antonio the total has gone Under every time.
Jason’s Pick:
I think the Spurs will win tonight, but they will not blow out the Bulls. Chicago will play solid defense and give San Antonio a game and cover the 8.5-point spread.
