Free Chicago Bulls vs. Houston Rockets NBA Prediction:
The Rockets have lost two games in a row straight up, although both of these teams are 2-3 SU in their last five overall.
At this point, the Bulls are the easier team to trust.
If you ask me, that’s probably more an indictment against Houston than it is a testament for Chicago. However, it’s also where my money’s going, with the Bulls both straight up and against the spread.
All that in mind, give this one to the road Bulls in every sense.
