NBA Basketball Sportsbook Free Picks San Antonio Spurs at Chicago Bulls
By Eric Williams
The San Antonio Spurs, (44-23 SU, 28-37-2 ATS, 28-39 O/U), have dropped four consecutive games and five of their last six in the BetUS.com Sportsbook, and will be looking to emphatically put an end to their losing ways by beating up on the underachieving Chicago Bulls, (27-40 SU, 30-37 ATS, 35-29-3 O/U).
While the Spurs aren’t exactly panicking, they realize the margin for error in the tight western conference playoff race doesn’t allow for many mistakes at the moment.
"Two days' rest is nice, but it's not like other teams aren't going through the same things," San Antonio forward Bruce Bowen said. "The difference is they are completing their games. Right now we are not completing, not finishing our games the way we would like."
The Spurs were handed a disheartening 93-91 loss by the Boston Celtics on Tuesday, while the Bulls come into tonight’s contest coming off a decisive 112-96 win over the lowly New Jersey Nets on Wednesday.
San Antonio has covered the spread just once in their last ten games while Chicago has gone 5-5 against the spread in their last ten contests.
Here is a look at tonight’s Key Trends, followed by my analysis and NBA Betting Picks:
The Spurs are 2-5 ATS in their last seven vs. NBA Central.
The Spurs are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 games following a ATS loss.
The Bulls are 4-0 ATS in their last four games playing on one days rest.
The Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games.
The Under is 4-1 in Spurs last five vs. a team with a losing S.U. record.
The Over is 4-0 in Bulls last four games following a SU win of more than ten points.
The Spurs are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings in Chicago.
The Road team is 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings.
Analysis: This pick is very simple … the San Antonio Spurs will not lose this game, NBA bettors. Take the Spurs to cover with the outright win.
