Bet on NBA - Bulls (+ 13) vs. Warriors (- 13)

By D. S. Williamson

Have the Chicago Bulls turned the corner from a wagering point-of-view? They covered against the BetUS NBA Betting spread in three straight games. They are 6 and 4 against the spread in their last 10. One of those against the spread wins came on the road versus the Portland Trailblazers. True, the Bulls did not win the game straight-up but that doesn’t matter a whole lot to us. The Warriors are 4 and 6 against the spread in their last 10 games. They haven’t improved at all from last year. That really surprises me as Nellie did sign that huge contract over the summer. The Warriors will make the playoffs, but don’t expect them to surprise like they did last year.

Here are some trends:

The Chicago Bulls are 6 and 1 against the spread in their last 7 games following a straight-up loss.

The Chicago Bulls are 4 and 1 against the spread in the last 5 overall games.

The Golden State Warriors are 9 and 2 against the spread in their last 11 games on a Thursday night.

The HOME team is 10-2 against the spread in the last 12 meetings between these two teams.

Luol Deng is out. Ben Gordon is doubtful and Kirk Heinreich is questionable. Even though I’m not a fan of the Warriors this year against the spread, do the Chicago Bulls have any chance of keeping this game close without three, much less two, of their star players on the court?

I don’t think so. It’s not like Ben Wallace is all of a sudden going to find his form from six years ago and dominate in the paint. The Bulls couldn’t be coming to town any worse for this game. They are in shambles.

The Warriors still have Baron Davis and as Baron goes so do the Warriors. I feel bad for Baron. He’s stuck up in Oakland getting victories here and there, but if he were with a team that really cared about winning, he’d probably have the Warriors in the top five in the league both straight-up and against the spread.

Oh, well. I guess we’ll have to keep cherry-picking Warrior against the spread BetUS wins.

The BetUS NBA Betting line is Golden State Warriors – 13 against the spread at home versus the Chicago Bulls.

I have to take the Warriors to cover this spread.
