Bulls vs Nets Betting Prediction
The Bulls come into this game on a high having absolutely ripped apart the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night. They’re on a roll, winning 9 of their last 10 and the only notable player missing is Alex Caruso.
Brooklyn are still getting to know each other and it shows on the court. The Nets suffered an embarrassing loss to the Blazers who were without Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. They’ve now lost 5 of their last 7 games. This would be Kyrie Irving’s third game of the season although he remains a game time decision.
Chicago have covered the spread 68.8% of the time when they’re the favorite and should do so again on Wednesday night. Over a third of the way into the season and they’re a well oiled machine firing on all cylinders.
Pick: Chicago Bulls -1
