Nets vs. Bulls Preview
We know the Bulls have some giddy-up, but the question here is if the Nets will allow the Chicago to play at its preferred race horse pace.
Top scorer Cam Thomas, who missed the Nets' win over LA on Monday with a sore hamstring, did play on Tuesday at Cleveland, and Brooklyn went onto lose again, the sixth straight with Thomas available since he recently returned to active duty.
We'll cut them some slack this time though, as the Cavaliers won their 15th straight game on Tuesday, but it importantly showed how the Nets could play at a slower (and more preferable) speed with Thomas.
Note, Brooklyn is 16-6 to the Under since January 21, slowing down many potent teams, and the Bulls have played at a slightly-slower pace lately, with Chicago going 5-5 to the Under in their past 10.
Best Bet: Under 230 (-110)
Nets vs. Bulls Betting Predictions
By Kyle Murray
Tre Jones Over 10.5 Points
Tre Jones is set to continue to start with Josh Giddey likely to miss this game after being listed as doubtful.
Jones is averaging right around 30 minutes over his last 5 games, and as a result, he is averaging 12.5 points in that time frame.
In his 33-minute projection, I have him at 14.8 points in this matchup against the Nets.
Pick: Tre Jones Over 10.5 Points (-130)
