Bulls at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Misfits 115, Bulls 107

Moneyline

The Mavs are the scene, but not here.

Instead, this was a hit for us in the Pacers game, and I stand by it. To take KYRIE IRVING OVER 2.5 THREE-POINTERS (-105). He has 3+3s in 4 out of 5 games.

BetMGM has placed a 20% odds boost token in most accounts, bringing this to +114.

Against the spread

I feel the BULLS +9.5 (-105) here. They’ve lost twice in a row, but they’re annoying enough to keep it within nine points. Last year they suffered a 9-point loss in Dallas. Play it lightly, but that’s what I’d lean toward.

Top/Bottom

The Bulls are 5-2 O/U so far and the Mavs are 3-4. Both meets last season went Under, and those totals were 232.5 and 220. Dallas is quietly 10th in defensive rating, and the Bulls are tied for 15th, which should improve.

Take the UNDER 236.5 (-110).
