Portland Trail Blazers vs. Chicago Bulls Prediction
The Portland Trail Blazers have quietly covered 6 of their last 10 games, but they’re just not a team I trust most nights, especially on the road. THE The Trail Blazers are still just 31-35-1 ATS this season, and they are 8-24 SU on the road. The Chicago Bulls are fighting for playoff positioning and need to take advantage of games like this. The Bulls have won 4 straight games against the Trail Blazers, and none of those games were close. Additionally, the Bulls have a winning record of 35-32-1 ATS this season. This should be a double-digit win for the Bulls. I will share the points with the home team.
