Chicago Bulls vs Los Angeles Clippers Prediction
The Los Angeles Clippers have the ability to win this game comfortably, but they have been hit or miss in recent weeks and have failed to cover in 7 of their last 10 games. Don’t look now, but the Bulls are having a great week and are almost a .500 team. Plus, it’s a very early start for a west coast team, and that may be weird for the players. The Clippers also have a questionable Harden, Leonard and PG13, so check the reports before locking anything up. Give me the Bulls and the points.
