Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The Chicago Bulls hosting the Oklahoma City Thunder is an interesting match-up, but one that's leaning towards the 'under' on the Bulls' team total points. The reasoning is fairly straightforward when you look at the Bulls' recent performances. Over their last five games, the Bulls have averaged just 108.6 points, well under the proposed 117.5. And even on their home court, the Bulls' scoring doesn't rise dramatically, standing at an average of 107.4. Furthermore, they've been up against teams that have averaged 109.6 points at the United Center, indicating that they may need to focus more on defense than pushing the score high. Add to this, our model predicts a total score of 106.89 for the Bulls in this game, which gives a compelling reason to bet on the 'under' 117.5 for the Chicago Bulls.
