This is a 10* TOP SIDE on the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls have struggled against the "better" competition in the league this year. That doesn't bode well for a team with big playoff expectations.

That said, here's the perfect opponent to get back on track in that department against.

The Bulls have started off their road trip with back-to-back losses, first falling 112-103 to Sacramento, before most recently falling 125-110 at Utah. We had a successful play on the "OVER" in that one.

Chicago returns home for a big game against the Raptors, which is then followed by another five-game road trip, starting at Milwaukee.

This is a crucial stretch for this revenge-minded visiting side, which fell 127-124 at home to the Suns as 6.5-point underdogs in early February.

The Suns come in off three straight wins, most recently pulling away for a 129-112 road win at Houston.

Hard to find any fault with the Suns right now, but the Bulls are 7-3 ATS in their last ten in trying to revenge a SU home loss against an opponent.

I say the "hungrier" team digs deep and, at the very least, keep this one close enough with the spread.

The play is CHICAGO.

Good luck, NP
