Chicago has been on a hot scoring stretch, scoring 110-plus points in 14 straight games. The Bulls' defense is also subpar, ranking 24th in defensive rating. Phoenix is coming off a 129-point performance against Toronto and has had several other high-scoring games recently (141 vs. Denver, 125 vs. Dallas, and 122 vs. Sacramento). The Suns are 4th in rim FG% and 1st in mid-range %, while the Bulls rank 21st in rim defense and 20th in mid-range defense.

Despite both teams' high-scoring games, the under is 5-0 in the Suns' last five and 4-1 in the Bulls' last five. I expect those trends to come to an end, with two potent offenses meeting two below-average defenses.
