AAA's 10* TOTAL OF WEEK (+$40K NBA RUN!)
(NBA) San Antonio vs. Chicago,
Total: 190.50 | -105.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the OVER between the San Antonio Spurs and the Chicago Bulls.

When the smoke clears at the end of this one, we look for this total to eclipse the posted number. The San Antonio Spurs are quietly dominating and own the second-best start in the NBA behind the Warriors. San Antonio has now won 11 of its last 12 and has been getting the job done behind a defense which is giving up an average of 89.7 PPG, most recently pulling off the convincing 108-88 home victory over the Hawks on Saturday. However, we now think that the Spurs are going to get stretched today vs. a hungry Bulls team which comes into this one having dropped two of its last three to end a four-game road trip, shooting a paltry 37.6 percent in those three games and getting held to fewer than 95 points in each: "Just have to keep fighting to get better; just didn't play well," coach Fred Hoiberg assessed last night. "Especially on the offensive end as a team. Movement, get the ball swung; we're doing it in practice, getting the ball swung. We've got to carry it over to the games." Despite its defensive dominance, note that San Antonio has in fact seen the total go OVER the number in 12 of its last 20 vs. the Central division, while Chicago has seen the total sail above the posted number in 12 of its last 21 vs. the Southwest division. We're expecting a wide-open affair in which the home side pushes the pace from start to finish: a quicker game = more shots and more shots = more points. Play on the OVER.
