T.M. Selection: Chicago moneyline.

While I do think Chicago will both win and cover the spread here, my official call will be to lay the price and just bypass the spread option all together. A great "situational" play here. Off revenge win yesterday versus Phoenix, now the Hawks are in a B2B spot and Chicago is also in a B2B but enters this game off B2B home losses after winning 4 straight home games. I say the visitors get caught flat-footed here after the big win last night. The Bulls, prior to B2B home losses, had been playing its best basketball of the season. Expect the home side to keep their foot on the gas from start to finish here as they get back on track after two home defeats by small margins. Chicago finds a way to get the "W" when the final buzzer sounds and the Hawks resume their losing ways on the road where they have lost 6 of last 8 games.

T.M. Prediction: 127-117 Chicago.
