Chicago won its season opener 115-111 over Detroit on Wednesday when Nikola Vucevic had 28 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Bulls, who recovered after blowing a 23-point lead. The Bulls are on a 10-2 ATS run against Eastern Conference teams dating to the 2024-25 season and 6-1 ATS versus the Southeast Division. Orlando dropped to 0-5 ATS in its past five October games with an 111-107 loss to Atlanta last night. The Magic blew a 12-point fourth-quarter lead while missing 14 of 21 shots in the final period, and they now have to play a back-to-back. Chicago will look to continue the success it achieved by winning 15 of its final 20 games last season. It had six double-figure scorers against the Pistons. Take the Bulls ATS and on the moneyline.

Chicago at Orlando
7:00 PM Eastern
Chicago is having an awful season at 24-38 — still good enough for the #10 seed in the NBA Eastern play-in round, which is hard to concieve for a team with a .387 win percentage. The Bulls are looking more like a team playing themselves out of the play-in round rather than into it. They are 2-9 in their last 11 games, and look more like a bottom-feeder than a contender. Orlando is 29-34 on the season and holds the #8 seed in the play-in round. The Magic has failed to win or cover each of their last four games. Orlando has dominated the Bulls in recent meetings, and owns a 7-2 ATS mark against the Bulls in the last nine meetings. I like Orlando in this one.
