img7:00 PM Eastern

Brooklyn beat the Bulls 112-109 on Friday night, but tonight the Nets will try to hold onto a lead after Chicago erased a 20-point fourth-quarter deficit before losing two nights ago. Michael Porter Jr. hit a go-ahead layup with 5.4 seconds left and totaled 26 points for Brooklyn, which has won and covered both meetings this season. The past four meetings have gone UNDER and Chicago is on a 12-3 UNDER run at home. The Nets have stayed UNDER four straight road games and four in a row against teams with losing records. The Bulls are 2-5 ATS their past seven games and 3-14 ATS versus opponents with losing records, 2-12 ATS against teams with below .400 winning percentages. The Nets are 9-3 ATS playing with one day of rest and 6-0 ATS their past six Sunday games. Take the Nets and the UNDER.
