Chicago at Milwaukee

Chicago is trying to hold on to the No. 10 spot in the East on a 9-5 SU/ATS run. They've won four times straight up during that stretch as an underdog, including at Philadelphia (109-105) as a +9 dog, at the Lakers (118-108), and at Denver (117-96) as a +9 underdog. Chicago is third in the NBA offensively in field goal shooting (49.1%) and fifth from the charity stripe (81.1%), while the defense is seventh in points surrendered and ninth in field goal shooting allowed. The Bulls are 25-13 ATS after playing a home game, plus 43-22 ATS against teams that attempt 39+ 3-pointers per contest. Milwaukee won at Washington last night, 140-128, but is 113-147 ATS at home off a road victory. And NBA favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points like the Bucks that have won six or seven of the last eight are 40-76 ATS when playing the second of a back-to-back. Play Chicago.
