Chicago at Orlando

Premium Pick

Chicago is a mess, losing nine of ten. Chicago fired coach Fred Hoiberg last week, suffered a 56-point loss to Boston, then the players staged a mini-revolt when new coach Jim Boylen insisted on a practice while the players wanted to hold their own meeting. The Bulls are on a 5-11 spread run, off a loss to Sacramento (108-89) committing 27 turnovers! Orlando has been under the radar with oddsmakers, on a 9-4 spread run. That included straight-up wins over the Heat, 76ers and Lakers (twice) as an underdog. Orlando rookie center Mo Bamba returns tonight from a one-game suspension and the Magic are 13-5-1 ATS when following a straight-up loss of 10+ points. And the last two times they've been favored by four or more points they won by 14 points each game. Play Orlando.
