Chicago at New Orleans

Rested Chicago is hungry for a win on a three-game skid. This team is so much better on offense this season at #9 in the NBA in points scored and still great on defense, #9 in field goal shooting allowed. The Bulls are 4-1 ATS following a spread loss, 4-1 ATS against a team with a winning record. Jimmy Butler is averaging 28.0 points on 49.1% shooting in three games since sitting out at Golden State due to an illness. Chicago is rested, not having played since Wednesday, but New Orleans had to play last night in a 116-113 win at Oklahoma City. New Orleans is #14 in the NBA in points allowed and #24 in field goal shooting defense. When these teams meet the road team is 9-1 ATS and the Bulls are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings in New Orleans. Take the Chicago Bulls.
