CHI giving 3. We think CHI should be giving about 5 to the "wizz in your pants" - Washington Wizards. The Bulls edge them out in points for by over 3 and points against by nearly 10. The on-the-road factor means nothing to us because the Bulls are a nice, round 6-6 ATS on the road, with one of those losses @CLE which worries us a little.
However, that doesn't scare us off the pick because Washington is a bad team. They have covered in 4 of their last 10 and two of those were more than +12, which isn't impressive. They demolished the Bobcats two days ago, but once again, not that impressive. Charlottes best player (arguably) went 5-12 for only 13 pts, but we expect him to bounce back in the frontcourt tonight. Nazr Mohammed is pragmatically a non-factor vs. JaVale McGee, so that may wash out a better effort from Jackson tonight.
CHI -3

NJN getting 8.5. A battle of New's. We think those jerky boys can possibly win this game SU, but are sticking with the PS for obvious reasons. New Jersey stinks. But, so does New Orleans, coming into this game hovering in the 11th spot of the western conference power rankings.
New Orleans is quite capable of going on a losing streak ATS, and we're weary of them anytime they are giving more than 5 pts, even to a bottom-dweller like New Jersey. Avery has his team playing well for what they are and Avery LOVES to win in New Orleans. Look for a close New Orleans win against a team who has been improving and will come to this game with a stomach for the fight, a stomach to keep it within +8.5.
NJN +8.5
