#566 Chicago Bulls -1.5 over New Orleans Pelicans 7:10 PM CT

The Bulls have been an inconsistent group this season at 18-21 after a close loss hosting Sacramento on Sunday. The home stand continues with three winnable games this week and it won’t be a surprise if Chicago can reach .500 by the end of the month. The Bulls are currently 10th in the Eastern Conference standings but are only four games out of the #4 position as it is a crowded picture outside the top three. New Orleans is just 8-32 this season and 3-16 S/U on the road. The Pelicans gave Boston a scare on Sunday however and beat Philadelphia on the road in the game prior. This will be a third straight road game for a team that is 3-14 S/U since early December and just 6-13 ATS in road games this season, even while often a heavy underdog. The Bulls are 4-0-1 ATS in the past five home games despite starting the season with marginal results at home. This is a revenge game for the Bulls as well as Chicago lost in the season opener in New Orleans 123-111. Dejounte Murray is expected back for the Pelicans tonight, but this is an appealing low number for a Bulls team that is playing at a higher level than the season numbers suggest.
