Charlotte Bobcats (15-24)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Charlotte Bobcats had some nice momentum going last week, winning four straight and beating five straight spreads, but they\u2019ve erased that in a hurry. Charlotte travels to Chicago tonight having lost three straight games.<\/p>\n

The Bobcats do a decent job defending, ranking 11th<\/sup> in the league in scoring defense, but they\u2019re 28th<\/sup> in offense. They\u2019ve failed to reach 100 points in five straight games. They\u2019re getting respectable seasons out of guys like Stephen Jackson but the Bobcats don\u2019t have that trusty 20-points-a-night scorer to rely on.<\/p>\n

Chicago Bulls (28-13)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Chicago Bulls have been one of the league\u2019s best teams for a couple of months now. They\u2019ve won five of their last six games, beating up on the weak but also taking out big guns like the Celtics and Heat over that span. Unlike many NBA powerhouses, the Bulls typically do well against the spread, going 23-16-2 on the year. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the Bulls\u2019 secret? Maybe it\u2019s their depth. Derrick Rose has been far-and-away their best player but, if he falters on a given night, there\u2019s always someone else to step up. Carlos Boozer has been a force under the basket; with this 28-point effort last night against Memphis, Luol Deng showed he can be the man, too.<\/p>\n

One problem for the Bulls: Boozer may not play tonight. He missed last night\u2019s matchup with an ankle injury and is questionable for tonight. If he can\u2019t play, that would leave the Bulls without two key starters: Boozer and Joakim Noah, who remains out with a thumb injury.<\/p>\n

The pick:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bulls to win outright is a fairly safe bet tonight. Chicago is 18-3 at home this season and the Bobcats are 4-14 on the road. Also, the home team has won seven of the last eight meetings between these two teams.<\/p>\n

But what about the spread? The last six Bobcats\/Bulls games have been decided by seven, three, five, eight, nine and five points. They always play each other close. Factor in Boozer\u2019s possible absence, not to mention that Chicago played a road game last night undermanned, and I think the Bulls will have to grind out a close one tonight.<\/p>\n

Trends<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

The total has gone OVER in 4 of last 6 games when playing Chicago
\nCharlotte is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games when playing Chicago
\nCharlotte is 1-6 SU in its last 7 games when playing on the road against Chicago
\nCharlotte is 1-11 SU in its last 12 games on the road
\nChicago is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games at home
\nChicago is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games when playing at home against Charlotte
\nChicago is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games
\nThe total has gone UNDER in 12 of last 18 games at home<\/p>\n

Bobcats vs Bulls prediction: <\/strong>Bulls 100, Bobcats 95<\/p>\n

Money Line: Bulls -400
\nSpread: Bobcats +8
\nOver\/Under: OVER 184.5<\/p>\n
