Portland Trail Blazers Breakdown:

Portland is still fighting for a playoff spot, but they’ve been inconsistent on the road. Despite that, they have a decent offense, averaging 112.6 points over the last 10 games, but they’re giving up a fair amount of points too.

  • Shaedon Sharpe: 18.0 points per game

  • Donovan Clingan: 7.4 rebounds per game

Chicago Bulls Breakdown:

Chicago is locked into a postseason spot but could end up anywhere between 7th and 10th in the Eastern Conference. Their offense has been electric lately, averaging 124.1 points over the last 10 games. Their defense, however, has been suspect, giving up 119.1 points per game. With Coby White and Nikola Vucevic leading the charge, the Bulls should be able to outscore Portland, even with their defensive struggles.

Our Best Bet:

Chicago Bulls -5.5
