Chicago Bulls Betting

The team shot a terrible 34% from the field and their best performer was Nikola Vucevic doing 24 points and 17 rebounds in his first playoff game.

The forward made six of his 25 shot attempts but was able to finish with 18 points along with eight rebounds, six assists and three steals. Zach Lavine had a fair night doing 18 points, 10 rebounds and three assists.
