Chicago Bulls Betting

The Chicago Bulls find themselves trying to even up their win-loss record and will enter this game against the Portland Trail Blazers with a 3-4 standing. Their most recent matchup was with the Dallas Mavericks without Luka Doncic and they had a hard time beating them. For the past four games, they have won three and look to start rolling. Zach LaVine went all out and dropped 39 points over the Mavericks while Coby White had his best game of the season with 23 points, seven rebounds, and four assists. Otto Porter also had a commendable night with 15 points but they need more from Wendell Carter who has been struggling lately.

Portland Trail Blazers Betting

The Portland Trail Blazers have been trying to find their winning form and it has been a struggle molding the new off-season additions to the team’s veterans. They were on the other side of Steph Curry’s career night of 62 points during their last game and lost that match by 15 points. Damian Lillard is getting more comfortable as days go by and he led the team with 32 points, four rebounds, four assists, and six three-pointers. CJJ McCollum had 28 points while Enes Kanter came off the bench with 24 points and 12 rebounds. Heading to this season, the Trail Blazers are deeper but they need to find a way to make everyone comfortable with their roles.
