Houston Rockets at Chicago Bulls Pick
Not too long ago, Chicago appeared to have been unbeatable at home. As a result, takers were exposed to heavy premiums to back Chicago on its own floor despite the losing record overall this season. However, the opposite is likely the case here. Houston has become one of the NBA’s quintessential public teams. This can be chalked up to the off-season acquisition of point man Chris Paul to complement the game’s best shooter in James Harden. The dynamic duo anchor the latest “superteam” and such hyperbole often spells a tendency for said club to be overvalued. Like Cleveland and Golden State, the Rockets own a stellar win-loss record but have performed poorly against the spread. This is a common motif of public teams. We will certainly take advantage of this narrative to get enhanced points in a favorable setting not just for a cover but an outright upset. Don’t be shy to look at Chicago on the Money Line here as well.
