(NBA) Phoenix vs. Chicago,
Point Spread: 1.00 | -110.00 Phoenix (Away)
Result: Win
The Suns are coming into this game with a 3-4 record this season as they have been dealing with some injuries to Booker and Beal. They have not been great recently as they have lost 3 of their last 4 games but they are coming off of a double digit road win against the Pistons in their last game and that will give them some confidence here. Kevin Durant still has the ability to put a team on his back like he did in their last game and now they are going up against a Bulls team that is 3-5 this season and has not been playing well either. The Bulls have also lost 3 of their last 4 games and are coming off of a win in their last game but they also have not faced many tough teams in the league up to this point. Most of their games this season have been against teams that failed to make the playoffs a year ago and the Bulls have also been awful on the defensive side of the court as they have one of the worst defensive ratings in the league, ranking in the bottom third. The Suns have a much better defensive rating though despite their injuries and even their starters like Kevin Durant have been much better with a defensive rating under 110 this season while the Bulls only have 1 player on their roster with a defensive rating below 110 this year. Kevin Durant is going to put the Suns on his back here to win against a struggling Bulls team but this game is also going to be won on the defensive end which the Suns have the advantage in. The Suns will cover the spread in this game.
