Point Spread: 1.50 | -105.00 Bulls (CHI) (Away)
Result: Loss
The Bulls are coming into this game with a 3-2 record this season and they have been playing well in their recent games. They have won their last 2 straight games and they beat quality teams in both of those, winning on the road against the Grizzlies and at home against the Magic. They have also won 3 of their last 4 games and have won their last 2 straight road games, beating the Grizzlies and the Bucks in those. They made some moves to improve their team this season and so far they have been playing very well on the court as a team. They are going up against a Nets team that is 2-3 this season and they have been playing well in their recent games. They have won 2 of their last 3 games, beating the Grizzlies on the road and the Bucks at home while losing to the Nuggets in overtime in that span. The Nets have also made some moves this season to improve from the disaster they were last year, and Schroder has been a big part of that. Schroder has really been the driving force behind this Nets team as he has been leading the way in their wins, but their losses have been games that he has struggled in so the game plan for the Bulls will be pretty simple. They will be focused on shutting down Schroder in this game and the rest of the pieces will fall in line from there. The Bulls 2 losses were both against stronger teams who made the playoffs last season, losing to the Thunder and the Pelicans, but now they are getting their act together with 2 straight wins and they are going to have confidence coming into this game against a weaker team, especially since their new team and new style has been working for them. The Bulls will cover the spread in this game.
