Jim Boylen made his Bulls coaching debut against the Pacers on Tuesday and Chicago covered an eight-point road spread losing 96-90 to the Pacers. The Bulls showed more discipline and intensity under the veteran coaching of Boylan than they did with Fred Hoiberg, who was letting Zach LaVine run the team

The Bulls' talent level isn't that bad especially with Lauri Markkanen back from an elbow injury. He's gotten the rust off after playing in the past two games.

Chicago should be pumped for a strong effort in Boylan's first home game as head coach.

Oklahoma City is playing its third road game in five days. The Thunder have had trouble getting up during their past three road games against weaker teams. They defeated the Suns by 10, lost to the Kings and had to come from 23 points down to nip the Nets by two this past Wednesday.

(Editor's note: Stephen Nover is on a huge 9-1 run the past three days. Stephen is winning in all the sports! So get on board with him and starting turning huge profits in football, basketball and hockey starting today with his Games of the Week in the NBA and NHL.)
