This is a 10* TOTAL BK on the UNDER Hornets/Bulls.

Both teams have been playing to several high-scoring games of late, but I'm expecting those trends to end this evening.

Charlotte is just 6-12, while Chicago is only 7-14. These teams need a victory here and I'm expecting each to double down on the defensive end.

Chicago has now won two straight, and while it has seen the total go OVER in five straight, note that the Bulls have in fact seen the total go UNDER in eight of their last 12 after playing to five or more straight OVERs in a row.

Look for the competitive nature of this game to help in driving this one UNDER the number once it's all said and done.

Good luck, NP
