The Chicago Bulls lost in Detroit by a score of 107-91 on Saturday, but they might have a few key players back in the lineup tonight as they host Charlotte. This looks like a tough spot for the visitors, who played last night in Minnesota, and will be playing a third game in four nights here in Chicago. My money is on the home team to get the job done against a road weary opponent.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Previous History - The Bulls have won four straight home games against teams with a losing record, while the Hornets have lost three of four on this road trip.
2. Injuries - Taj Gibson is back, and he will be playing his third game since returning from injury. He's played limited minutes over the last two games, totaling 19 points. Jimmy Butler will return this week, and is a possible game time decision for tonight's contest.
3. X-Factor - The Bulls have been a good bet when coming off a loss, as they are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games following a ATS loss.
Selection: This is a play on the Chicago Bulls (10*)
