*10* Total MASSACRE on UNDER Bulls/Blazers.

The Portland Trail Blazers are back on track with a pair of wins against the two Los Angeles teams following a seven-game skid. They've won much thanks to improved intensity in the defensive end of the court, and I think we'll see a low-scoring game when they host the Chicago Bulls at Moda Center Tuesday night.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. The Return Of Derrick Rose - The Bulls' point guard has missed the last two games but is expected to be back in the lineup tonight. While he adds creativity to the Bulls offense, his contribution on defense should not be underestimated and he'll play an important role in the task of slowing down the Trail Blazers Damian Lillard.

2. Situational - The Bulls held the mighty Warriors to "only" 106 points Friday. The under is 4-1 in Bulls last five after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game and 15-5-2 in their last 22 playing on three or more days of rest.

3. X-Factor - Portland has held the Clippers to 91 points and the Lakers to 93 points in its last two games.

Selection: This is a play on CHI@POR to go UNDER the total (10*)
