Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NBA Game #705 Monday Free Pick OVER the total in Brooklyn Nets vs Chicago Bulls @ 7:35 ET - After opening up at a 221.5 this total has dropped under 220 and there is good value with the over in this one. These teams just met in Chicago on Saturday and, for record-keeping purposes for many, it went into the books as an under because it stayed under the closing total. However, from the time that total opened until less than an hour before tip off, anyone who played the over one with it. This does skew the stats a bit because many are looking at this game and the history between these teams and looking at the 5 straight unders in their meetings. However, Saturday's game was truly an over and it would have been the Bulls 4th straight over and the Nets are so hot from 3-point land and jacking them up that another high-scoring game can be expected here. The Bulls game plan is to beat them at their own game and I expect to see a ton of 3-pointers from both teams here as they look to outduel each other. It will be a livelier game than you might expect in a late season meeting between two 27-53 teams but that is because Chicago wasn't happy about Brooklyn seeming to have a bit too much fun in the win on Saturday. That said, the Bulls are going for the upset here but they don't have the defense to do it and that's why I am liking the total a lot in this one. Chicago has allowed 113 points per game their last 3 games. The Nets have allowed 113.9 points per game in their last 7 home games. Free Pick OVER the total in Brooklyn
