Why bet on the Chicago Bulls
The Bulls (24-16) came into the season with some pretty lofty expectations placed on their shoulders. While they have not been particularly overpowering, they are just 4.5 games out of first place in the Eastern Conference. They also already have a win over the Cavaliers this season, as they took out Cleveland in the opening game of the season. I spoke earlier about parity, and that is pretty evident in the Central Division, where only 2 teams currently have a winning record versus division opponents. The Chicago Bulls are one of those teams, as they sit at 5-4 in the division. If the Bulls are to win this on, they are going to have to win the battle of the boards. That is something they can certainly do, as they currently lead the league with 48.8 rebounds per game. The Bulls are averaging 102.1 PPG, and are giving up 100.7.
