Heading into Tuesday night’s match up against the Miami Heat, Chicago (30-28 SU, 23-25 ATS) had lost two straight in falling to Portland 103-95 and Atlanta 103-88 while failing to cover the spread both times. The good news for the Bulls is that both, Pau Gasol and Doug McDermott have showed up in a big way with both players averaging an identical 19.0 points per game over the two-game stretch. Gasol had a triple-double against the Blazers the last time out and McDermott has scored in double-figures in a career high five straight games. “He and [Gasol] have really developed a great chemistry,” Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said. “Pau is such a great passer and Doug can cut and move. Having [Dunleavy] out there with Doug also helps him a lot.” The bad news is that Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler have both missed the last two contests. Not only that, but Chicago is also just 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games against teams from the Southeast division and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.Why Bet The Orlando Magic
Heading into Tuesday night’s matchup against the Dallas Mavericks, Orlando (26-32 SU, 32-25 ATS) managed to snap a modest two-game skid by beating Philadelphia 130-116 on Sunday to cash in as a 9-point home favorite. Prior to that win however, Orlando had dropped two straight and three of its previous four games. Against the Sixers, the Magic got out to an early first half lead and held on as Philly mounted a second half comeback try. Nikola Vucevic and Victor Oladipo each scored 28 points while high-flying Aaron Gordon added 21 points and a highlight reel jam that ended Philadelphia’s last charge. “I have the tools to be a 20-point-per-game scorer in this league,” Gordon said. “We’re getting better as a team. And I’m getting better as a player. The more I play, the more I’m soaking it all in.” The Magic are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games against their Eastern Conference counterparts.
