Los Angeles Lakers at Chicago Bulls (+9, 193)
There’s ugly and then there’s ugly.
The play of the Bulls this season happens to be of the latter. Chicago has lost 10 of its last 12 games and has covered the spread in just one of its last 10 contests.
The Bulls aren’t defending like they were at the start of the season, but a lack of steady shooting from the perimeter is killing the club’s offensive production.
It was hoped John Salmons would fill the role of 3-point specialist when Ben Gordon left, but the former Sacramento King isn’t living up to expectations.
“Saturday was the first time I actually looked at my stats, my shooting percentages and all that stuff,” Salmons told the Chicago Sun-Times. “Everything is down. I don’t know. I just can’t get it going.”
Expect the Lakers to get up big in the first half and let off the gas pedal in the fourth quarter.
Pick: Under
Detroit Pistons at Houston Rockets (N/A)
The Pistons are taking full advantage of a soft spot in their schedule, despite a rash of injuries. Detroit is 6-0-1 against the spread over its last seven games and picked up outright wins over Atlanta and Denver along the way.
Coach John Kuester is crediting combo guard Rodney Stuckey with his team’s hot streak.
“This week, he went from two guard to point guard to point guard to two guard,” Kuester told The Detroit News, “and it’s an adjustment at times for a young player.”
Stuckey’s got some help now that Richard Hamilton is back in the lineup. The former All-Star shooting guard missed 21 games because of a sprained ankle but scored 18 points against the Warriors on Saturday in his first game back.
The Rockets may be out of fuel after a disappointing loss Sunday to the Raptors.
