[talking sports picks]

Tonight we like a play in the NBA ..Chicago Bulls
At Seattle Supersonics..Bulls 2 and a half point road favorites.These two teams split on EDGES offensively and defensively
..Seattle in the very crudest comparisons..a slight edge
in ppg at 99.7 vs the Bulls 98.9..
Interesting that the bulls average just over 98 points on the road.
and the Sonics at home..average just over a hundred points per game..edge Seattle for what its worth
Now head to head..Bulls won their last meeting by
15 in Chicago December 13th..last meeting before that
was a four point seattle win in Chicago but that was last season.

Bulls are coming off of a 12 point loss at LA clippers..2 nights ago..Seattle played the same night..they’re off of 3 straight losses including losing both ends of a Texas road trip in Houston and
Dallas…but not easy opponents and the other loss for Seattle in
that three straight was vs the LA clippers..

Key injury factor: Check status of Bulls Center Ben Wallace(knee)
the four time Defensive player of the year was on a stationary bike
yesterday..Might be shooting for a Saturday return!

Bulls on the road this year..5-15 ATS..and maybe lost in all
of this..Chicago owns a terrible road record..Away from the
United Center..Bulls have just 6 wins this year..worst in the NBA East…
Sonics are also extremely bitter about their 14 striaght road losses..
The Seattle media is grilling them about maybe not winning another road game again this season..so they might just be loose tonight playing on home court…It could help
We like Seattle(+2.5) plus the 2 and a half points as home court underdogs.Sonics plus the points over Chicago.
