The Bulls are a much-improved team since they added Otto Porter. They’ve won four of their last five games with the only loss coming in a matchup against the Bucks that Porter sat out with an injury. They weren’t cheap wins, either, with two of them coming on the road and one of them at home against the Celtics. I’ll take the Bulls and the points.
The Bulls have won and covered four of their last five, the exception being a hard-fought, 11-point loss to NBA-best Milwaukee. With Otto Porter in the lineup, they're 5-2. Grab the points and look for the visiting team to win for the fifth straight time in this series.
My numbers see the Bulls and Hawks combining for about 240 combined points Friday night, clearing the Over with room to spare. The Bulls have played Over in four straight road games, while the Hawks are 10-4 to the Over when playing one one day of rest.
