The Bulls have received a needed boost from rookie Coby White, who has scored 33 points in each of the past two games. He is providing a second threat alongside Zach LaVine as the club endures an extended absence from forward Lauri Markkanen because of a pelvis injury. LaVine had 39 points but Chicago squandered a 26-point lead at Oklahoma City in the previous meeting. Look for the Bulls to at least take this one to the wire and cover what appears to be a bit of an inflated spread.

The Thunder are back on the road, so you know I’m intrigued. They are a stellar 21-5 ATS on the road, including 5-1 ATS as road favorites. Meanwhile, the Bulls are 12-17-1 ATS at home and are still dealing with a ton of injuries. Even if Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) does return for this game, he will likely be on a minutes limit. Give me the Thunder to cover on the road once again.

The Bulls shot 49 percent from 3-point range Sunday as they snapped an eight-game skid. I don't expect them to repeat that tonight against OKC. With the Thunder 22-5 ATS in their last 27 road games, I'll lay the points.
