My model says the Bulls cover in over 70 percent of the simulations, so you're getting excellent value with them at this number. Chicago is coming off its fifth loss in six games and, despite its injury issues, will be looking to take out its frustrations against the league's worst team. The Bulls won both of the previous two meetings this season, including a 123-88 romp at Orlando in November. The Magic have lost four straight and 14 of their last 15, and they're just 2-17 at home, where they haven't won since Dec. 1.
More bad injury news hit the Bulls when it was learned Saturday that Alex Caruso (wrist) will be out at least six weeks. Their depth chart has been decimated of late and no reinforcements are expected for this game. With that being said, the Magic have been awful at home, posting a 3-15-1 record there against the spread. With DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic still healthy, look for the Bulls to cover this small number.
