Bulls +1.5
You will see at the bottom of the analysis this is an excellent percentage move that fits a 24-5 ATS system which applies in near pick-em games like this where at many offshore locations Chicago opened as a favorite. The Bulls have been a poor investment for the most part due to a complete overhaul of the roster in the offseason. But ever since they completed a dismal 5-11 SU/3-13 ATS skid they have both WON-AND-COVERED in 3 consecutive contests while Jimmy Butler was named the league's player-of-the-week (average of 38 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists) in three games played, so he has the ability to counter whatever Russell Westbrook brings to the table. Here is a 24-5 SYSTEM (83-percent the past five years with a near pick em line between +3/-3) which plays AGAINST teams like Oklahoma City with an excellent offense averaging 102+ points per game up against a poor defense (allows 98-to-102 points per game) after a very high scoring affair where 215+ "combined" points were tallied. That system fits host Chicago who is now "getting" points
