The Phoenix Suns travel to Chicago to take on the Bulls in this NBA matchup between two of the best teams in their respective conferences. The Suns hold the best record in the NBA at 42-10 and will be looking to make it 13 wins from their last 14 when they meet with a Bulls team that sits second in the East. Chicago has been struggling with injuries in recent weeks but have been able to keep their heads above water and hold a 33-20 record. They trail the first seed Heat by only half a game but will have to deal with a back to back in this one after losing to the 76ers last night. Phoenix have a slight rest advantage having last played the Wizards two nights ago in a game that they were able to win 95-80.

Chicago has gotten a bit unlucky with injuries this season as we have seen how good this team is when everyone is healthy. DeMar DeRozan is performing admirably in the absence of all-star Lavine and starting guard Lonzo Ball and the USC product put up 45 points in the loss last night. They come into this match as home underdogs against a Suns team which is arguably the deepest in the league. Despite missing a few role players, the return of big man Deandre Ayton has given them a massive boost with some impressive performances in recent games. This promises to be a captivating matchup given Chicago’s wonderful home record of 19-7 going up against Phoenix’s 20-5 away record. The slight rest advantage and dinged up Bulls squad makes Phoenix rightful favorites but this spread might be just a tad too high.
