This is a 10* TOP TOTAL on the OVER Bulls/Pelicans.

The Bulls have been struggling of late and because of that, we're expecting the visiting side to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish.

Chicago is just 3-7 SU and 2-8 ATS over its last ten. It's coming off a 126-98 loss at Milwaukee, which is significant to note in our case as the Bulls have seen the total go OVER the number in seven of their last nine after a SU/ATS road loss in which they were held to 99 or fewer points in.

The Pelicans play with revenge though after a 128-112 loss at Chicago at the start of the season. That total flew well OVER the number, and I expect a similar up-tempo battle here as well.

The Pelicans' two-game road win streak ended in a 106-103 setback at Charlotte last time out, but previous to that the Pels had eclipsed the 115-point plateau in five-straight games.

I expect a wide-open, and ultimately higher-scoring OVER once the final horn sounds in this one.

Good luck, NP
