NBA Premium Play 12/17: Chicago Bulls @ Memphis Grizzlies


NBA - 707 Chicago Bulls @ 708 Memphis Grizzlies

Projected Line: Memphis by 3 points

This will be Memphis' third game in four nights. On the other hand, Chicago had one day off before this contest. We will have a frontcourt duel in here, where it won't be easy for any team to score easy points down low. After a bad start of the season in terms of rim defense, Chicago is now back at the top and they have just allowed 57% FG at the rim over the last 10 games! Chicago's defense is #1 on post up defense, so Memphis will need to shoot very well from the outside to score tonight, as they will struggle at the paint tonight.

Marco Belinelli has been playing well lately and this is why the Bulls haven't been missing Richard Hamilton a lot. Chicago might struggle in closing the games, but they have been very competitive in almost every game. I expect them to make a great defensive job against Memphis' frontcourt, in order to make this game very competitive. Therefore, I feel like the current spread is just too high for the Grizzlies and so, I'll be taking Chicago in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 707 Chicago Bulls (+6,5) @ -110 / 1.91 on Betonline
