Friday NBA Betting – Lakers at Bulls on ESPN. The Los Angeles Lakers are slight favorites in NBA betting on Friday as they take on the Chicago Bulls. This contest will be televised on ESPN and should be popular with gamblers making an NBA bet at the Sbg global sportsbook.
Lakers Not Covering
The Lakers have not been a team you want to make an NBA bet on lately. They have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight games. Los Angeles started off well this season but now if they win straight up they don’t cover the spread. This game on Friday is not going to be easy either as the Bulls are a tough team, especially at home.
Bulls 4-4-1 ATS at Home
Chicago has won their last three games but they have only covered the spread once. Chicago beat Cleveland 88-83 on Wednesday but they didn’t cover the point spread. Derrick Rose had 29 points, eight assists and four rebounds in that contest.
Under Looks Good
The trends point to this game going under the total. 11 of the last 14 meetings between the two teams have gone under the total including six of the last seven in Chicago. If you want to play a parlay then perhaps the Lakers and the under are worth a shot. Los Angeles has covered four of their last five at Chicago.
