NBA Picks: Kings at Bulls

December 21, 2009

Online Sports Betting at Sportsbook

The Sacramento Kings have been one of the best surprises of the 2009-10 season, overachieving on an almost nightly basis while recording one of the league’s best ATS records heading into Monday night.  The Chicago Bulls have been one of the biggest disappointments in the league this season, failing to improve on the positive signs they showed just last season.  Tonight, both teams will be trying to pick up a victory when they battle at the United Center at 8 PM ET.  Still, when looking at the NBA point spreads you’ll see the home team is favored by four points over the Kings with the total set at 197.  If you are looking for a place to get your bet in on this game or others, then take a look at the $500 match bonus offered to our readers by BetUS!

The Kings have alternated wins and losses over the last six games but managed to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 96-95 in a thriller on Saturday.  Jason Thompson recorded a double-double of 22 points and 10 rebounds and rookie point guard Tyreke Evans scored a team-high 24 points to help the Kings cover the NBA point spread as 6.5-point road underdogs.  Sacramento has gone a robust 4-2-1 ATS over its last seven games and 6-3-1 ATS over its last 10 games overall.

The Bulls came back from a six-point deficit entering the final period to upset the Atlanta Hawks 101-98 in overtime on Saturday, cashing in for pro BetUS basketball betting backers as 4.5-point home underdogs.  Derrick Rose scored a team-high 32 points to lead the Bulls while Luol Deng chipped in with 21 points in the win to help the Bulls cover the NBA moneyline for the third consecutive game while moving to -5-2 ATS over its last 10 games overall.

Analysis: The Sacramento Kings have been very consistent against the spread this season and have gone an impressive 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games as a road underdog. However, I like the way the Bulls have played over their last three games, cashing in for their backers each time out.  The Bulls have gone an impressive 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games against NBA Pacific division ballclubs while going a positive 3-1-1 ATS in their last five home games.  Chicago has not allowed 100 points in any of its last three games while averaging 99.5 points per contest over its last two games, up nine points per game from their regular season average of just 91.0 points per game.  I know the Kings have gone a sparking 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings against the Bulls in Chicago, but I like the Bulls to snap that trend tonight with a solid home victory while the Under moves to 7-1 in the last eight meetings between these two rivals.

We have a pair of NBA picks on this game tonight, taking the Bulls -4 and the UNDER.
