Game: Chicago Bulls at Oklahoma City Thunder Mar 18 2009 8:00PM
Prediction: Oklahoma City Thunder
Reason: At 8 pm, our member selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder minus the points over Chicago. On Tuesday night, the Chicago Bulls won their second straight game as an underdog, with a 127-121 win over the Boston Celtics. That followed an 18-point victory over New Orleans, and Chicago has now won seven straight home games dating back to February 20. In this span, the Bulls have defeated several quality clubs: Denver, Orlando, Houston, and the aforementioned Celtics and Hornets. But even though the Bulls are winning at home, it's been a different story on the road. Chicago has actually lost seven straight road games, so it's been the exact opposite of its recent fortunes at home. That's one reason why I like Oklahoma City. And the second is that the Thunder have covered eight of 10, and have won four straight home games since dropping a 14-point decision to the Lakers. Lay the points with Oklahoma City.
