NBA Point Spread and Betting Diagnosis

Almost all the stats are awful for the Bulls. They’ve lost eight straight and they are up on your way. Chicago is 3-7 against the spread (ATS) in their last 10 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game and 3-11-1 ATS in the last 15 against teams in the NBA Pacific Division. The Bulls are 1-4 ATS in their last five games against the Western Conference.
The Lakers are 14-9 up in your home but have coated in just nine of these matches. They’re 4-10 ATS in non-conference matches and 7-16 ATS when facing a team with a losing record. That’s ugly.
Chicago Bulls
The Bulls have dropped each of the past seven, giving up at least 117 points in four of those matches. This group has a listless defence that cannot stop anyone. Although they let 111.0 points per game on the season (17th), they have allowed an average of 126.7 in their past three. This includes a beat down in the hands of the Golden State Warriors, who also scored 146 points from this group.
The Bulls have looked utterly lost since coach Jim Boylen took over the group from newly fired head coach Fred Hoiberg. The gamers don’t like his style and also have had run-ins with him. Oddly enough, though the front office just gave Boylen an extension and a raise. The team is just 5-14 under Boylen.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers are without LeBron James right now but they can not pin all their problems on his absence. They were 17-10 at one stage this year and are only 6-13 since. He’s been out since Christmas Day but the Lakers decline started while he was there. This group has dropped five of the past seven and seven of 10.
The Lakers offence has disappeared without James in the lineup since they’re averaging only 107.3 points per game over their last 15 contests (23rd in the NBA). That’s a huge dip in the 121.0 they dropped in October (third in the NBA).
The issue is that this is a really disjointed roster and gamers aren’t developing. Kyle Kuzma is playing good but Lonzo Ball is donating only 9.4 points per game while shooting 36.2percent from the area this month. JaVale McGee averaged 15.5 points per game in October but is down to only 8.4 in January. And Brandon Ingram is still a bit inconsistent as he’s scored 17 or more four times this month but scored 15 or less in the other three games. Insert in that Josh Hart has only 17 points in total in the last 3 games and a lot of the fingers start pointing towards Walton he can not create the young players on this roster. The good news is that the Bulls are a larger mess and the Lakers must look after business in this spot.
