The Mavericks just beat the Thunder 109-86 and this is a classic over reaction to that game coming on Monday where the Mavericks who have an aging squad have to play on 0 days rest. The Thunder played without Russell Westbrook and Dallas has just been on a tear shooting the ball, but I'm thinking that simply can not continue especially with some tired legs tonight. The Celtics also played yesterday, but this team is much younger and has nothing to lose at this point and they are 7-0 ATS playing in the 2nd of back to back road games this season. I'm simply thinking there is too much value and Brad Stevens has the Celtics playing hard each time out.
The Bulls are getting the Thunder at the right time having lost in an upset yesterday to the Mavericks playing without Russell Westbrook and now having to travel to play a Chicago team that is red hot. The Bulls defense has been one of the best all season if not the best and that continues here at home. The Thunder are typically a strong defensive team, but right now they just seem to be a bit gassed and playing on 0 days rest is not going to allow them to recover as they continue their last 5 game trend of allowing 110.2 ppg.
