NBA (701) CHICAGO BULLS VS (702) LOS ANGELES LAKERS

Take: OVER

Reason: Your free play for Tuesday, November 21, 2017 is in the NBA contest between the Chicago Bulls and the LA Lakers. The Chicago Bulls off to one of their worst starts at just 3-11 on the season. They are a bit better against the number, going 7-7. The Bulls have been a good road over team, posting a 8-3 O/U mark their last 11 away games. The Lakers are 7-10 SU on the season and 8-9 ATS. The Bulls have allowed over 113 points in three of their last four games. The Lakers have been scoring, averaging over 110 in their last three games. Problem is the defense, which has allowed 107.5 ppg on the season (22nd in NBA). Lorenzo Ball has finally been finding his groove, delivering his 2nd Triple-Double in just 17 NBA games in the team's 127-109 win over the Nuggets last Sunday. The Bulls are one of those teams this year averaging under 100 points. In fact, they average just 95.5 ppg (29th in the NBA). The defense is poor, allowing 104.9 ppg (13th). The OVER is 4-1 their last five meetings between these clubs. I like this game to go OVER despite a poor Chicago offense. Chicago should be able to amp up their offense tonight against a poor Lakers defense. Play the OVER.
