Christmas Day Tips
By Kevin Rogers

Bulls at Nets

Chicago: 10-16 SU, 9-17 ATS
Brooklyn: 9-18 SU, 11-16 ATS

A beat-up Bulls' squad went into Barclays Center last May and knocked the Nets out of the first round of the playoffs in seven games. Now, the two struggling teams meet for the first time since then, as each club tries to jump-start their season heading into the New Year.

Chicago snapped a four-game skid in Saturday's home blowout of Cleveland, 100-84 to easily cash as three-point favorites. The Bulls covered as a favorite for the first time in 11 tries, as all five starters scored in double-figures, while Chicago busted the 100-point plateau for the first time since December 7 (a span of nine games). Tom Thibodeau's team has dropped eight of their past 10 games away from the United Center, including five losses by double-digits.

The Nets started to turn things around earlier this month by winning four of five games following a 30-point home blowout at the hands of the Knicks, but Brooklyn has dropped three consecutive contests. The latest setback for Jason Kidd's club came in Monday's 103-86 defeat to red-hot Indiana, the second loss to the Pacers at Barclays Center this season. Brooklyn has cashed just three of the past 11 home contests, including 2-4 ATS when laying points.

The Bulls have won six of the last nine meetings with the Nets, while covering five times in this span. The last four matchups have finished 'over' the total, but all four of those games saw totals of 183½ or below.

Thunder at Knicks

Oklahoma City: 22-5 SU, 15-12 ATS
New York: 9-18 SU, 10-17 ATS

The Thunder saw its nine-game winning streak crash on Sunday night in a 104-98 home defeat to the Raptors. Oklahoma City failed to score 100 points for the first time in 12 games, as the Thunder hits the road for a mini-two game road trip to New York and Charlotte. Scott Brooks' club started the season at 0-3 ATS, but owns a 7-2 ATS record the last nine games off a non-cover. OKC has performed well on the road against Eastern Conference foes, posting a 4-0 SU/ATS mark, winning each game by at least nine points.

The Knicks are a beat-up squad right now, as Raymond Felton suffered a hamstring injury in Monday's victory at Orlando, keeping the point guard out for Wednesday's contest. Also, Carmelo Anthony sprained his ankle against the Magic, as the Knicks' leading scorer is listed as questionable, while not missing a game yet this season. New York held off Orlando on Monday, 103-98 to cash as 1 ½-point road favorites, but the Knicks have compiled a dreadful 1-8 ATS record off a cover.

In Oklahoma City's last visit to Madison Square Garden, Anthony sat out due to injury, as the Thunder escaped past the Knicks, 95-94 as eight-point road favorites. J.R. Smith put up 36 points off the bench for New York, while Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combined to shoot 17-of-42 from the field. OKC has won six of the last eight meetings with New York, while the Knicks have covered each of the past four home matchups in the series.

Heat at Lakers

Miami: 21-6 SU, 13-14 ATS
Los Angeles: 13-15 SU, 15-12-1 ATS

This matchup used to be the highlight contest on Christmas Day, but the loss of Kobe Bryant to a knee injury has watered down this Lakers' squad. Miami finished off a perfect 5-0 homestand with Monday's comeback overtime triumph over Atlanta, 121-119, but the Heat didn't take the money as 7½-point favorites. Dwyane Wade missed his seventh game of the season due to knee soreness, as LeBron James took over with 38 points and eight rebounds to give Miami its 14th home win in 16 tries.

The Lakers are coming off consecutive road blowout losses at Golden State and Phoenix, but Los Angeles has put together a 6-2 ATS record as a home underdog this season. Mike D'Antoni's team is riding a four-game 'under' streak, while the Lakers have won two of three home contests against Eastern Conference foes. Los Angeles has fared well off consecutive losses this season, winning four of five times, including two of those victories at Staples Center.

The Heat has won six of the last seven meetings with the Lakers, while Miami is facing Los Angeles on Christmas for the first time since 2010. Five of the past six matchups have finished 'under' the total, while the Heat is 2-1 SU/ATS at Staples Center since the Big Three formed in 2010.
