Suns vs Bulls Preview

Chicago will travel to Phoenix on Friday for a battle versus the Suns. For the latest NBA betting trends and NBA free picks on Friday’s game, check out our Suns vs Bulls preview below.

Bulls Looking To Beat A Good Team

The Chicago Bulls are going to be coming into this one at 0-15 against the top four seeds in the Eastern and Western conference. Chicago is a team that has championship aspirations, which leads to many questions about this team and what they’re going to be able to accomplish come playoff time.

The Bulls are going to be coming into this one after losing their last two games. The most recent game against the Utah Jazz saw them lose 125-110. Zach LaVine had an impressive night, but wasn’t able to do enough as he finished with 33 points.

On the season, Chicago has the 16th rated net rating, the 10th rated offensive rating, the 21st rated defensive rating.

Suns Are The Best In The League

Despite not having Chris Paul out there on the floor, the Phoenix Suns have still found ways to win ballgames and that is extremely impressive. In prior years, Phoenix was unable to win some of these games before Paul was on the team, which shows that their future even without him is going to be a bright one.

Phoenix is going to be coming into this one after winning their last three games including an impressive win over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. In their game against the Rockets, Devin Booker led the way with an impressive 36 points.

On the season, Phoenix has the number one rated net rating, the number three rated offensive rating, and the number three rated defensive rating.

Free NBA Picks — Suns vs Bulls

For this game, I’m going to go with the Phoenix Suns to cover the spread. Chicago is certainly a team that could make some noise come playoff time if they do figure things out, but with their trend of not beating teams who are in the top four of either conference, I can’t imagine that is going to change against the best team in basketball.

I think Phoenix is actually going to be able to win this one easily; I am going to put money on them to win by 10-plus points.
