The Brooklyn Nets will host the Chicago Bulls on Sunday night at the Barclays Center with tipoff set for 7:30 PM ET. The Nets are playing their second back-to-back set this season and are coming off a 112-97 victory over the Miami Heat who played without stalwarts Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler due to lingering injuries. The Nets earned a 109-107 win in Chicago on November 3rd. Since then, the Bulls have struggled mightily. Chicago heads to Brooklyn on its third three-game losing streak of the season and has six losses in its last seven games.

Nets vs Bulls Best Bet
Bulls +4.5 (-106 FanDuel)
With the Nets on a back-to-back, they enter this game against a Bulls team that has severely underperformed so far this year. Coming off a 36-point effort, and with his health improving, Zach Levine presents a tough matchup for a Nets team that ranks in the bottom-third in defense so far this year. Bulls center Nicola Vucevic also has a matchup advantage in the paint and should be able to overpower Nic Claxton.
With the Nets losing their previous second night of a back-to-back, and Chicago needing to get back on track, I expect the Bulls to come into this game angry and fully prepared to end their losing ways which makes a moneyline bet a great selection as well.
