With Rithmm’s AI Picks model you are able to dive deep into just about any trend you can think of, below is just a snap shot of what I pulled for todays game. 

Nets Preview

The Brooklyn Nets head into this matchup looking to bounce back after a tough loss to the Miami Heat in their previous outing. The Nets hold an 11-8 record, currently fourth in the Atlantic Division, and are looking to maintain playoff positioning in a competitive conference. On the road this season, Brooklyn has been solid, posting a 5-4 record with a +2.4 scoring differential, averaging 113.6 points while allowing 111.2 points per game.

Brooklyn’s offense ranks 14th in the league, scoring 112.8 points per game, while their defense has been impressive, allowing just 110.3 points, good for 7th in the NBA. The Nets are also efficient from beyond the arc, ranking 8th in three-point percentage (38.4%). Key players Mikal Bridges (24.2 points, 6.1 rebounds per game) and Cam Johnson (18.9 points, 5.7 rebounds per game) lead the offensive charge, supported by Spencer Dinwiddie’s 7.2 assists per game.

The Nets’ bench depth has also been a factor, with contributions from Dorian Finney-Smith, Nic Claxton, and Cam Thomas, who is averaging 18.4 points since returning from injury. The absence of Ben Simmons (back) has shifted the defensive burden, but the Nets have responded well with strong team defense.

Bulls Preview

The Chicago Bulls come into this game following a disappointing loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. At 9-10, the Bulls are fighting to stay competitive in the Eastern Conference. Playing at home, Chicago has been reliable, boasting a 6-4 record at the United Center with a +3.6 scoring differential, averaging 114.4 points and allowing 110.8 points per game.

The Bulls' offense has been inconsistent this season, ranking 18th in scoring at 111.3 points per game. However, their defense has been solid, sitting 12th in the league, allowing 112.2 points per game. DeMar DeRozan continues to lead the team with 24.7 points per game, while Zach LaVine adds 22.5 points and 4.8 rebounds per contest.

The supporting cast includes Nikola Vučević, who has been a force on the boards, averaging 11.8 rebounds per game, and Coby White, providing reliable shooting. The Bulls’ bench has struggled with consistency, which could prove critical against a deep Nets roster.

My Nets vs Bulls AI Prediction

What have the Chicago Bulls done to warrant being a 5.5-point favorite? Sure, the Bulls are at home and have the rest advantage, but this line feels excessive. The Bulls are a below-average team that struggles to win, cover spreads, or play consistent defense. Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets might be on the second night of a back-to-back, but they’re still an impressive 13-7-1 ATS this season. Additionally, the Nets have won four straight games against the Bulls, including an 8-point victory last month. I’ll take the Nets and the points in this matchup.

Selection: Nets +7.5
