The Mavs will be facing this year's surprise team and one of the best teams in the NBA at this point of the season. Most people thought the Bulls would be battling for the last playoff spot and not the top seed in the East. They will have to do it without Kristaps Porzingis and possibly Doncic. Dallas has been getting it done on the defensive end and they will have to do it again against SeRoazan, LaVine, and Vuc and against a Bull's bench that is getting stronger since Coby White has stepped up and Lonzo Ball returning to the lineup. The Bulls have won nine in a row and doing it from both ends of the court. If Doncic doesn't play the Mavs will struggle to keep up with the Bulls, with him this game because more interesting but I still like the Bulls to win and cover.

Play on Chicago. This is a 7* play
