The San Antonio Spurs are looking for their fifth consecutive victory in Chicago tonight, looking to hand the Bulls their fifth loss in seven games. The visitors have momentum on their side, and they are coming in hot, so Chicago will need to be at it's best defensively if it hopes to compete. The total for tonight's game looks a little high considering that these are two very solid defensive teams.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - Seven of the last 10 meetings between these two teams has gone under the total, and tonight's number is higher than it was in nine of those 10 previous contests.

2. Spurs Defense - San Antonio has held opponents under 100 points in six of their last seven games overall.

3. X-Factor - The under is 11-4 in Spurs last 15 vs. Eastern Conference.

Selection: This is a play on the Spurs@Bulls to go Under the total (10*)
