Chicago Bulls vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction

The Dallas Mavericks should win this game comfortably, but you could have said the same when they played the Pacers and Rockets. The Mavs have been sluggish out of the gate and they’re not a team I’m excited about as heavy favorites. The Mavs are also down-rotation players, which makes this line odd. The Chicago Bulls have been hanging around teams this season and are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as double digit favorites. Give me the points.
