  • The Brooklyn Nets (32-22 SU, 29-25 ATS) welcome the Chicago Bulls (26-28, 28-24-2) to Barclays Center on Thursday as the hosts look to snap a two-game skid.

    The Nets opened as the 3.5-point favorite at home with the total set at 230.5 points. Chicago might have an upper hand in this matchup, though, having won four of the last five meetings between the two teams. Meanwhile, it could be a low-scoring duel as the UNDER is 8-1 in the last nine clashes between the Nets and Bulls.

    Latest Betting Notes: Bulls

    The Bulls had their three-game win streak snapped Tuesday as they fell 104-89 to the Memphis Grizzlies. Nikola Vucevic had a dominant game for Chicago with 28 points and 17 boards while Zach LaVine added 24 points, but no one else scored more than 14 for the Bulls. Ja Morant led Memphis with a 34-point performance.

    Chicago’s leading scorer, DeMar DeRozan, sat out Tuesday’s contest with a hip injury and is once again questionable for Thursday. The Bulls are a middling offensive team even with DeRozan in the lineup and we saw on Tuesday how much they struggle without him as Chicago scored just 14 points in both the first and fourth quarters.

    Latest Betting Notes: Nets

    The Nets suffered their second straight loss on Tuesday as the Phoenix Suns eked out a 116-112 victory in Devin Booker’s return. Deandre Ayton led the way for Phoenix with 35 points and 15 rebounds in the win. Cam Thomas piled up 43 points for Brooklyn but the Nets came up short as no one else managed more than 17.

    While the Irving trade and the ensuing reported Kevin Durant deal has understandably been the talk of the week in Brooklyn, Thomas has made his best efforts to steal the spotlight, scoring 40-plus points in three straight games. The second-year shooting guard is averaging just 10.4 points per game this season but became the youngest player in Nets history to post three straight 40-point performances.

    The Keys to Victory: Bulls

    The Bulls have actually been pretty strong offensively over the last couple of weeks, averaging more than 120 points per game in their five contests prior to Tuesday’s loss. A big part of that has been increased production from Vucevic, who has scored 20-plus points in six of his last eight outings.

    Should DeRozan make his return to the lineup on Thursday, the Bulls will be in a good position to keep their offensive momentum going, and they very well may be able to outduel a Nets team that’s struggled since the Irving trade.

    The Keys to Victory: Nets

    The Nets are getting some reinforcements for Thursday as both Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith are set to make their debuts after being acquired from the Dallas Mavericks. Dinwiddie will especially be relied upon to give the team a jolt as he averaged 17.7 points and 34 minutes per game with Dallas prior to the deal.

    Thomas has been absolutely fantastic since the trade but if Brooklyn is going to earn its first win without Irving, others will need to show up as well. If Dinwiddie can inject some life into the team and Thomas can stay hot, the Nets will have a good shot at the win.
