The Bulls have had a tough run of it lately but they have been on the road a lot and have played some tough games against good teams. Eight of their last ten games have been on the road. But they are back at home tonight and five of the next six are at home, and this is a chance to turn the season around. The Bulls are 6-2 at home this season and have covered a lot of spreads here. Brooklyn is one of the better teams in the league they could start their homestand against. Brooklyn has a losing ATS record despite getting some very generous lines. They have played a little better lately, but they have covered some games against teams that probably knew they could win without giving 100 percent. But the Bulls don’t have that luxury as they are in desperate need of a win here. Brooklyn is coming off a rare win vs Charlotte and this team is Fat and Happy and they aren’t even trying to win a lot of games this season with no hopes of any postseason glory. The Bulls have won the last two meetings by a combined 22 points, and we expect another double-digit win here.

The Ducks have won three of four lifetime meetings. The Mammoth are in a freefall and have lost eight of their last ten games. But the oddsmakers keep lining them like they are a really good team. Maybe time will tell that they are, but we just have to fade them for the time being. Anaheim has one of the best offensive attacks in the league and they have been very tough at home. We expect the head-to-head trends to continue here tonight.

2 Unit Play. Take #727 SMU over Vanderbilt (9:15p.m., Wednesday, December 3 SEC Network) Vanderbilt is having a resurgence in football and basketball but I see them having a letdown tonight after winning the Battle 4 Atlantis last week. SMU is also undefeated on the season and Andy Enfield is a good coach that will get SMU into the Big Dance. We will grab the points with them tonight.
