Uncover the Underdog Picks Set to Shake Up Wednesday’s NBA Action!

Kings vs. Bulls, 8:00 ET

There are four teams in the NBA that are undefeated after a week. The Thunder were expected as the reigning champs. The Spurs were a lot of people’s pick to take a big step forward this year. The 76ers are a bit surprising, but they needed a rebound year, and still have a lot of talent. The last team… no one, even die-hard Bulls fans, would’ve predicted that they would start the season looking as good as they have. They beat the Pistons in the season opener, then beat the Magic in Orlando, and took down the Hawks in their last game. Their offense looks phenomenal with Josh Giddey orchestrating it. Nikola Vucevic looks great to start the year. Eventually, they probably come back down to Earth, but what is most impressive about the team to me is they are all scoring well – eight guys had double-digits the other night – and they are moving the ball well. The team is averaging almost 30 assists per game. They don’t rely on iso-ball to score. That makes it very tough on defenses to stop them. The Kings played last night, and if you follow me on Twitter, you know we got a win on them. So far, they’ve lost to the Suns by 4, beat the Jazz by 1, and then lost to the Lakers and Thunder by 7 and 6, respectively. The Kings can put up points with the best of them, but their defense is going to be an issue. Sacramento essentially rebuilt last year’s Bulls team. They grabbed DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine. I’d argue the Kings have the three best players in this game, but they are not playing well together. The Bulls are. I have a strong lean to the Bulls -4.5, but I am taking the over 237.5 in this game. The Bulls like pace, and if the Kings want to win, they aren’t going to do it with their defense. I’m backing the over the big number.
