The Jazz will look to get back on track after a three game slide. However their road record isn’t something to write home about at 2-9. Can we take the Bulls serious with three straight wins? Mirotic the answer?

The Raptors looked to have had too much time in LA with a disappointing game against the Clippers. Only scoring 92 points where they are averaging 110.5 per game was a definate sign things were off. Phoenix on the other hand just wont be able to match.

Dwight is back in town where his former team mate is the leading MVP candidate. Surely Harden will thank Dwight for leaving in his acceptance speech as he has flourished since the Center’s move to the East.
Best Bet = Houston ML
