- The Chicago Bulls are 11-point home favorites against the San Antonio Spurs Monday night
- San Antonio begins its monster 9-game rodeo road trip riding an 8-game skid
- Read below for the Spurs vs Bulls preview with odds and prediction
Winners of three of their last four, the Chicago Bulls (25-27, 15-11 home) hope to keep pushing up in the East ladder, away from the other teams trying to get into the play-in.
They’ll be up against a San Antonio Spurs side (14-39, 5-18 away), firmly in the race for the prized top pick Victor Wembanyama.
San Antonio begins its annual 9-game trip, as the rodeo comes to town, and they are reeling, having dropped eight straight — their fourth skid of at least five games this season.
It all gets underway Monday (Feb 6) at 8pm ET from the United Center, in a game you can see live on NBA League Pass.

The NBA odds aren’t giving much love to the Spurs, installed as 11-point underdogs in a game that features a total of 237.
In ninth at 25-27, the Bulls are a game ahead of the 10th-place Washington Wizards, while both the Toronto Raptors and Indiana Pacers sit just 1.5 games back of them in the chase for a play-in berth.
San Antonio is 14th in the West, and are tied with the last-place Rockets for the fewest road wins in the conference with five.
San Antonio Betting Analysis
The Spurs’ latest loss was a 137-125 decision to the Philadelphia 76ers.
The home team shot themselves in the foot, committing 18 turnovers that the Sixers converted into 26 points. That capped a winless 4-game homestand for the Spurs.

About the only bright spot was the play of rookie Malaki Branham, who posted a career-high 26 points and three assists. He was the only Spur to top 20 points.
Already the worst defensive team in the league, surrendering 122.5 points per game, that number has ballooned to 130 points per game during this skid.
Teams are shooting a sparkling 54.3% from the field and 45% from distance against the Spurs. They have a -15.6 point differential during this stretch, with only two games decided by less than double digits.
Chicago Betting Analysis
It’s the last of a 4-game homestand for the Bulls, looking for their third straight win at the United Center. Last game out, they beat the Portland Trail Blazers 129-121.
Zach LaVine, in the middle of trade rumors as we count down to Thursday’s deadline, led the team in scoring with 36 points, adding six boards and five dimes.

DeMar DeRozan had 27 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, while Nikola Vucevic chipped in with 23 points and 11 rebounds.
Chicago is middle of the pack in both offensive and defensive scoring, but they really struggle generating extra possessions. The Bulls are 3rd-worst in the league in offensive rebounding (8.8), a big reason why they’re tied for dead last in second-chance scoring (10.8).
Spurs vs Bulls Betting Prediction
This is the second and final meeting of the season between these two. San Antonio won the first matchup 129-124 at the end of October.
Even with San Antonio’s struggles, they’ve had the Bulls’ number of late, having won four of the last five head-to-head matchups and are 5-1 against the spread in their last six head-to-heads.
They’re a little dinged up though, with Jeremy Sochan (back) already out, and Keldon Johnson (ankle) and Tre Jones (foot) listed as questionable.

The Bulls haven’t been destroying teams at home, with a +2.6 point differential, but they do have the 8th-best success rate as a home favorite, going 8-6 against the spread.
San Antonio is tied for the best OVER success rate in the NBA, going 31-20-2 on the season, and the over has hit in four straight when they have had at least two days rest.
While the over has hit in two of the last three meetings, those are the only two hits in the last 10. In fact, the under is 6-1-1 in the last eight meetings between these teams in Chicago. That’s enough to get me away from that hefty spread.
