On Sunday, January, 31st at 3:30 P.M. the (25-19) Chicago Bulls will be on the road to take on the (30-16) Los Angeles Clippers. “The Crowd” projects a final score of Bulls 99.3 – Clippers 97.9 with an over/under of 197.1.  The Clippers enter the game with a (15-7) home record while the Bulls are (9-10) on the road.  The Clippers have won 2 straight games while the Chicago just dropped their 19^th game of the season.

The Clippers are (7-3) in their last 10 games whereas the Bulls are just (3-7).  This is a bad match-up for the Bulls who rank last in forcing turnovers.  The Clippers are one of the best teams in regards to fewest turnovers.  Even without star forward Blake Griffin, I like the Clippers to defend their home floor.
